Dilemma RE Playing Partner

[Simbo]

I am going against the wind here and maybe put it out there that you are overreacting a bit, but my thinking is as follows:

1. If he walks off and leaves you on your own to finish the round, although not good manners/behaviour by him you are going for a round of golf so does it really matter if you are on your own or with someone - I accept the social aspects of golf, but surely you are enjoying it if on your own or not.

2. Now this has happened a couple of times then dancing around the issue will not bring it to a head or make it go away and he needs to be aware that it fires your rockets when he does this. So either bring it up with him direct and chat about it (not at the beginning of a round!) to clear the air as he may not be aware how much it annoys you or you can have your little dig which will fly 30000 and climbing over their head and you will be back to square one.

I think most people are of the opinion to address the situation which will make for a more pleasant round.

Really??
You don't think it's at all rude and ignorant to stomp of the course like a 5 year old spoilt brat without saying anything to your "mate"
Because your not playing well.
If you've already tried to talk to him about his tantrums, I'd personally just not phone him next time I was playing, arrange a game with some others and wait until he clicks and says "he wait a minute, how come tam, billy and shug are playing and they've not asked me" then when he asks you about why your playing with other guys and not him. Tell him straight
. He probably thinks he can get away with it with you because you're "family". Does he do this with other people or just you?

I'd decline any offers to join him in the future, see how long it takes for him to get the hint and see if an apology is forthcoming.

Are you a member of a club? Why not get involved in their roll ups instead. I would definitely refuse his next offer of a game and when he asks why tell him
