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 Tour 900 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.

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.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
