How to practice putting in the rain

Looks workable in a pic, but a video will probably show how umbrellas and rain are always an awkward combo. I was kind of hoping someone made a giant umbrella hat.

Um. lol.

Why don't you just, you know, practice in the rain? Sure you'll get wetter than a normal round, but wouldn't that be the best type of practice? Something on my head like that and I feel like I wouldn't be lining up putts right. As weird as that sounds. Especially since it doesn't technically interfere with my swing at all. Would just seem like one of those weird feel things.

I practice putts in the rain on occasion. The most important thing for me is to know the relative speed change of a known green speed and bead. So I use a practice green I know very well. I also will typically wait until the rain has lightened up a bit so my grip doesn't get soaked, but the greens themselves are still saturated and do that (crappy) water pull-up thing when rolling (flinging water up and around).

Best of luck to you. I think it's an important skill for those of us who will actually play in the rain. I played in a vendor tournament through my work on the Saturday of Hurricane Matthew and it was quite wet! lol! (in central NC)
