Do you dip?

[J.J.]

Does anyone on here dip? I've been dippin Copenhagen since I was 14 (18 now). I quit a little over a month ago then the weather got nice enough to start playin golf again. I cannot play golf without dip. I made it about 7 holes before I bummed a pinch of a guy I was playing with. I don't know if I've just grown accustomed to it during sports or what, but I am perfectly fine without it unless I'm playing golf.

What about everyone else?

I smoke a ton when I play

[House Hitter]

I smoke, but I don't dip.

I started dipping when I was 15 and quite cold turkey when I was 28. That being said, I always keep a can in my bag because I enjoy having a pinch of snuff while playing.

On a side note, I don't know how anybody can smoke a cigar while playing. I've tried it and it's too much work!

cigars are for after, not during in my opinion.

Always have a cigar while I play. It's great if I am riding and somebody else is driving, also great if it is a slow day!

I've smoke them while riding in the cart or walking between holes but I was referring to actually keeping the cigar in your mouth while swinging. I just can't do it.

I dip sometimes when I'm on the course, but I can't always get it since I'm not old enough to buy it myself.

Just curious, when dipping and playing - where do you spit - fairway, rough, fringe or greens?

[Johnnyallthetime]

as a dental student, dippinng is worse than smoking as it leads to an extremely high prevalence to oral cancer, gum disease, and thus loss of teeth. not only that, it's disgusting when people spit their chew everywhere on the course.

No I agree with that, I have tried it and usually end up burnign my self or dropping it or worse hitting a bad shot because I was more focused on the cigar.

Insert witty Bill Clinton joke here.

As far as spitting on the course, I spit when I need to although I won't spit on the greens. And I never throw my used/old dip on the ground. Always into a trash can or an empty bottle/can.

quick question guys, whats the appeal of dipping over smoking?

[keykenny]

I used to dip and smoke cigars but once I started getting more physically active and trying to live a healthier life style I stopped. Granted, I still want a lip-full once in a while but oh well.

[gr8hntr]

i dip.. nothing like a big ol fat dip when deer hunting
and im sure i'll dip when i play golf but havent played yet


its funny ur dentist says smoking is better cause he loves teeth
and your dr. will tell ya dipping is better cause he loves lungs
i did both for many years and feel alot better after i quit smoking
i figured i could live without a lip but couldnt live without my lungs

I don't dip but imagine the whole course becomes your own personal spitter doesn't it?

[The Bogey Man]

I do not dip, tried it, hated it... I have a couple friends who do it while we play, it doesn't bother me but I do think it is quite gross imo.

On the other hand, I do have plenty of friends who smoke "the mary jane", I don't get how it can be enjoyable while playing golf. My good friend claims it actually helps him at times with being more relaxed, easier swings... and he is about a 5 handicap.

MJ makes me too tired to play.
