Are you a mudder?

  1. 1. Are you a mudder? (A player who plays better than the field in wet/rainy/inclement conditions)

    • Yes, the tougher, the better. Bring it on!
    • Yes. I don't like playing in bad conditions but I handle wet/rainy conditions better than the average player
    • No. I will play but the results are not better than the field
    • No. Who the heck plays when the conditions are not good?
    • Something else - please explain.

In general, I think I do better in rainy and cold conditions than the average person. Even in the winter, I'll go to the course as long as it is 40 degrees or warmer (4 C). Most of the guys I play with don't do that.

However, strong winds really do bother me. For some reason, the home course seems to have an awful lot of holes that play into the wind. Not being very long anyway, it can make for a frustrating round.

Bring it on! yesterday i played with rain. And theres a lot of wind at my home course. In Argentina we play all year so i play in summer with almost 40°C and in winter with 0°C. I´m also like Dustin, i keep it cool all the round and i have real spectation on the average score i can shoot with the day conditions.
I also compete in course a lot better than mine, so if the course is in bad shape it´s easy for me to adapt.

The bad side of it.. on good days and courses I suck :(. I just can´t take advantage on the good conditions.

I'm fine with playing in wind or rain, but combine the two and I'd prefer not to.  When good rain gear isn't enough to keep you from getting soaked, I'm not thrilled to be playing.  But, I'd still consider it an advantage to me when conditions are bad.

This is pretty much my philosophy also. Sideways rain is not ideal and rarely a pleasurable experience. 

I also think that once I put too many layers on I start to play bad. I struggle to swing with undershirt, sweater, rain jacket on. I find my consistency waivers a bit.

Voted for the second one. I think I like that expectations are low when the weather is crappy.

Some of my best rounds lately have been in cold/wet/windy conditions. 

Hmm, I think we have VERY different definitions of cold/wet. I see you playing with pants on and you think its cold.

    • I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...  
    • Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target. 
    • Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver. 
    • Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…
    • OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
