Cigarette and cigar butts being left on golf courses.
 
If you have to smoke, clean up your cigarette and cigar butts, don’t leave them on the golf courses. I’m sure those people that do that are the same ones that flip them out of their cars too. It’s litter and is very unsightly.

Cigarettes, yes.

Cigars, maybe.

It sounds funny & maybe gross, but most cigars are all natural...all leaf
vs.
Cig's with paper, filters, etc.

"Though you may not know it, basically all cigars are –– in fact –– biodegradable! That's because cigars are comprised entirely of natural materials, i.e., tobacco leaves bundled together. This is different than cigarettes and other tobacco products, most of which are wrapped in a non-biodegradable substance like paper.Apr 25, 2023"

Both unsightly.

This is more a statement on ignorance than smoking. I've been around hospital campuses, as an example, most of which have no smoking policies anywhere on property. Yet you go by an employee entrance and you see tons of cigarette butts scattered around the landscape. Not to pick on tobacco users but ignorance isn't confined to their membership. Anywhere USA you'll find nips lining the roadside along with Poland Spring water bottles etc. There's no one segment of society that fears the practice. Because archaic ordinances are...ding ding ding, never enforced. Again, I'm no tree hugger but that kind of blind disrespect to neighbors and communities in general....makes me long for the Singapore model of....caning!

Mine all go into the left rear pocket of my pants/shorts.

If anyone would like to see my washing machine lint filter for proof and verification, I'm more than happy to provide a photo.

There's no excuse, bio-degradable or not.

Must be too young, most of older can’t see them. While on subject of golfers Don’t throw little liquor bottles or beer cans out on MMP it’s unsightly. :D

CTACK! A perfect hit. Your ball is flying farther than ever before. Straight for the pin. One long bounce onto the green and rolling straight for the hole! You are going to ace a par four hole. Everyone in your group is cheering! Then your ball hits a still smoldering stogie and your ball stops. The idiot who left the cigar button is still there. You have your gun which you carry in case of a gator attack.
Go ahead. You know you want to. Just drag the body into the tall bushes next to the gator pond. And fix the divot where he fell. 😙🤫😇

Both unsightly.

So are french fries, half eaten burgers, paper bags, cardboard boxes and yard trash.

There are some on here that have an unhealthy obsession with errant golf balls, firearms and dog poop.
