Cigars & Golfing

[colinb913]

Well, I am going out golfing this weekend, sadly flying solo, as my buddy that I usually go with is very busy. Any ways, do you guys take a stogie on the course? What do you do with it when teeing off and shooting? Any thing else I need to know?

Around of golf with out a stogie is a sad round indeed.

I always bring at least two. I have a cigar clip that I clip onto the cart or I will just set it on the cart.

here's a thread for one of BOTLs that sells some clips.

I have never golfed alone, or with a stogie, so this is going to be a double whammy for me.

[Mpython24]

This is a good question man. I would probably smoke something small. I tried golfing with a big ol' smoke once, didn't turn out too well. The whole hold in your mouth and make a good shot just doesn't work out. That has been my experience. If push comes to shove you can always rest it on the cart somewhere. It is not ideal but ya gotta do what you gotta do. Anyway, enjoy your smoke and your day on the links!

[colinb913]

I was thinking about devouring the Diesel as it is just about ready to smoke.

[Razorhog]

I use a holder called the cigar minder (http://www.cigarsinternational.com/proddisp.asp?item=M-44824-2). It is great!

That does look like something I will pick up, but I doubt I can get it here by saturday at 8 am.

I would never take A stogie on the course with me !
I usually take at least 15.

And look into a cigar clip for the cart/bag.:tu
http://www.coronacigar.com/products/cigar-minder-cigar-clip.html

There are a ton of places to get them, this was just at the top of a Google search.

[colinb913]

The clip is going to definitely be a must have. Especially for the coming summer.

[St. Lou Stu]

Damn, you're not too far from me.
A golf outing on 64 between here and there may be in order when it does warm up!

[Kreth]

If you're taking a cart, the clip on the windshield makes a great field-expedient cigar rest.

I used to say screw the scorecard and use the steering wheel clip too!

Who cares about strokes, greens hit and fairways anyway when you're enjoying a good stick?

[colinb913]

St. Lou Stu, count me in! So the cigar clip is a much needed buy eh?

Does a bear **** in the woods?:D

[colinb913]

I will take that as a rhetorical question, and just for the record, the Charmin Bears on TV **** in a field with one or two trees, not the woods.

[Cigary]

Cigar holder for sure and I smoke Churchills as it's a long walk between shots sometimes. I take the gar out and put it in the holder, hit it and do it all over again. I won't golf without a cigar or beer for that matter.

[CigarNut]

I have a clip that I use and I usally have a Gran Habano Corojo #5 -- nice stick that will usually last me 9 holes. It also has a nice thick wrapper that can take some (little) abuse from taking it in and out of my clop.

[colinb913]

Beer is still a bit of a far off legal drink for this youngin. What is a good stick(s) that will last me 18 holes? I am taking my diesel for sure any other recommendations?

[Beer Doctor]

I smoke a cigar every time I golf whether it's playing the twilight special by myself or with a foursome. I usually walk when I play and I don't have a cigar clip. When I'm about to make a shot I just throw the cigar on the ground. I'm usually in the rough so it has some cushion:D If I'm actually on the fairway I'll just lightly throw it on the ground. I don't take great cigars on the course with me because I'm not really concentrating on them. If you don't have a cigar clip don't worry. You'll be fine. BTW I'm REALLY jealous that you're golfing. I can't wait...

[colinb913]

Ha, I am finally of age to drive a cart at my local links, so I can't wait to get to drive and not have to walk em.

[jlaker]

Take what you like. I know it is a vague suggestion, but I mean it. I normally take two or three. I'll take a few corona gordas and a robusto or a churchill and a mix of things. If I want to relax after the round, I still have a smoke to enjoy.

[colinb913]

Alright, sounds like a diesel, and maybe a man o war.

[Razorhog]

Try to take cigars that don't damage easily - I use the clip but sometimes forget I have the stogie and end up tossing it on the ground like Marcus. I've tried leaving it in my mouth and ended up getting ashes all over my left shoulder :ss

[bvilchez]

I've only gone 2x and both times had a smoke with me. It was actually the first thing I packed.

[SmokeyJoe]

I use one of these on the course...

http://www.holeinonecigarholder.com/

Can slip it into one of the holes for a tee in the cart, or slip it out and stick it in the turf. Use it all the time...

