Here’s a person breaking a big, basic make-it-in-sports rule and succeeding anyway. Maybe it isn’t all about hard work and constant striving
Charley Hull smokes on the 17th fairway during a practice round prior to the Solheim Cup golf tournament at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club on Sept. 11, in Gainesville, VA. Hull , the 12th-ranked pro on the LPGA Tour, became famous earlier this year after being filmed signing autographs, a lit cigarette dangling from her lips. She looked like a Brummie Steve McQueen.
In Paris, she was asked if she would smoke in the golfing venue . Hull said she wouldn’t because the rules wouldn’t allow it, but it still made news everywhere. This was the entree for some tut-tutting to begin. This week, Hull received a special dispensation to smoke on the course during the Solheim Cup, which is the women’s version of the Ryder Cup. This year’s competition is being held in Virginia – smoking’s spiritual home.
Based on my own non-scientific observations, it feels as though smoking’s having a moment. For the past 10, 20 years, it was remarkable to see a young person – especially a young woman – smoking while walking down the street. This summer, I started seeing that all the time. Teens and 20-somethings smoking at bus stops and in parks. Standing around on the street, staring at their phones, smoking.
This week, I read about a launch party at a New York Fashion Week event that gave out branded lighters as gifts. There were bowls of cigarettes scattered around the room. Not so long ago, Hull’s habit would have been a much bigger talking point. It might have even risen to the level of a cause.
