Maybe you should’ve asked the couple at the start if it was okay if you could smoke cigars with them and then let the pair play on without you. Save yourself the drama.
Interesting Cigar Day Playing Golf Yesterday
- Thread starter hoosierpipeguy
- Start date
People don’t understand physics. If you are 20 foot away, the smoke will spread over 2500 cubic foot and therefore it is 1/2500 th of what someone would get if he was next to you. Since there was a breeze, it will be even less than that.
However it only takes a few parts per million to trigger ones sense of smell. Therefore he was smelling your cigar.
He was not getting bothered by smoke. He was smelling your cigar, and making a psychological association.
I would never explain psychology or physics to a total stranger (Unless in an Internet forum) so if I was in your place, I would just play with someone else.

I think that you were both respectful to each other is telling. Great story.
Damn people just complain to hear themselves talk. Why don't we get together and talk a little rebellion.
Honestly, I think it worked out better for you in the long run.
Having never played golf, it seems like one of those activities where one would expect to see a lot of cigar smoking.

I can't help but wonder if you played with my old man?

Yeah yeah, but what did you shoot??? And did you take any money from the guy?

Are you saying your Mother has a nice ass?
It worked out fine for each of us.
I shot an 83 from the Whites. It was a very, very challenging course but pretty and lots of fun as well. Wasn't any wagers.
If they got certain sensitivities the little wisps will effect them. Including allergies. And man when I had covid I couldn't even smoke a pipe because the second hand smoke was too much. My point is it's totally possible that the miniscule wisps could effect some individuals pretty severely.
It is possible. I smoked 5 or 6 bowls all through, my bout with Covid but everyone is different. It never got unpleasant and in fact, the remainder of our exchanges were pleasant. All that matters is he felt like it was bothersome and he politely asked me to go ahead. I had no issue with it. There's obviously lots of ways he could have been an A hole about it and he wasn't.
it actually surprises me how rare any "encounters" are. Isn't also amazing how much would be easier if people could manage being polite about it. You know for example how asking someone nicely to do or not do something seems more likely to actually work.
I play 2 or 3 rounds of golf every week. Being relatively new here, to date, I always go out by myself and am paired up with another 1 to 3 players. Including last winter when I was here, I've been very fortunate to have this be the first negative encounter of any kind. Obviously, this was very, very minor and never came close to any harsh or rude words being exchanged. The vast majority of people I've played with have proven to be very nice and enjoyable people to be around. In addition to never having to coordinate with anyone else's schedule when arranging a tee time, playing by myself presents the opportunity to meet a large variety of people and make new friends. I find most golfers are a lot like cigar and pipe smokers, generally very nice folks who enjoy life and making friends.
you must have very different golfers then many of the ones around here. It seems like most of the golfers here woke up on the wrong side of the bed. They also give me the impression that golf for them is about finding something to stress out about. You know the kind of people that break their expensive new club after messing up a shot.
That is awesome. Golf sounds like it could be a lot of fun to do especially if the people you do it with are nice. And seriously anything that gives you an excuse to be outside and smoking a decent cigar can't be all bad.
Of course, but you can't just come out and say something like that on here! This is a class joint...
I think the difference is here in FL, I'm mostly playing with older folks whose testosterone had diminished and have come to grips we're not going to compete for The Masters. I'm here in FL where it is warm, I'm out having fun and enjoying some cigars. I've finally reached a point in life where a double bogey here and there isn't going to diminish my disposition in a negative manner.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm liable to say about anything on here. I trust the vast majority of people here understand I am not saying it with any malice or ill intent but rather, find the humor intended.
