Read that in newspaper. Well, of all the ugly tobacco products i suppose snuff is among the least obnoxious, esp for the rest of the world.  I do wonder if he, like Bradley, is spitting on the green. Imagine, i big brown minty blob of tobacco juice next to your marker.  Perhaps Duffner is Swedish. Didn't the Swedes invent snuff because the winter weather was too cold to strike a match and light a cigarette?

But he's a champ golfer and has a #10+ wife so all is gud.

The fact that Dufner chews snuff is hardly a well kept secret.

Were you unaware of this, or are you asking something else?

Actually you are thinking of *snus* - which is a no-spit chewing tobacco in a pouch

I've read that he packs a fresh one at the tee box and always makes sure to ditch the lip before he reaches the green.  Of course you wouldn't see him spitting on the greens.

It gives you a bit of a buzz.  I dip when I play softball, but not golf.  Occassionally at a bachelor party or similar deal.

At the same time, I am disgusted by cigarettes.

But like cigars.

Go figure.

I can't play without a chew in........and I would never, ever consider chewing away from the course....

CBS happened to catch him spitting after he finished on one hole early on in (I believe) Saturday's broadcast. He was somewhat discrete, and off the green, but it was there for all to see.

He dips....hence the "Duf's Dips" fan club that was following him. I don't know if Jim Nantz was covering or he is just plain that stupid when he said the fan club was short for Dufner's Diplomats.

Haha that sounds like something Jim Nantz would say.  And 99% of America probably believed him.

Hahahaha. OK, seriously, WTF? Starting to think this alleged "Dufner" character may actually be an enormously elaborate piece of performance art ...

You just have to wonder about people sometimes.  I had (had being the operative word here) a good friend that got cancer inside his the mouth from tobacco use.  It ain't pretty what they do to you to try to remove the tumors and restore your health.   Dufner may be a great golfer but he is very stupid for using that stuff.  But it is America so I guess it is his right to be self destructive

Millions of people dip, smoke, and do other drugs knowing full well the possible consequences. Most will get away with it and not get cancer and a small percentage will suffer the worst of the consequences and everyone knows that. Being a former baseball player, seeing the dugout after a game was pretty terrible, being that I had to clean it up when it was my turn for that duty.  I had never seen a golfer dip but I'm not surprised that Dufner does.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