[fuente~fuente]

I used to take decent sticks to the course, but I'm done with that.:td

They smoke like ****, you have to relight it 70 times, you leave it on the last hole, your buddy runs it the F over with the cart, etc...

So I take things like Flor de Oliva's, Perdomo Fresco's, & Don Tomas.:D

[jdakine]

Cigars on the course are a must. I like a big stick for the course about med body. As for the clip, they are nice to have, but I just place it near my ball a swing away:tu

In most cases the golf course will pair you up with someone anyway, so you may not be alone. A bad day of golf is better than any day of work.

Ditto on all accounts. Just lay that sumbich down and hit your shot. I smoke tons of great cigars but never on the course. You should be concentrating on your game enough that the cigar is almost an afterthought so smoke your cheaper cigars during and your good stuff afterwards.

[GreekGodX]

We got some prissy men out there :r I'm with everyone on throw it on the ground, hit your shot and move on.

Perdoma "Golf" Is One Of My Favorites! Fairly Inexpensive & Seem To Stay Lit & Take Abuse Well On The Course!:tu P.S. Definitely Buy A "Clip"!:2

[tenbaseg]

Cigar minder.

I never golf without a smoke. It would just seem weird.

[ade06]

I always smoke cigars on the golf course. I tend to bring large cheap ones so they last I'm not worried about wasting money on a great cigar. Regarding holders, I use this one http://heaterholder.com/. Before that I would lay it on the seat of the cart or when around the greens/fairways, I would rest the cigar on the extra club (e.g. wedge on the putting green) lit end down, so that the mouth part of the cigar doesn't contact the grass. Golf courses use too many pesticides to be licking on the grass. Just my opinion.

[maninblack]

I don't know if I'd take the MOW. It might make you a little loopy and throw your shots off.

[rizzle]

Always bring cigars, and I lay them on the ground to hit. I"m a man, dammit.
:r

[Kreth]

I'm gonna use that the next time I shank one: "Nicotine threw my timing off." :r

I play alone most of the time and have at least 4 cigars on the course during a round. I just use the cart or the ground to hold the cigar. I find if I concentrate on the cigar I play better because I don't overthink my game.

[thebiglebowski]

i didn't know it was possible to golf without a cigar... ?

4?! Do you smoke PCs on the course?

Sometimes. I'll smoke whatever strikes my fancy and alot of the time I experiment with new cigars. Afterall, it is a job requirement. lol

I don't baby a cigar. I smoke a robusto in about 30 min, toro in 40.

[ucla695]

I usually rest mine on the floor of the cart with the ash hanging over the edge. The key is to remember to pick it up after a shot. :ss

[BigCat]

I was going to say it if he didn't :D

[Kreth]

I thought I smoked fast, when I read some reviews where the reviewer takes 2 hours to smoke a toro. I usually smoke a toro or similar size (glorioso, torpedo) on the course, and I can usually get in 2 smokes over 18 holes when I walk it. I get around pretty quick playing by myself, around 2-2 1/2 hours.

looks like ill be walking this time instead.

[Ted Nasty]

The top two tools on this link are always with me on the course. The cigar minder and divot tool. I highly recommend both. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cigaraccessories.com/images/fk325.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.cigaraccessories.com/cigar-tools-gifts-c-53.html&usg=__D0nFMCDTk6XQbQpsM_CVXXkBZtM=&h=180&w=350&sz=17&hl=en&start=25&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=4Ws3Ad5mNOY96M:&tbnh=62&tbnw=120&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcigar%2Bdivot%2Btool%26start%3D20%26u m%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26ndsp%3D20%26tbs%3Disch: 1

[Mugen910]

I always bring 5 churchill sized cigars, 3 cigar clips, and 2 lighter to the course. If I get paired up with a stranger who would like a cigar then I take the band off to avoid the "Where did you get this cigar" question.

It's about the only thing on the course I can prepare for...The game itself screws with me big time! :r

[skibumdc]

I do usually smoke on the course, but nothing special. I can't concentrate on either too much or the other suffers.

[elderboy02]

I just lay the cigar on the ground.

say... where DID you get this cigar?! ;)

[CigarNut]

I have always heard bad things about setting a cigar on the grass (fairway, rough or otherwise) so I always set my cigar in some kind of holder while playing. And, I always have a cigar while golfing (well, actually 2 or 3 :)).

