No offense to physically fit golf athletes, but really the sport can be played very well by the unathletic - not really what the Olympics is all about.  If you smoke a cigarette/cigar will playing or eating a cheeseburger, you really out to rule it out as an Olympic event.

Nobody does either of those things. NFL linemen are pretty big but they're athletic too. Besides, they're the exception, not the rule.

Not to mention sumo wrestlers, shotput/discus throwers, powerlifters/olympic lifters, etc.

And automatically classifying anybody who smokes cigars as "unathletic" is a bit of a stretch as well.
