After further review, the PDGA Board of Directors approved an update to the PDGA Tobacco Policy, the text of which is displayed below. The policy is effective immediately and supersedes all previously published tobacco policies. The updated policy is similar to the Tobacco Policy implemented in 2012 for PDGA Majors, but now extends to PDGA National Tour events as well any concurrent sanctioned events tied to those events. Another key change to the policy is it now applies to Event Staff, in addition to players and their caddies listed in the previous policy.
I knew that headline would get your attention. First, let me introduce myself: I’m Rebecca Duffy and I am Secretary of the PDGA Board and I have also been voted by the Board to be the official spokesperson. I will be giving you periodic updates: some you’ll like and some you may not like. In other words, please don’t shoot the messenger!
