Smoke Cigars, Lower Your Golf Handicap?

Tuesday, August 24, 2010 by Trevor Billingsley
For a sport that has more gadgets and gimmicks designed to improve your game than anything else on the planet (just watch the commercials on The Golf Channel and you'll see what I mean), one of the most basic swing aids are quality cigars. At least, that's what I've found in my golf experience.

ANDRE GARCIA 3 FINGER SMOOTH BLACK LEATHER CASEA cigar is a relaxant for me. Golf, contrary to its billing, is not. I tend to get angry and frustrated when I play poorly, particularly from the tee or on the green, and that tends to make me play worse. When I’m angry at myself, I’m not hitting a nice, easy swing – I’m trying to hit it as hard as I can and as far as I can, which means people in adjacent fairways are in grave danger.

Gispert Cigars on the golf course tend to calm me down, and therefore helps mitigate the tension. Of course, I always try to have an extra cigar or two on hand in my Andre Garcia 3 Finger Smooth Black Leather Case, in case I get so mad at myself that I bite one in half accidently. Yes, that has happened to me. No, I'm not proud of it. But that kind of tension is why I need my cigar on the golf course in the first place.
