Smokers

Yeah disc golf is an outdoor event.

Ever notice smokers on the course?

Most pick up their cigarette butts.

Some do not care....

Know of friends and family that have died from it.

i.e. Patrick Swayze died from pancreas disease, from smoking cigarettes.

How do you get through to a smoker?

Will they sue the cigarette companies because they can't quit?

Will an 'iron lung' be PDGA approved for play?

Why did they start?

Open for comments...

This is a call for health, not attacks on those that don't smoke or smoke.

I no longer smoke weed, but there is an argument on both sides that it is a part of the sport. Disc instructions: First, use it for it's intended purpose. Second, turn it over and throw it ;o))

Have a little respect for those who don't smoke. I'm a Cigar smoker , so I know of this first hand.

I'm glad that I quit, been over a month since I've done so. I once smoked for 6 years, then quit for 5 years, then started smoking again for just over 3 years. I think this is my last time though. I can't stand the smell and taste and it is even more obvious how bad it is now that I've quit. I've noticed a difference in my energy after playing golf all day, plus things taste and smell better. For those that do smoke, DON'T THROW THEM ON THE GROUND at the course, pack it in...pack it out. Those that are still trying to quit, keep trying it is worth it and you all already know that...best of luck to you as we all know it is difficult to do so.

PDGA Sanctioned Event !!!!

Rules :

3.3 Professional Misconduct

A. The PDGA adopts a strict policy of appropriate behavior and comments to the media. Any conduct deemed to be unprofessional is subject to disqualification by the Tournament Director, and may also be subject to suspension from PDGA events.

B. Players are expected to behave in a professional and sportsmanlike manner while participating in a PDGA sanctioned event. Actions that are in violation of this conduct include but are not limited to:

• Loud cursing
• Throwing items in anger (other than discs in play)
• Overt rudeness
• Destruction, abuse or vandalism of property, including animals, and plant life
• Cheating or willful attempt to circumvent the rules of play
• Physical attacks or threatening behavior.
• Any activities which are in violation of Federal, State, local laws or ordinances and park regulations.
• Excessive use of alcohol or the use of illegal substances at the tournament site.
• Underage drinking

C. The use of illegal substances is forbidden from the two minute warning until the player’s scorecard is submitted. Such use shall result in immediate disqualification.

D. Consumption of alcohol is expressly forbidden from the two minute warning until the player’s scorecard is submitted. Such use shall result in immediate disqualification at a B Tier or higher event. (This rule is still in effect at “C Tier” events. However, the Tournament Director may elect to issue a warning to the offending player instead of immediately disqualifying them. If a player has been issued a warning, all subsequent violations shall result in immediate disqualification.)

E. Tournament Directors are required to report any disqualifications to the PDGA as quickly as possible.

F. Disqualified players shall forfeit any prize money or merchandise and shall not receive a refund of entry fees.
