Is Charley Hull's smoking on the green a bold statement or a disgrace to golf?

Love, Death & Robots! You might have heard of the famous Netflix show. But when it comes to Charley Hull, we need to make a slight change; Love, cigarettes, & golf!

Now, coming to the golfer, she had ticked off the first and the last at the recently ended Maybank Championship. How, you might ask. Well, the golfer had, during the event, disclosed how she loved being at home with her boyfriend. Now, only the second remains or remained, to be more exact, that is until the final day of play at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

A video of the LPGA Tour Pro went ahead to become viral yet again on social media. LPGA superstar Charley Hull ripped a dart on the green during the @maybankchampionship,” wrote NUCLR GOLF on their X handle as they additionally pointed out, “Charley finished T12 this week.”

Yes, you read that right! The Englishwoman could only card a figure of 12-under after the four rounds of play at the LPGA Tour event. She was able to do so by putting up scores of 72-70-69-65 over the four days by dishing out a total of 21 birdies, six bogeys, and an eagle.

Unfortunately enough, these numbers were overshadowed by the athlete’s video in which she “ripped a dart.”

Fast forward to the present and we see a couple of fans being seemingly fed up with the news of her smoking. They commented, “Why are ”sports bros” so obsessed with this girl smoking?” while another added, “It’s a free world, move on.”

As an athlete, Charley Hull has, over the years, raked in so much hate and anger. Especially so after the golfer started to openly smoke on the various courses. “Now give up the Smoking!!” asked many of her fans even before the start of the Maybank Championship. And the trend didn’t break as a couple of enthusiasts came forward to Conduct unbecoming,” and “We need ashtrays around the tee boxes and the greens now.”

Regardless of what the community appears to be saying, the 28-year-old seems to be enjoying her time, be it on or off the course. Well, who wouldn’t?! Especially if you have a boyfriend, is a global golfing icon, and get to smoke on the greens!
