Golf Manners
 

We recently played an executive course and one person in our foursome was a last minute cancel. They had a single join us as is expected.

The problem was this guy immediately lit a very stinky cigar. The scent sent my wife into an immediate nausea attack. She quit playing after a couple of holes and tried to keep her golf car away from the odor.

I think if you are a single being placed with a threesome it would be common courtesy to ask if any one would be offended or allergic to cigar smoke.

Be prepared to be told here how "sophisticated" and "fragrant" they are, and that you're the one who's lacking in manners for saying they stink. But many of us agree with you wholeheartedly.

Too bad she didn't barf on his shoes!! :clap2:

I hope I would have the courage to say the smell was bothering me and that I'm allergic......but I probably would have just turned around and left the course. Another example of a bully getting his/her way. So very rude.

How about this for the survey.....NO SMOKING, of ANY kind on the golf course!!

I usually try to engage my graciousness, but never when it comes to cigars. These borish cigar smokers are not unaware of how the rest of us hate them....they just don't respect us as much as we try to respect them. No more...the law is on our side.

This is an easy fix!!! Call The Village Ladies that are heavily armed with squirt guns and Super Soakers to take care of this problem.

Seriously, the rudeness and bad behavior this year is in epic proportions!!

i'm just guessing,but was he a renter? they sometimes forget to leave their bad manners and attitudes at home.

Blasted renters. No FROG would ever do anything like that.

BUT......did this stinky smoker keep the pace of play? ;)

Smoking on the Golf Courses !!!
 

Is smoking allowed on the golf courses? What do you do with the cigarette butts? This issue was not addressed at the Good Golf School held at Colony.

Actually, it was mentioned at the class I attended. The presenter said don't litter the course. Take your butts home with you. Pretty simple.

Smokers are supposed to take their butts home with them, but you'll see them littering the course - the cigarette butts not the smoker's butts.

I smoke maybe 1 cigar a week but not on the golf course. I think that cigars smell much better than cigarettes and I see lots of cigarette butts on the course but have never seen a cigar butt. Regardless, it outside and smokers already have enough restrictions.
