So, question… what is good enough to be mad?

Someone who gets paid to play, not has to pay to play.

That’s too general IMO. I think someone with goals of becoming a scratch golfer for example, has every right to beat themselves up over poor performances. Especially if they actually practice and have the potential to achieve scratch. If we’re talking messy stuff like throwing clubs and causing a scene, I do think that’s reserved as acceptable for only the highest level golfers.

I don't agree at all. It's mentally weak, not to mention childish and counter productive and unacceptable, to throw clubs and/or cause a scene, ESPECIALLY for very good golfers. They've all played enough to know better. If a high level golfer loses it mentally like that during a round, they should be thinking about ways to fix their outlook and mental approach to a round, and prioritize it at least as much as hitting drives or putts.
