Have you ever just grown out of a playing partner? Perhaps too much foul language, too slow, talks too much, late all the time.....whatever.....you just don't want to play with that person anymore.

I have found severing these ties is not easy. You want your golf relationship to fade away, but at the same time you don't want to cause any hurt feelings. Being honest would bring disaster.

Can anyone think of a gentile and kind way to "break up" an unwanted golf relationship and still remain friends?

Gentile???? There's a different way if you're Jewish?

My experience has been that if you no longer enjoy each other's company on the course, then the break just seems to happen naturally. I've never had to actually "break" up. We just start playing with other people and at some point I realize that I am now with a new group. It's happened a couple of times... nothing acrimonious... we just became acquaintances instead of golfing buddies. We still might play together occasionally, but more as a matter of coincidence than planning.
