OK, I've got one story that dwarfs all the others:
When I was younger, I was even more self-centered than I am now. I didn't get to play as much golf back then, just 20 or so rounds a year. I finally got married when I was 33, and was still in my honeymoon phase with golf. So when we got married, I took the opportunity to play several rounds during my honeymoon in Kauai. This was before my wife started playing the game. She eventually learned to play and became a good golfer, a 15-20 handicapper who could play to her handicap in competition. She can really putt when it matters.
For most of the rounds, I would go out and play an early morning round while she relaxed or went to the spa. But for one round, she came out and joined me while I played the Prince Course, a Robert Trent Jones, Jr. design. The course eventually developed a reputation for difficulty. It is routed through a tropical jungle on a hillside with deep ravines. The course had beautiful reddish sand and a unique appearance. There were some brutally narrow and difficult holes, but overall it was beautiful and fun to play.
The NFL Pro Bowl was playing in Hawaii that week, and I was paired that day with a couple of Washington Redskins. Looking at Wikipedia to refresh my memory, it must have been Earnest Byner and Hall of Famer Darrell Green. I was playing pretty well that day, and was maybe three or four over on the front nine. The 10th hole is quite unique, a 575 yard par 5 shaped like a fish hook. There was a deep ravine on the left side of the fairway, and it was a long three shot hole if you played around the hook. But a good drive down the left side created the opportunity for a second shot at the green across the ravine. Still using the beloved Orlimar Diamond fairway woods, I nailed 3-wood down the left side off the tee, leaving about 220 yards to the green, and requiring about a 200 yard carry. I chose 5-wood for my second shot, and mishit it badly into the ravine. In anger, I slammed my club into the ground, and it snapped in half. Although it may not be literally true, imagine wife with head down, hand on forehead. My wife adds that one of our playing partners said at the time, "Oh, that's too bad. You were using that club a lot.", which lifted her spirits dramatically. I then grabbed the next best option, and slightly mishit my 3 wood fourth shot, but miraculously it was enough to carry and landed on the green about 30 feet away. I made the putt for a 6.
I will say that Messrs. Byner and Green were gracious throughout the round, busy having a good time without our assistance or interference. My wife was so embarrassed, and I am mostly embarrassed that I did not devote more time to my wife on our honeymoon. The broken club is now a happy memory.
