I did not use to smoke on the course so I dont have any tools. Specifically a cigar holder to keep my burning buddy safe while hitting the ball. Anyone have any quick suggestions on a home made cigar holder or should I just try and make it out to find one to buy somewhere? I know there are a few of you that like to burn em while you play (

Well I have a couple cutters, a punch, and about 4-5 lighters that live in my golf bag. I bring a 3 cigar Xikar case or a 5 count travel humi depending on whether it's a 9 hole league or 18 hole round and if I'm bringing one or two to give out. As for holders - I don't use one. I toss it on the ground when hitting and usually keep puffing during chips and putts so can't help you there. Unless it's early morning and the dew is out it's not a problem to toss it, but I know others will not like the sound of that. Any holder's I've ever tried are more trouble than they are worth imo, but if I was to do it I'd do a stinky or a Xikar ash can in the cup holder over the clips. I think
@Gunther7912
is a clip guy - he can weigh in.
Hit em long and stay in the short grass !
No cigar until you get a par - birdie if it's a scramble !

Thanks for the tips Tony. My plan is just to try and hit em where I can find them.

Just asking...but don't you ever worry about ingesting the fertilizers that they use on the courses? Maybe I am a worry wart, but I have seen and smelt the stuff the spray/spread all over that grass and I don't want that stuff anywhere near my mouth! 
I usually just lay it on top of my bag when I can't hold it or keep it in my mouth. I really should invest in one of those clips since I am always walking...

I would probably be more concerned if the course I played was a "real" course but my home course is a little 9 holer and they don't use much of anything. If I see there is anything or know there was fresh spray I'd be more careful, but honestly the 4 or 5 guys I play with that smoke do the same thing and I can't remember the last time I played with someone who actually used a clip. Of course, this habit could explain some things............. said it before one of you Bums did lol
