My general response.
If i'm not mistaken David Feldberg, Avery Jenkins, & Cale Leiviska all voted on this. All 3 a top touring pros and serve on the PDGA Board. I know Feldberg is/was a smoker but i'm not sure of the other 2. The PDGA is represented by those who vote. I suggest contacting those making the decisions. If you are not a PDGA you have no voice. If you want a voice join.
I'm not a smoker and could care less about this rule. I'm not playing Worlds this year anyway. I would like to see what would happen if RJ Reynolds or Philip Morris sponsored Pro Worlds with $100,000 to the payout.
The smokers should go to the smokeless cigarette things for the tourney
If you don't like the rule, don't participate in the event.
If that's the case I am going to file to trademark the SPDGA.only 224 people signed up so far and its almost june. Is it the new imagine the reason people are not signing up for this? i am going to guess the over/under on how many sign up to play in this will be about 350 people.
Fat people are disgusting to look at. They smell and present an unhealty image for dg.
Fat people should be banned.
lol @ craftsman comparing smoking to microwaves. It's insane to me that people still think smoking isn't harmful. In your example, your 50 y.o. "fit" friend has a great chance of being a 60y.o. dead friend from cancer. Imagine how fit that guy would be if he wasn't smoking?
And on the actual topic, like so many others have said, it's an image problem, not a health problem. If you want this sport on TV one day, you sure as hell can't have a guy tapping out his putt while huffing down a cig. Talk about no credibilty. I was just watching a DGM and saw Feldberg do that and thought to myself "How is this sport expected to go mainstream if the idols we have don't even look like they're atheletes?"
