102-year-old golfer causes social media stir with club throw
A video of a 102-year-old golfer launching his club in anger has gone viral.
It doesn't matter how old you are or what level you play at, golf is one of the most frustrating sports you can play. We've all been there when you hit a topped shot or a chunk and feel the rage build up inside you, causing you to launch your club, take a nice chunk out the ground, or in some cases just snap the club in half.
The latest angry golf video to go viral is a little different, as the golfer involved happens to be 102-years-old. Watch the video below as Steve Elkington, the 1995 PGA Championship winner, shares a video of his friend Dr Lemack getting a little frustrated with his tee shot.
Everyone knows golf is hard ...

The fact that Lemack is physically able to swing a golf club at the grand age of 102 is incredible and the video received hundreds of comments, so check out some of our favourite responses below.
"I love it. So impressed he’s still play at 102. Wow."
"He's got a good transition for 102."
"Did he get a letter from the PGA Tour?" joked Tour player Olin Browne.
"Love it!!! Still got the passion!"
"Hopefully 103 will be the year he stops acting like a baby?"
"Damn... It's gonna be like that for me that long???"
"You're damn straight I'll be chucking clubs if I'm able to swing them at 102. I'll have the biggest idgaf attitude you'd ever seen. Wait I kinda might already...."
"This is the video people needed today! I can only hope I'm still chucking irons at 102"
