Exactly as posted above.

Here in Raleigh, our laws regarding smoking in public parks are rather interesting. Basically, it allows smoking in the parking lots but not in the actual park area.

I tell players that breaking the law is a DQable offense and that smoking in the park at any time is not allowed. However, smoking is allowed in any parking lot even during the rounds. So when the course passes any parking lot, it looks like the smoking area at the airport with all the smokers standing in those particular areas. It's a really weird rule but as long as the players are following the law - which they are - and my event is not an NT or major, it is the correct way to handle it.

I've never had the first issue with it.
