In most cases, I seems to be able to handle uncomfortable situation well, in this case I'm not so sure so I'm looking for advise.
I have a buddy I play 9 holes with once or twice a week. I'm an 18 handicap and he's a 17 handicap. During the round he throws his clubs and has little hissy fits. When he and I play together with other guys or in an event, he doesn't display this type of behavior. I'm assuming he feels comfortable to behave that way when he just around me.
So at this point it's getting old and kind of taking a little pleasure out of playing golf with him. I had said something (non threatening) a while back and for a round or two he was pretty cool. Lately he's gotten worst. I have the opportunity to play with other friends and other courses, we have four local courses in our membership.
I'm thick skin and can go on ignoring his fits but should I? Part of me says life is to short for this and why put myself in that situation. Curious how others would handle this situation. Thanks for any input you have.

Thanks again.
