Save every single one of those score cards, and if he ever brags to anyone about beating you, clear your throat and present the scorecards with the actual scores on them and ask him to think again.

We are going to do just fine as partners.
Man, who cares what he does and what he says. There’s soo much more to worry about than a non competitive playing partner saying he beat you and bragging about it. If that’s what he needs to feel good about himself, let him have it. You’ll know that you are the better player and beat him repeatedly.
If someone asks you about it, ask them if they have ever played with him. If they tell you no, tell them to go play a round with him then we can discussion. But seriously, his boastfulness is such a minute point in your entire life.
I don't think keeping his score is necessary. The next time it happens just make a semi-funny comment back about any of the rules violations, penalties, etc., to make your point.
I have done that in the past. He acts like I'm trying to hurt him.
I'm surprised no one has said this yet or maybe I missed it. But I see this as an opportunity.
He thinks he's better, may I suggest a MONEY GAME. He may give you some bumps too. He'll learn the rules real quick.
What do you think?
and me, to you as well!
Remember the 6th hole at Simi and saw you chunked twice on your chip shot and I was like, "meh... who cares. I didn't see anything."
all seriousness, integrity is key in this game but I enjoy playing with friends. I could really careless about all this unless there's betting involved.
I play with a guy who is similar and he said something very similar once and I quickly, but politely set him straight. I challenged him to a round and said we would count every shot and penalty and suggested we play for 5 dollars a hole. He quickly decided he didn't want to do that and I explained that I was fine with the way he plays but not okay with him claiming to be a better golfer when he is not counting all his strokes. He now will say "that was a birdie.. Not a legitimate one though". Now it's a friendly joke about legitimate and ilegitimate scores. The one big difference is that he's a quick player even when taking multiple balls. In your case the slow play alone would kill me.

To be fair, I chunked it so bad I didn't even hit the ball. The club sort of just stuck in the ground.
Right. And I'm not.Oh dude... I don't care. You don't have to defend yourself. We've all chunked so bad that ball doesn't move. Intent swing or not. I'm not going to win any tournaments in this lifetime... it really doesn't matter if I shoot an 70 or a 100.
Now that (8 to birdie) is funny. How'd that play out?Definitely! It doesn't stop me from having fun. I think I just need to stop paying attention. It's tough to do. When we played on Monday he made a "birdie" (it was actually an 8,) and he let out a huge "WOOOO!" and danced around the green. It's borderline comical. Though it would be a lot easier to laugh if he didn't act as if it were a serious score.
I agree with some of the other posts. I'd keep the score, but not sure I'd say anything unless he claimed to beat me again, then I'd drop the hammer.Now that (8 to birdie) is funny. How'd that play out?

Nice. How many strokes are you penalized for moving your ball? What about failing to move it back before playing it? Just so much going on there.3 balls off the tee. 3rd tee shot landed in some trees, but very playable. Tosses it out to the fairway, and sticks the next shot to 8 feet. Drains the putt. So by my math he was hitting his 7th for his "2nd" shot

What do you think?
If playing with your "friend" is no fun, I think you should find other people with whom to play golf.
He wants to write down an 80 then let him write down an 80.
But if he boasts about beating you that's when you drop the hammer on him and tell him what he does during a round of golf.
