Default Smokers and golf

Let me be clear, I have nothing against people that smoke. Thank goodness we live in a free country. If folks choose to smoke that is their choice. What I want to discuss is good manners as it pertains to cigarette butts on the golf course. Today I played Briarwood and it seemed that everywhere I looked I saw cigarette butt's. In the sand traps, the fairways and the fringe's around the green's. If you have to smoke while playing golf, then your butt's are your responsibility. Bring an ashtray or ask a veteran to teach you how to field strip a butt. Smokers please, The Groundskeepers do a great job to give us beautiful courses to play on. It is extremely rude to litter them with your butts. "Well thats my story and I'm sticking to it"
