At least a week ago me my brother and cousin went golfing.We didn't expect it to rain.So we tee off at the first hole 10 minutes later it starts down pour and I actually got a birdie on the first hole.We just decided to play through.The whole day it was reigning with thunder and I still played a 9 over!

Where's the "it depends" option? Because... it depends: what course, what kind of match (if any), with whom, etc.

as long as it's not pouring down.

actually on a real hot day a shower or light rain is very refreshing imho.

but I have to cover my clubs....I'm sort of anal when it comes to that and plus I don't wear a glove so I need to keep my grips as dry as I can

I really like the rain, but I use TaylorMade clubs/grips so if water gets on them then I'm screwed, so I usually try to avoid rain, but if necessary I'll hack through a round with rain.

i like your way of thinking


We average less than 8 inches of rain a year here in New Mexico so I have never actually had to play in the rain before.

JK but I don't even own an umbrella and I have only worn my rain pants one time and I have owned them for 5 years. So I don't really have any experience in the matter but it certainly doesn't look very fun.

I'll play in light (keyword light) rain if I have my club cover-upper-thingy, but if it gets worse or I'm without it I'll stop.

Heading out to do it right now! Playing in the rain means my season here on Vancouver Island is pretty much year round.

Haha i live in north vancouver :) the reason i asked is because earlier today i went out and played in the pouring rain and shot a 77, (5 over) despite having to put through puddles on the green. It was a record round for me at my home course.

It was POURING my shoes were literally filled with water after 4 holes.

I live in London .. 'nuff said!

I will say in a little rain yes.

Heavy downpour, no. And especially if there is a thundrestorm, then I cancel the tee time.

I have played in the rain many of times and I have not problem doing it.

    • Day 297: back to mirror work tonight. Working on slow movement for feels from the wrist stuff. 
    • Day 22: 5/13/25 Putting through gates and weight shift drills with a wedge.
    • I would be happy to hang out with you guys but as of now @DaveP043 and I are planning to stay in Cranberry Township. There’s a bit of travel between the two places, but maybe we can work something out.
    • Personally I have no issues with even the steroid-era figures such as Bonds, McGwire, and Sosa being inducted into the hall. My reasoning there is we already have nearly a half-dozen known steroid users in the hall, including those inducted after their steroid usage was already common knowledge. David Ortiz and Pedro Martinez (as well as Ivan Rodriguez, Adrian Beltre, and Todd Helton) both failed the same wave of anonymous drug tests that saw Sammy Sosa shunned by the nation, and he's in the hall. Piazza admitted to using Andro (the same thing McGwire was juicing with) and amphetamines. Greenies were commonplace in MLB clubhouses and used by countless stars, alongside cocaine, from at least the 60's all the way up until the early 2000's. There are at least a dozen other pros in the hall that have allegations from teammates who claim to have directly witnessed steroid usage. Even Nolan Ryan has stated that he thought steroid usage was a widespread problem in the sport as early as the mid to late 70's. I'm of the opinion that once that genie is out of the bottle, and it most certainly has been for decades now, it's a bit silly to pretend those already inducted are somehow morally superior for being not quite as astronomically and suspiciously good at baseball when using steroids. Hitters were using steroids, pitchers were using steroids (funny how we saw the number of complete games fall off a cliff at the same time that steroid enforcement was being ramped up), it's an even playing field as far as I'm concerned. To quote The Incredibles, "When everyone is super, no one will be".  As for Pete Rose it would appear that by all accounts he never bet as a player and only ever bet on his own team while managing. It's understandable to prohibit any involvement in the sport after it was discovered, but it's not something that gave him any advantage in reaching his level of achievement in the sport.  As for Joe Jackson, I personally don't think he should have been banned in the first place. He actively refused the bribe, tried to report the plot to the owner of the White Sox, and his alleged confession only occurred after the White Sox's team attorney got him roaring drunk immediately prior to the grand jury testimony. Every confessed conspirator also stated that he never attending any of their meetings or discussed plans with them. Not to mention the fact that if he WAS trying to fix the series he did an absolutely terrible job of it considering he was the best performing player on either team by far setting a World Series record that stood until 1964 and went error-free while gunning down at least one runner at home plate. 
    • Day 7: 5/13/2025 Range day today. Had a really good session. I was able to pull a mirror over into my stall and make a slow-mo swing in the mirror and then try to duplicate the swing to hit a ball.  Felt really good today. Tomorrow will be league night.
