Thats cause they have NEFA which is way better than the PDGA.
NY is planning on passing a law making it illegal to smoke in your own car if you have a minor in the car.
I don't care either way. I don't smoke and I'm not in the Pdga. I just wanted to rile you guys up and post a cool pic of Cabrera and his caddy. 
if the players want it changed vote in a new board. That simple

NEFA has its issues. Many there have agreed that having ratings would be helpful for defining divisions and more PDGA events are being hosted there each year. NEFA also hosts one of the highest paying non-Major PDGA events each year as the Vibram Open. So the PDGA is happy with the progress promoters are making to support the PDGA in NEFAland. A similar transition to support the PDGA occurred in Minnesota 10 years ago. Sometimes it takes a while for the benefits value to take hold in an area.

I'm pretty sure California already has this law. Doesn't sound obscene, in fact, this is one smoking law I support to the fullest. I try my hardest not to smoke with kids in the same general area.

Smoking policy from PDGA Home Page easily found on right hand column.

By the way - I'm not being mean, just figured that would be the first place to look before asking here.

"E-cigarettes and chewing tobacco are not allowed under the smoking policy"
http://www.pdga.com/announcements/2011-worlds-non-smoking-policy
They appear like cigarettes and will not be allowed. This proves it is an image issue over a health issue.
I am too stupid to use an E cig. as a non smoker I thought I was supposed to blow into it to get it to smoke and nothing happened :doh: I figured it out and my mouth tasted like a cig for 4-5 hours.
exactly.. it's way better when they just smoke, curse, shoot up and womanize behind the scenes.
As a smoker I agree with the rule change from an image standpoint. I'm sorry, but it's totally trashy to see 'professional' athletes taking a puff in the middle of the round. I do, however think they should have the option to sneak a puff 'off the course' in some kind of capacity should they want to, and time allows for it.
Two words.. gum and brownies.
