I don't know if that is an excuse for the slobs. I once saw someone in a parking lot take the ashtray out of the car & dump all the butts onto the asphalt of the parking lot, then put his nice empty ashtray back into the car & drive off, leaving a pile of butts behind.

Probably the same nefarious turds that throw wrappers, bottles, cups and whatever else out along the MMP’s and roadways. Hate to see
what their home looks like.

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.

I DON'T CARE!!!!! Pick them up!!!!!

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.

Nice post...

As a dog owner I always "take home" my dog's "leftovers" as you said "bio-degradable" or not.

I do not put them in my pants though. LOL. You are severely more committed to recyling than my wife and I are!

Kudos to you for being a responsible smoker...

Don't you hate it when irresponsible others leave us with a bad (though somewhat deserved..) reputation?

It’s a nasty habit, but of all the things golfers do to disrespect the courses, it’s not on the top of the list. Putting through non fixed ball marks, sun flower seed shells, pistachio nut shells, and people that drag their golf shoes across the greens are a few examples of even worse offenders. Eventually, the nasty habit might very well catch up with them in a very unenviable way. Golf on : )

Been here about three times as long..........seen a few of each, not a big problem.
Much better here in TV than the rest of the USA. :eclipsee_gold_cup:

Like Top said, bigger issues are racking, spikes, ball marks, slow play, etc.

I don't think one issue is any bigger than another. Trash is trash and if you brought it you should take it with you. If you make ball marks, walk in the sand trap, etc, fix it. If you have no respect for the course, at least show a little self respect and clean up your mess.
