Pipe Smoking and Golfing

[TinCup]

Don’t you guys buggy/cart it round all the time (like me)

I smoke both pipe & cigar when playing, cigar will rest in the ’butt bucket’ in the buggy and I know which of my pipes bowls will fit nicely into one of the carts golf ball ‘wells’ without tipping or spilling in the cart so it just gets placed there when I get out to take a shot/putt etc, doddle and just relight as required
(I wish the challenges of the game were as easy to solve)

I don't understand how a pipe is more likely to burn out while playing golf, but not on a walk around the block. If it is THAT windy outside, playing golf is going to be a challenge anyways. you can set any pipe on the ground for a few minutes. It doesn't have to be a special sitter or anything. Laying sideways for long enough to swing won't hurt a thing. I don't use a golf cart, but they don't move very fast, not enough to really worry. But, I guess some guys freak out over the idea of driving a car with a pipe, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised at responses.

The wife and I have been kicking a soccer ball and playing frisbee in the backyard for exercise, and those seems to work just fine with a pipe. I guess it just depends on your skill level or something.

I use of of these with my cigars. Clip could hold a pipe too, I think.

Pipe while playing golf? Not a problem in the least, except: My problem is too many bowls per round. I cut down by smoking only after a very good shot. Sort of a reward.

I putt, chip, and short pitch with pipe clenched. No full shots though. In a bunker I stick it in a pocket for a half minute. Rest it in or on pull cart while driving or playing through the green.

And, yes, it there's a gale blowing, there'll be difficulty no matter where outside you may be.

Is each hole a mountain peak up there?

Haha, depends on the course. Palmer is dead flat wide open links, Anchorage is some awesome terrain where the ruff is is as far OB as you can go and still find a ball. Moose run courses are similar. No matter what course, you can count on one thing. Slow, furry, shitty greens.

The first time I played on a course in the lower 48 my first putt went off the green. They are that slow here.

Oh, and yeah, our sand traps are closer to gravel than sand.

That so cool!
