Canadian golfer Adam Hadwin had a day to remember — or forget — during the second round of the Valspar Championship on Friday, though the golf course itself might have had the last laugh. And yes, this is real life, not a scene from a sitcom.

Hadwin, 37, found himself in the rough on the par-four tenth, facing his third shot from 44 yards out. His attempt to reach the green fell short, landing in the greenside bunker. Frustrated, Hadwin let his emotions loose by slamming his club into the ground. Unfortunately for him, the Innisbrook Resort’s Copperhead Course had a surprise in store: a sprinkler head.

The impact triggered the sprinkler, which immediately began spraying water as Hadwin stood by, looking simultaneously helpless and mildly amused. He tried stepping on the sprinkler to stop the spray — spoiler alert, it didn’t work. Eventually, he squatted next to the fountain of frustration until help arrived to turn it off.

After the sprinkler drama subsided, Hadwin managed to escape the bunker but ended up two-putting for a double bogey. Ouch. His day didn’t improve much from there; he finished the round with a 76, five-over par, and missed the cut by three shots.

But Hadwin wasn’t the only player making headlines for outbursts this week. Sahith Theegala found himself enraged after a poor tee shot on the par-three fourth hole. His club slipped from his hands mid-swing, and as his ball veered off course, Theegala retrieved his iron and tomahawked it into the ground with gusto. Meanwhile, Patton Kizzire had a moment of his own, punting his putter across the green after missing a short putt on Thursday. Who knew the Valspar Championship had such theatrical flair?

Not everyone shared in the frustration, though. An Byeong-hun is sitting pretty at 7-under par and currently holds the solo lead in the third round. Clearly, some players are finding peace amidst the chaos.

Golf: the sport where tempers flare, sprinklers surprise, and sometimes, the course itself fights back.
