“Only bad thing I do”: Charley Hull defends her smoking after saying she has ‘no interest’ in golf training

Charley Hull is a veteran on the LPGA Tour and she has developed quite the popularity for her brand of golf. However, another thing Hull makes headlines for during golf tournaments is her habit of smoking cigarettes. On many occasions, the English golfer has been spotted smoking during rounds.

Recently, on social media platform Instagram, Hull uploaded a story in which she spoke about her smoking habit. Hull opened up after people began asking her why she runs so much instead of indulging in golf-specific training. Attaching a photo of herself, Hull wrote:

"People r asking why I run so much and why I don't do golf specific training. 1 golf training is boring I have no interest in that at all but the training & weights I do help my golf. 21 love running as a hobby and for my fitness and my mind. The more fitter you are the less jet lag you get and the more stamina you have 3 you'll get injured: no cuz I do all my recovery. ice bath compression boots physio & massage.

And I hate being a slob I love always being on the go living life in the fast lane. Sleep is key though I get bout 10-11 hours a night of sleep but I also can survive for 4/5 hours of sleep no problem. 4 you smoke yeah do it's the only bad thing I do! I don't eat hardly unhealthy I eat super clean I never drink acohol pribs 2/3 times a year max I got all my drinking out the way when I was 18/19 (good times) Here's to all you Karen's out there 😂💯"

Last year during an interview, Charley Hull was asked how many cigarettes she smoked in a round. At the time, Hull revealed she smoked five cigarettes and that it became gradually lesser. However, in the same interview she also expressed a strong desire to quit smoking.
