One of them is trying to make a putt from about 10 feet. The voiceover of the video states that the putt is made "for $500 dollars." Missing the stroke was what unleashed the player's anger.According to Twitter user "Denny" (@PudPuller77), the perpetrator of the damage to the green received a permanent ban from the club and a fine of $5,000 as a penalty for what he did.Damaging a golf courseIntentionally damaging any course is serious business in this sport. Given how difficult it is to keep it in top condition and how important it is to the game, taking care of the course is considered part of golf sportsmanship.So much so, that there is a rule about it. Rule 1.2a, in force for all golf tournaments, states that:"Players are expected to play in the spirit of the game by acting with integrity, showing consideration to others and taking good care of the course."According to the United States Golf Association (USGA) in explaining this rule:"It unequivocally states the Committee’s authority to disqualify a player for any serious misconduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game."The application of this rule in 2019 is well remembered, when Sergio García was disqualified from a tournament on the DP World Tour for damaging several greens, prey to his frustration.It was the Saudi International of the European circuit. Garcia was in a bad moment of his career and he did not perform well there. The damage caused to the greens affected several players, who complained about it.At the end of the round, Gracía was informed of his disqualification. This was the official statement, according to Sky Sports:"Sergio Garcia has been disqualified from the Saudi International powered by SBIA during the third round of play under rule 1.2a, which allows for disqualification if a player has committed serious misconduct."Later, the Spaniard issued a formal apology for his unsportsmanlike conduct."I respect the decision of my disqualification. In frustration, I damaged a couple of greens, for which I apologize for, and I have informed my fellow players it will never happen again," Garcia stated.According to data from Sky Sports, the greens damaged by García were five. Since then, similar events have not been reported in golf at the highest level.
