Anybody Smoke a Pipe while Playing Golf?

[hoosierpipeguy]

I play a lot of golf and usually smoke 3 Cigars per round. Been wondering how a pipe might work. I'd probably use cobs as it is inevitable I'd lose and break some. I'm a bit concerned about wind, lighting and keeping the pipe lit and hot embers burning holes in my clothes.

Anybody here have any experience in these conditions? And any tips?

When I played I did. Use a wind cap when it's breezy or switch to a cigar or cigarettes.

Strictly cigars when I played.

Cigars for golf. Too many damn accessories already in the cart, but, I suppose a tee would work great as a tamper. Wind caps are good. Cheap and easy to lose. I use when mowing the lawn. Won’t be playing golf for some time, but cannot imagine taking a pipe along for the ride.

I was playing a good bit of golf last spring. I took a pipe once it worked fine. I would light i between holes and while others where teeing off. Maybe not the best if it was real windy.

Cigars as well, but never a pipe. This guy did…

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

I checked out the MM site, saw they have wind caps I'm going to order a few and give it a try.

Is partially economics. 3 $6 Cigars per round x 16 rounds per month = $288 per month . I figure pipe tobacco would cost me $30. I also enjoy a pipe more than cigars.

I'm going to give it a try, cheap enough experiment

All the time, including 4 bowls over 18 holes this morning. Never use a wind cap, do I.
I keep 6-10 pipes and a few ounces of tobacco in my golf bag.

I clench when I putt, chip or pitch, but never on a full swing. Easy.

The starter at my local Muni is always puffing a pipe at his cart.

Like the others have already said, it's usually cigars for me too; but once in a while I'll pack my Morgan Bones with something that's a little more of a Lat Bomb.

Honestly - that’s impressive. No way for me.

Alternatively, you could roll up some pipe tobacco in a papers… ?‍

Financially - makes perfect sense. I just cannot get through that many cigars in a round - I smoke too slow and play too fast.

I take the same pipes golfing with me that I take to work and smoke.

All of them deliver a great smoke despite being under $300.00 per pipe

Most rounds take 4 hours and is not something I control. If I had 3 clones and we played on a completely open course, it would take 2 1/2 hours. There is a group of 16 to 32 golfers I play with at the Club, $10 competitive game (not that competitive for $10 but keeps it interesting). We play everything down and putt out every single putt, so that slows things down a bit. All the more reason for me to enjoy a smoke in between shots.

 

[sallow]

No but I do when I fish.

 

[Grangerous]

I walk any course that I can. Perhaps one day using a cart while waiting for a slow group ahead.

 

[AlanH]

You can buy a new club every month with the savings ?

I get that for sure. Haha, sometimes I wouldn’t mind slowing down - but groups I play with are I intentional about times we play to avoid any and all course traffic. Charity and other outings I’m always in it for a 4-6 hour round.

Good luck with the pipe on the course - I hope it works out well for you.

I am very much looking forward to next spring to try out my new hobby while fishing. I historically smoked a cigar with a coffee while trolling for trout in the early morning but now that I’ve found pipes, I can’t wait to try It out. Already envisioning rigging up a pipe stand of some kind for a safe place to put it down should I catch a fish. Thinking I may add a cob or two to my collection for this purpose. Still not teeth clenching any of my pipes as I don’t want to ruin them.

As for golf, I too smoke cigars but will definitely be giving a pipe a try next summer.

I smoke a pipe when playing golf on occasion, but mostly cigars.
