You see it on T.V. where people play in the rain on the golf course. What a distraction? Does anyone here play in the rain? Or is that T.V. stuff?

I really can't imagine golfing in the rain. Destracing, unpleasant, cold. Annoying. You're more likely to slip or get a bad shot, I'd think. Don't plan on trying it

If nothing else, it will sharpen your concentration. Just don't try to putt or chip with a baseball hat on.

yeah, it's okay for practice, but I wouldn't want to do it for a serious round of golf

try living in the uk, we play most days in the rain, it aint that bad.

Don't a lot of courses frown upon that anyway due to potential damage to the course?

Can't stop thinking about that scene from Caddyshack with the priest in the thunderstorm!

Oy. Glad I don't live there. Where I am now we're actually rediculously short on rain. Several inches below annual average,and it's normally dry here anyways. They've got sprinklers going like crazy at the golf courses when they aren't in use

I hate being in wet clothes. I would hate to be playing in the rain. I know many people do play in the rain and they seem to push aside the distraction and continue to focus on their game. I imagine the money in the end may have something to do with the focus though.

Theres been a few times where I've played in the rain. I actually don't mind it that much. I find it quite relaxing. The sound of the rain on your clothing and golf cart, the smell, the moisture in the air. Now I'm not saying I would choose a rainy day over a sunny day, but I wouldn't mind golfing in the rain every once in awhile.