[Mugen910]

all my cigar sources are in my signature.

[thebiglebowski]

that's marvelous.

[colinb913]

So, since I am going alone, chances are I will wind up getting paired with someone. What is a good smoke to take for someone who you know nothing about? I am guessing something light, and not harsh.. Uhm.. How about Nub Cameroon?

You are assuming that they smoke. Just bring a couple of extras of what you're smoking. If you offer and they accept, I'm sure that they will be happy with whatever you're enjoying.

You don't have to offer him a damn thing...My golden rule is that I wouldn't give anyone anything I wouldn't smoke myself.

[colinb913]

Alright, sounds cool. Should I just come right out and say "You don't mind, do you?" Before I light up?

[Mugen910]

I actually prefer the "Would you like one" and if they say "No" I just light up.

If I use your approach and they say "Yes I mind" they will be very upset that I continue to light up anyways :D

I'm sure you have common sense..just use it.

[colinb913]

Alright, I just didn't want to offend anyone. :p

[ade06]

Alright, sounds cool. Should I just come right out and say "You don't mind, do you?" Before I light up?

Hell no... Not to be an arse, but I generally light up before the first tee so if anyone has a problem, they can ride in the other cart. If you're walking, I definitely wouldn't ask. Cigar smoking on the golf course has never been an issue (unless you play public courses in CA, from what I've read even M.J. can't light up). Good luck, just use your common sense and have fun. :ss

[colinb913]

Well I am guessing since I am a one man team she is going to pair me with another one man team. So I figured we would be in one cart.

[Mugen910]

Alright, I just didn't want to offend anyone. :p

You worry too much about offending people...keep in mind someone will always find a reason to get offended if they try.

Alright alright, less worry about others feelings. ;) Gotcha

[colinb913]

Here (http://quailcrossing.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=17&Itemid=3) is where I will be tomorrow at 11:15.

[St. Lou Stu]

Thats nice!
I need to move out to BFE where golf is cheap!

[colinb913]

Quail isn't too painful.. I think it's like 17 for 9 holes, depending if I walk it. I am walking tomorrow though.. Unless I get paired.

[St. Lou Stu]

lol... you are a whippersnapper.
I never walk, it's too hard to carry a humi and a case of beer along with the clubs.

Unless Bao is carrying my clubs, then I'll walk! ;)
Thanks Again!

[colinb913]

Yeah, well I think I will just take a zip-loc and a humi care bag tomorrow to hold my sticks, and as for the drink, too young to legally have beer.. Well sticks too for that matter. Shh..

[thebiglebowski]

no snow on the ground in your neck of the woods, colin?

[colinb913]

Nothing, we have had 3 55*+ days in a row, and this weekend should be getting warmer!

[colinb913]

Well, I shot an 80. That is 8 over par for the course. Not too shabby for my first time out.

****, I just bought 86 cigars, an my 100 ct humidor is 1/4 full.. :/ No way will I fit the newbies in... Coolidor here I come.

[muhren]

I use a holder called the cigar minder (http://www.cigarsinternational.com/proddisp.asp?item=M-44824-2). It is great!

This is what I use as well. Keeps the gar from blowing away if left in the cart.

[colinb913]

They actually had a little tray that had fingers coming out of the top, i don't know what they are used for, golf balls maybe, but they held a gar perfectly.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.....you shot an 80 the first time you played? You sure about that? I mean, I was born at night, but not last night.

I think he meant first time out for the season. Having grown up in Indiana, I can assure you we can't play play golf year round, like you lucky bastages in Florida.:r

[gvarsity]

http://www.jplann.com/ccp0-prodshow/32192.html

I use one of these clips. Works great. In a pinch I have no problem putting my cigar on the grass but they use so much pesticide and other chemicals on golf courses I prefer not to if I don't have to. If that makes me less of a man I guess I'll have to turn in my man card. :cb

I usually take 4-6 cigars with me and usually smoke 1-2 a nine depending on how fast the round is moving. My weekly golf league is plagued with slow play so I have on occasion been on my third cigar at the end of nine. I'm not a particularly fast smoker. Sad I know.

[colinb913]

haha, yes I meant first time this season.. haha
