Now....if you break them by hitting them into a tree or pounding them into the ground or throwing them in a fit of temper...that's abuse, and unwarranted.

But here is the bottom line, those clubs belong to the golfer...and if he wants to, he can throw them in the lake...they are his to do with as he wants as long as he does not hurt someone with them.  For a sports store to refuse to sell that golfer new clubs would be, simply said, ridiculous!  Watches, golf clubs, cars...they are things!
