GOLFER Matt Wallace appeared to tell his caddie to “shut the f*** up” in an X-rated rant at the Valspar Championship.
The English star, 32, finished joint-seventh at the Copperhead course in Florida over the weekend with a score of one under par as Taylor Moore claimed victory.

But his solid performance was marred by a meltdown on the 18th hole as he shot from a cart path on Saturday.
Wallace prepared his attempt, before caddie Sam Bernard jumped in to try and convince him to go with another tactic.
Bernard reportedly wanted Wallace to take a drop to the right of the path.
But golf star Wallace reacted furiously to the suggestion.
He seemingly said: “Shut the f*** up and stop trying to get involved… stop trying to get involved.”
In response, Bernard appeared to tell the golfer: “I don’t want to be involved.”
Wallace ended up making par on the hole and finished with a round of 70, before the pair completed the tournament together on Sunday.
And NBC‘s on-course reporter Cara Banks revealed: “I can confirm that the partnership is all well.

“They will be back together [for Sunday’s final round]. Matt was simply frustrated after his bogey on 17 and hitting that errant drive on 18.
“He was frustrated that Sam questioned whether or not he should take a drop before that second shot.”
Wallace is known for occasionally losing his rag out on the course.
In 2019, the world No175 raged at ex-caddie Dave McNeil during the BMW International Open.
In the same season, he also buried his putter into the ground during the 2019 British Masters.
And two years ago at the Wales Open, he launched his clubs during a frustrated outburst in Newport.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible that a professional Golfer can make a living from the game?
Yes, you can make money as a professional golfer. However, it requires hard work and dedication. Pros can make millions each year.
How do you improve your golf score?
These tips can help you improve your golf game quickly.
- Practice more and play less. If you want to get better at something, practice more. You can’t play enough to improve your skills.
- You should play when you feel good. There will be times when you don’t feel like going out on the course. Don’t force yourself into doing things you don’t enjoy. Instead, find ways that golf can be made more enjoyable.
- Pause. Golfers will often take breaks during a round to stretch, walk around and eat lunch. Taking breaks helps your body relax and keeps you focused throughout the round.
- Water! It is easy to forget how many drinks you have consumed while on the course. You should drink enough water to avoid becoming dehydrated. You will feel refreshed and ready for your next round of golf if you drink plenty of water before, throughout, and after the game.
- You must eat right. Eating healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, and low fat dairy products will give you energy and allow you to perform well on the course.
- Hydration is key. Drinking lots of water is the best way to stay hydrated. It is recommended that you drink eight glasses of fluids per day. This includes water from drinks (such as coffee) and plain water.
- You should warm up properly. Warm up for the round by moving or running for five minutes. Focus on becoming loose and limber.
- Keep your head down. It’s important that you keep your eyes focused on the ball when you tee-off. You should not be looking at the ball, or where it lands. Instead, your eyes should be on the hole.
- Proper form is key to a smooth and graceful swing. Different people may interpret proper form in different ways. But you should try to avoid swinging at your target. Instead, aim for the ball to be in the middle of your club face.
- You should be focused on the process. While there are several factors that contribute to a successful golf swing, focusing on the process will help you develop the most effective technique. If you struggle to keep your hands still, relax your grip. Focus on good posture, if you find it difficult to balance.

How To
How do I improve my putting abilities?
As you practice your putting game, there are many things you can do to make yourself a better putter. First, get great instruction from someone who has experience. We have a guide on how to find golf instructors if you don’t know anyone willing to give lessons. If you find someone you like, you can ask them if private lessons are available. Make sure to examine their schedule so that you don’t accidentally book something that isn’t compatible with another lesson.
If you’re looking for a pro shop where you can rent clubs, try one of these shops: Golf Galaxy, PING, TaylorMade, Titleist, Callaway, Cobra, Ping GOLF, Wilson, Nike, FootJoy, Scotty Cameron, and many others.
The next step after getting some instruction is to start practicing. You can do this in two ways. You could first buy a set and start hitting the balls into holes with them. This is great because you can use different types of putters (long irons, mid irons, wedges) depending on which type of shots you feel most comfortable with. But, unless your equipment is expensive, you will not be able practice enough to improve your putting skills.
Another way to practice is to play mini games online. You can compete with other players, or you can just practice your game. For example, there are several websites that let you play Putt-Putt, where you must hit a ball into a hole. TopGolf is another site, as well as StrokePlay or Wii Sports Club.
Once you have enough practice, it’s time to move onto the next phase in improving your putting game. Your technique is the next phase. You’ll need to focus on three areas of your putting stroke, namely your grip, stance, and alignment.
Stance refers to how far back you stand when you address the ball. One common mistake made by beginners is to stand too close. As you face the ball, your body should be away from it until you start moving forward. Your feet should be approximately shoulder-width apart, slightly bent.
Your hands should be free and relaxed. Your hands shouldn’t be closed. Instead, put your hands on your shoulders.
Your arms should be straight, but not locked down. Throughout the entire putting stroke they should remain free.
Alignment refers the degree to which your hips move as you swing through a shot. The majority of people tend to rotate too much their hips, making it difficult for the shot to align properly. Your knees may bend slightly when you are aiming for the target. Your hips will turn toward target as you swing through shot.
Grip refers to how you position your fingers on the clubface. Many people have trouble gripping the club correctly. Your index finger should touch the bottom edge of your putt while your middle finger touches the top. Your ring finger should be placed on the side of the shaft, while your pinky finger should be positioned above the line of the handle .
A new putter may be an option. A new model might help your game, even though all putters don’t work the same.
