For me, I'll only not play if it's an and day. Meaning if it's cold and rain, I'm not going to play. If it's cold and windy, etc. If it's just cold or just rain, I'm still going to play.

I am pretty similar.

I opted for cold but not rain.  I must preface that by saying the coldest it gets where I live is 5 to 10 degrees Celsius which is 40 to 50 Farenheit, so at most pants and a thin jacket/sweater.  I don't like rain because the monsoon here is quite heavy, and the courses I play on tend to get soggy.  There are some courses with better drainage but I don't play them as regularly

What's in the bag

  • Taylor Made r5 dual Draw 9.5* (stiff)
  • Cobra Baffler 4H (stiff)
  • Taylor Made RAC OS 6-9,P,S (regular)
  • Golden Bear LD5.0 60* (regular)
  • Aidia Z-009 Putter
  • Inesis Soft 500 golf ball

I'll play in single digit temps. I'll play when it's snowing. I'll play in rain, but NOT a rain below 40 degrees and most certainly not in lightning.

@boogielicious  What time do you tee off this afternoon?  What's a little bomb cyclone, major blizzard to keep a guy from playing golf?  It's LCP under the Kenan rules.

Teeing off in the basement in a few with some drills. It’s nasty outside!

Describe nasty.   I awoke this morning to -9°!  

Hoping you guys don't get the bomb cyclone or whatever they are calling it.   Be prepared and stay safe.

No blizzards however. I also draw the line at low 30's when the ground is frozen.

But Bill, in some ways, those are almost perfect conditions.  Skip the frustrating umbrella.  Wear a pair of rain gloves, cap, rain jacket, rain pants and golf shoes still under warranty.  Generally it's free-sailing on the course, nobody clogging up the holes ahead of you.  It's invigorating.  Remember to carry your flask...

Ok smarty pants, I guess I should have clarified pouring rain is just out of question at any temp...lol. 

But, yeah light rain is fine as long as it does not seep into the hands it's playable. Have played.

Nah man, it was a great day despite the rain.

Light rain is great to play in. A lot of people won’t play in it so the course is fairly open.

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By klineka ·

      Ah, got it.  Yeah I'd just play it for bogey. Even as a low handicap I wouldn't be all that upset with a bogey on that hole.

      Haha I made a I typo. I was thinking two things at once, ‘I don’t think bogey is a bad score’ and ‘I think bogey is a great score’. But I mixed them up and said the opposite

      By klineka ·

      How isn't bogey a great score? As a 20 handicap every single time you make a bogey you are playing better than expected. Because if you bogeyed every hole you'd most likely be lower than a 20. You're a high handicap playing a hole that is lined with hazards the entire length of it on both sides.  Bogey is a very solid score for you on that hole.  From 300yds off the tee PGA tour players average 3.71 strokes to hole out. As a high handicap you are going to be more than 1 full stroke higher than that, probably closer to 2 full strokes higher.  If you had 100 different 20 handicaps play that hole I would bet a lot of money that the scoring average is greater than 5.0 Sometimes courses have really hard holes. Play for your bogey, be ecstatic about a par, and do everything possible to minimize double bogey.

      I don’t think bogey is a great score here. Will try the 7i - 7i approach. If I’m short, I think I can get out of the bunker and if I’m on the right I can chip up.
