maalouly Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Every second Sunday Fuzz and myself get together for a round of golf, the last two the gods have been on his side though not for long! The 1st two holes before we fired up our cigars I was playing really well, got to the 3rd hole and Fuzz generously gave me a Monte sublime EL 2008 and it was awesome, still too young and needs at least another 5 years but you can tell it has great potential. Now the second I started smoking my cigar, my game went down hill, well not really just my luck turned! missing shots, ball rolling on the green incorrectly, missing stupid putts when I should have got them in easily, I have to blame someone and I am blaming the cigar. My question us do you usually smoke while playing golf? (I like to smoke a light to medium cigar, the one Fuzz gave me was freaking heavy and nearly made me faint.) Do you also have few beers? I find that if I have few beers while playing it relaxes me and I play better, Fuzz doesn't seem to agree.
bacalao Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Always bring along 2-3 smokes to the golf course but never CC. The beer drinking there is always a magic number around beer # 7 the golf game gets a little sloppy. Currently a 7 handicap but what ruins my game the most is thinking about my score.

Woahhhhh 7?!!!!! We'll get there one day.
Wil Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Nope. Golf is hard enough without worrying about a cigar!

The beer drinking there is always a magic number around beer # 7 the golf game gets a little sloppy. Currently a 7 handicap but what ruins my game the most is thinking about my score. is it a 7 handicap in the conventional sense, or a handicap from the 7th beer onwards? drinking helps for a short period of time before i get dehydrated and woozy and fall apart. i agree that complex/interesting cigars should be banned from the golf course ... either i enjoy the flavour or the golf but can't really do both. but on the rare occasion i play golf i Always smoke cigars. like to sit down after a few holes to enjoy the cigar and coffee or [insert alcohol here] better (so avoid busy golf courses or just let people through!). chipping and putting is easier with a churchill in your mouth than a short robusto by the way... unless you have goggles. FOUR!
chr0nic Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I'm a casual player... don't know much about handicaps or play in private clubs etc. but I love a cigar while I play and, in fact, it makes me play better. I find I don't concentrate to hard on the little stuff and perhaps the 'enjoyment' improves my game. I've only been playing for around 4 years and have only won 4 times (that I can recall) and at least two of these times I was smoking a cigar. Going out again this Sunday, I'm thinking BHK52 :)
Fuzz Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 It was all part of my evil plan! With your head spinning, the game was all mine!! Now I just have to figure out which cigar to give you next time to throw your game? I wonder if I can get my hands on a Guantanamera Cristale?
lostsoulcamero Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Yes always smoke nc on the course got to burn them sometime. If I'm playing for money no alcohol otherwise just a few
MoneyPit Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I always bring cigars for the back 9 if I'm playing with a group that will appreciate the generosity. I used to be pretty serious about my game but now I just enjoy the opportunities to get out on the course. I do agree that it does negatively affect my score as I tend not to care as much once lighting up. Hit 'em straight boys!
gersonmorelli Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 As far as booze goes I think my performance changes as a bell curve. It peaks at about three glasses (usually drink scotch), after that is all downhill. As far as cigar goes, don't usually smoke them on the course as I tend to concentrate more on the cigar than on the game!
Fuzz Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 One of these days I'm going to have to get one of those cigar holder thingamebobs. I can't swing of putt with the damn cigar in my mouth, and as Elie learnt, you can make an ash of yourself.
orangedog Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Depending upon who I am golfing with, I have a cigar. No restrictions on type. I don't get paid to play so as long as I have fun and hit the ball well, I'm good. I've found a cigar doesn't interfere with that.
dicko Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I actually haven't partaken in a cigar on the course(yet!!) I did however hit all my fairways yesterday and did a 305m drive!! ok so the rest of my game wasnt great though (bad in fact)

cigarsnlife Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I love to smoke whilst playing! partagas D4 would def be my go too golfing cigar. As far as drinking goes, well i usually find a couple of quick nips of a scotch or port are great to calm things down but anything more and my putting goes to hell (and its not great to begin with )
Fuzz Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 was that a 305 straight? or a Fuzz's 305? Okay, sure it travelled 150m down the fairway and an equal distance to the right across another fairway , but it is still a long drive!! At least my shots sliced after going down the fairway, not right off the tee!! Bloody lucky I always stand behind you!!
maalouly Posted April 2, 2012 Author Posted April 2, 2012 At least my shots sliced after going down the fairway, not right off the tee!! Bloody lucky I always stand behind you!! That was a one off and it had started to rain and I was standing on an angle!
Fuzz Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 That was a one off and it had started to rain and I was standing on an angle! One-off? You hit 2 balls in the exact same direction and they both nearly hit the same tree!!
maalouly Posted April 2, 2012 Author Posted April 2, 2012 One-off? You hit 2 balls in the exact same direction and they both nearly hit the same tree!! That's still considered a one off, at least I didn't nearly kill someone
Tyemv Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Give him a young R&J Cazadores... Magnus That will give any man chest hair.
Fuzz Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Ah, young Cazadores or PLPCs. Love those powerhouses. Elie, if I can convince Jase to turn up, I think I'll pick up a Partagas Culebras just for the heck of it!
khamy Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 the beers, the cigars sounds fantastic, the golf however sounds to good for your health.
cigaraholic Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I always take a couple of DC's, one for the front and one for the back. I like to start with a Hoyo then finish with a Punch or RA. I always put it down to hit a shot or putt.
jacktarnold Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I have to say that I don't mind smoking while I play but I usually tend to care more about enjoying my cigar and not my game and thus my score goes down the crapper.
maalouly Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 I always put it down to hit a shot or putt. Yes learn that the hard way ... ashed all over myself while teeing off.
