Smoke a pipe while golfing? Where to rest it during shots?

[memberguest]

Anyone smoke a pipe while golfing? If you don't want to have it in mouth while swinging full shots where do you put it down? Is there some overpriced tool out there to rest pipe on while swinging?

My late playing partner never let his swing get in the way of his pipe.

I usually just set it on the table next to my leather chair.  In front of a roaring fire with a dog at my feet.  While wearing my smoking jacket and reading Jane Austin.

Maybe see if a cigar holder could be modified to work for your pipe.

Do cup holders not work?

That might be something you want to invent and make sure to sell it at an overpriced level...

I would think a pipe in your mouth would deter you from the over-the-top swing.

I'd look at a special pipe for golfing; find one that's broad across the bottom so you can set it on the ground while hitting shots.  

 

I've smoked a pipe but most of the bowls are so rounded they would tip over if I set them on the ground.

Cameron Tour Issue Circle T pipe holder?

 

Also comes with the obligatory display table for all the special pipes.

I would not want to set anything on the ground on a golf course and then put it in or near my mouth.

Ah, but the chemicals (and sunflower seeds and goose poop and spit) would negate the bad pipe breath.

Like those chemicals are worse than the tars and nicotine? 

[mat562]

It can be done.

 

As an encore, use a beer can to mark your ball on the 18th green.

[Kmagnuss]

Just put it in your back pocket.

I don't have anything to offer aside from stating this subject is outstanding.

What kind of pipe?

[3fiddyz]

[ChipStrokes]

divot tool with a notch in it should work. 

 

they’re meant to keep your grips off the wet ground, but i think if you set the bowl on the ground and rest the mouthpiece in the notch (are we not doing phrasing anymore?) then your pipe will stay upright

If I don't have time to pre roll, Ill hit bowls on the course, usually set my pipe in the little compartment on my push cart.

I don't smoke pipe but I smoke cigars and I use an Alec Bradley cup holder ashtray. It is actually pretty decent ceramic ashtray with a large cavity. You should be able to rest your pipe on it unless you're using an oversized pipe.

If you invent one, bet sure to put a Clicgear clip on it!  🤣

I use this:

I clip it to my push cart and it works great

When I was in college, my roommate, who introduced me to golf, asked if I wanted to volunteer at his dad's work's tournament.  I'd played maybe twice with my roommate at this point, so I knew nothing about golf.  They had us set up on a par 3, and all we had to do is hand out beer, and answer the same question each group asked.  They'd ask for the distance, and I was told to tell them it was (I forget the actual numbers, but let's say) 160 playing 180.  I didn't understand at the time, but I'd imagine the green was elevated or maybe they were hitting into wind.  There were two things I'll never forget from that day.  First, this dude who was literally stumbling and slurring his words walked over, asked for a beer and the distance.  I think he failed to put his ball on a tee the first three times he tried, and somehow he stuck it to maybe 10 feet.  There was also an old man playing.  I'd estimate he was in his mid 70s.  He was puffing on a pipe, but when it was his turn to tee off, he just tucked the stem into his back pocket, bowl exposed and facing away from his pants, and then swung.  Then he immediately pulled the pipe back out and kept puffing away.

Yeah…but for some reason I’m thinking the title needs fixing….

 

Shouldn't it be “Smoke a pipe whilst golfing?  “While” doesn’t sound like proper English old chap. 🥸

I take a corncob pipe to the course, that way if I lose it or it suffers some other calamity I'm not out much money.  I find the cup holder works fine as a place to rest my Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman.

Is there a little gentlewoman in that cup holder with him?

Ditto.

 

I have a flat bottomed pipe for that and I glued a piece of cork sheet to the underside of the compartment lid so it puts the pipe out whilst in there.

 

I wish I could find a pipe with a built in lid so I could cover it and put it out after a few puffs.   To be relit a few holes later.

Why not purchase a cover for your pipe like this one: https://www.smokingpipes.com/accessories/pipe-tampers-and-tools/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=131857

She's driving the cart

Back in the 70’s and 80’s yes. But the past 30 years I traded in the pipe for a cigar.
