I think that is TV because I have never played in the rain and the only way that I would is if I had expensive reservations.

i sometimes play in the rain but if it gets really heavy i call it a day
for example yesterday in england i was playing my home course(bredsal priory) and it was tipping it down, i played on for 9 holes then it got heavy rain and was unplesent as my grips were soacking and i was wet through but that is something i will have to get used to if i wanna be a golf coach

Kinda funny story about onetime it started raining.I was playing with 2 buddies.We played 2 holes when it was just a really lite rain then it let loose.One of my buddies hit his second shot and stuck it about 4 feet from the hole on a par 5. Two of us took cover and he went up there to the green and he made the putt for his first Eagle.He was soaked.But he didn't mind..LOL we waited under the shelter for about twenty minutes but it never let up.We all ended up soaked after the mad rush to the clubhouse...

wouldn't play in the rain if you paid me - too many stories out there about being hit by lightning and besides; I don't like to get soaked to the skin!

I once played in a thunderstorm thinking I would be fine and could get through the last 3 holes.....until a tree on the 13th hole was struck by lighting and I had to change my shorts.

I now am the first one in the clubhouse at the first sign of rain.

I'd play golf in the rain if I paid to play on an expensive course. If it's not that exciting I'd probably just leave. Plus the rain can ruin your bag and clubs if you don't have a power cart.

good point - you really don't want to risk your personal possessions just to keep playing... or do you?

Hehehe ... good one ... lucky you had an extra pair of shorts

I think a lot of courses close in the rain because you can damage the greens so easily, plus if there are any trees at all around, it's just too much of a liability issue for the golf course. If someone gets struck by lightning, which tends to like to hit trees most of all and metal clubs too, the course is afraid they'll get sued or even be criminally liable.

I hate playing in the rain anyway. Everything sloshes around and you can't keep a good grip. It would be kind of fun to just drive around the course in the golf cart but still wouldn't want to take the chance.
