How Bad Is Too Bad?

[DeadMan]

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

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.

Sideways snow, 30-40 mph winds, 18F. You know, shorts weather.

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

Cold and rain ok above 40 degs. Below 40 cold only.

Yup. 45° and pouring rain is perfect golf outing weather 😜

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.
