When I smoke cigars on the course I set them on the tee markers when I'm hitting or leave it in the cart. I don't toss it down just because I don't want to relight it

I have a cigar holder on my bag, so no need for that often, although sometimes I'll just toss it on the grass, no problems with that at all, but I think the best way to roll is to just keep that Toro Grande in my mouth on the tee, it's kind of money to stripe one George Burns style.

I use one of these when I golf and play softball.

Really convenient and it clips pretty much anywhere.


My brother and I each have one of these and they work great!  Before I picked this up, I used to put mine on the floor of the cart.  But if it's windy, they would blow away and fall on the ground.  The clip is very sturdy and keeps it lit pretty well.

Don't generally smoke cigars on the course, but I'll leave my cigarette in my mouth. Maybe its as much a commentary on my golf swing as anything, but this has never really caused my a problem.

Knowing the crap my courses put on the tee boxes, I'd probably avoid putting a live one on the floor.

I don't want you all thinking the wrong thing about my question. I like cigars. I just have never blazed one while playing bad golf in hot Texas.

I'm not the most germ conscious person but I was shocked seeing him put it in his mouth right off the ground.

Ya I've done this and several of my friends who smoke cigs just throw them on the grass and pick them back up, my one buddy puts the ground end of tees in his mouth after taking it out of the ground (i think that's a little odd) but ya its no biggie theirs plenty of germs everywhere you shouldn't really mind unless your Howard Hughes. Plus I don't know how you clean your ball on the green but usually I just lick my thumb and clean the ball which probably has more germs on it, germs are everywhere its just a part of life.

I always think my friends will burn their shirt when swinging with a cig in their mouth, but they never do.

This evening, I discovered a good method of keeping it off the ground. All you other cigar smokers can thank me later:

    • If you still have that code available, I would love to get a copy. We have PowerShell code that pulls indexes and individual 9-hole handicaps for the tee sets of the course we play. We have 40 players and use this data for skins. We do skins by flight which we have 4 of them A,B,C,D and without pulling this data it would be almost impossible to do in the application. Right now, we also grab each "card" as it comes off the course and put it into a spreadsheet to help us understand who won the round and helps us with skins. Each golfer is required to enter their own scores in GHIN also. Our goal is to have each golfer enter in the scores in GHIN but pull the individual hole scores down each week after the round is posted so that we can figure skins, and points. I found a site for APIs, but it is old referencing https://api.ghin.com/api/v1. Our current code uses https://api2.ghin.com/api/v1. I tried using that along with what was provided in the old doc, but it appears many of the API signatures changed. I'm hoping I can use the python code to get examples of the API calls I need. if nothing else I could recode ours to use python.
    • This is pretty interesting. I don't have a Stack radar so I can't use the app, but given what they say it should be fairly easy to come up with some kind of proxy to it if I spend an hour with a trackman. Just note what ball speed gives what distances and plot it. It's presumably not directly linear, but if you hit 50 shots between 30 and 100 yards, you'll have enough to pin down most yardages in that window (yards vs ball speed). Then rather than trying to match distances, just try to match ball speeds with whatever radar you do have. The whole strokes gained thing would be more difficult, but that's not really necessary to work on it. Or just buy a Stack radar...
    • I don't think that is what the study was showing. It just showed that golfers who spent less time over the ball performed better. It didn't say pending their normal pace.
    • No…? When we edit the title of topics, a little note appears.
    • Rush or delay your own pace and you are probably going to suffer in the long run. PGA pro are well oiled machines that work on an specific pace, it's not surprise that if you move them out of their normal routine things are going to go sideways. I normally don't rush shots, but I sometimes delay the trigger if I'm not feeling it. The result is a lack of athleticism, I kind of get a little stiff and I could loose some yards and accuracy.
