That was the last time the golf ace ever tossed the club in the air angrily. He told his fellow pro-am partners about the last time he threw his club away. The players responded, “oh, it’s easy, just whirl it,” teaching him something they could have regretted in their lives. Mickelson followed their advice but made a mistake that almost injured his partners. “I didn’t let go in time and the club goes backwards and misses [their heads] by eight inches,… that’s now officially the last time I’ve thrown a club still.”
Mickelson’s father taught him how to stay disciplined and stay out of trouble on the field. However, the advice his pro-am partners gave him could have taken him to jail for his act of fun. Mickelson has pranked a lot of golfers in his career, especially the ones he has played alongside. Thankfully, his sense of humor has not gotten him into much trouble yet!
