YJ, i wasn't saying my good shot affected my partners shot. I was the 4th party to join this game. They were all TM"S and knew each other. When my drive on nbr 1 at BPB went 320 around the dog leg dead center of fairway. one of the opposing players chatted that this would be a short game. My partner said don't worry, and called an opponent by his real first name. My p's next shot went over the green into deep rough. This went on hole after hole with me scrambling like crazy just to hold on. When I made a very unexpected 58 footer for birdie, my partner, rather than saying great putt or whatever, said sorry guys wow, the opponents said nothing. When it was my next shot, I chatted thanks a bunch guys and forfeited the match. See my reasoning now?
