I don't smoke, but at least I can see the appeal of lighting up the occasional cigar. It doesn't bother me when my playing partner smokes, so long as I'm not standing downwind from him. If the breeze does start to kick it up into my face, I'll create some distance between us.

I try not to leave my cig butts on the fairways and never on the greens. I must admit, I do leave it on the green when putting before I flick it "out of sight." I keep forgetting to buy a compact ashtray with a flip lid for the course. After reading this thread, I put it on my buy list. The golf course is one of my favorite places in the world, so out of respect I'll put one in my golf bag and use it for disposal. Thanks for the topic 913. (b.t.w. I love the smell of cigars in the morning, smells like victory, lol).

I'm not naming names (rhymes with floorputt), but does it hurt when you swing a club with that stick up your ass?

He asked, I gave my opinion... got a problem with that smartass?

I don't mind it at all. 95% of the people that go to my home course smoke, My father and uncles smoke, so I'm used to it. Doesn't phase me.

I don't mind if others smoke as long as they clean up after themselves and are considerate.

I quit all forms of tobacco over 20 years ago cold turkey. I would still enjoy an occasional Vantage menthol or a good cigar, but just don't because I don't want to pick up the habit again. I don't allow smoking in my home or my car. I don't really mind the smell of freshly burning tobacco, but hate the day after stale smell. So an occasional whiff from someone else on the course doesn't bother me.

well said, and yes I have a problem with your apparent attitude fourputt.

I have no problem with anyone smoking ANYTHING any time any place. (I do not smoke cigarettes but keep ashtrays around my house for friends that do.) BTW dirty ashtrays smell bad, not smoke.

well said, and yes I have a problem with you attitude fourputt, you allow no room for the opinions of others and that is selfish and childish. If you do not like smokers... run away.

Did I tell you that you can't have an opinion???? All I did was state MY opinion.

I didn't try to tell you that you can't smoke... go ahead and commit suicide if you like. I won't lose any sleep over it. Just stay out of my face and out of my air while you do it.

I'm an ex smoker and I wish I could smoke cigars. I am just terrified of becoming a smoker again so I dont. I actually like the smell of cigarettes, cigars, and anything you can smoke. I could care less if you smoke or not on the course. Just be respectful of others and the course.

That's the crux of it in a nutshell, being respectful of others. That goes both ways. Smokers should really be careful about their debris, and non-smokers should realize it's not the end of the world if they occasionally get a whiff of cigar smoke.

Just be respectful of others and the course.

Got to disagree with you here. I love cigars but HATE the morning after smell. Especially the taste in your mouth. BAD!!!!!

I don't care if another person smokes as long as I have don't have to inhale it and as long as they don't leave their trash laying around, etc. I'm sure there are people who may frown on my chewing tobacco but I don't spit it where anyone walks and I don't force anyone else to deal with it.

It gets on my nerves when someone comes up beside me on the tee box huffing their cigar and I have to breathe it. They could leave the thing in their own cart for 2 min or stand down wind at least. I'm sure you are responsible, but I can't stand to see someone throw a cigarette or cigar on the ground and just leave it. Someone burnt 1/2 of the fairway on the 9th hole at my home course last year by throwing a cigarette down like that.

I think there's a separate thread for this topic, but exactly where would that be - the place on the course where nobody walks?

Very well said.....everybody show a little tolerance, watch out for each other, and it will all work out....

If people are crowding you on the tee, they have bigger issues than cigar smoke.

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
