Bob, as the eminent TEP indicated to you, a player may be disqualified for abuse to an official under Rule 33-7. As an experienced official, I can tell you that in terms of behaviour on the course, there is nothing I will tolerate less than abuse towards officials or volunteers. I will allow considerable leeway if the player's reaction is directed towards himself/herself but not if it is directed outward.
The game of golf deserves far better than petulant and abusive temper tantrums. Fortunately, it is my experience that such behavior is extremely rare.
