Golf After a Good Rain.
 

Agree with everything you said. Divots seem better and the greens are the best esp. once you've got the speed down after adjusting for the dampness.

Rain??? I have to drive out of state to find that stuff. Best I can hope for around here is dew, or morning frost....

I like playing in the rain when I do run into it. Just seems more peaceful.http://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...es/biggrin.png

I hate playing in the rain and only slightly less when the course is wet. Too many reasons to list.

Yet I seem to recall you whining this weekend when your tournament was canceled due to rain. Or was that someone else?

Like to play after a good rain. Around here there are certain times of the year when the humidity comes down just a bit and after a rain everthing just seems cool and fresh. I agree the divots are better and the putting is much better after adjusting for the damp greens.

Pretty much an every day event this part of the world.

No, that was me. I wasn't complaining that it was cancelled, I was complaining that it was $!$!#$% raining AGAIN!

You, of all people, should understand that Diane (being in CT too).

It's supposed to be a beautiful weekend.

AFTER a good rain.

I agree with everything you wrote. The only thing I don't like is the inevitable swarm of mosquitoes that follow such a rain.

That's why I said "and only slightly less when the course is wet" ... which is usually the case after a good rain.

I love playing after a rain, it's my favorite. Even better if I'm the first / only one out there playing.

I don't mind playing in the rain, I don't own a rainsuit, or fiddle with all the other stuff (though I do have an umbrella).

How much rain is a "good rain"?

I don't mind playing after it rains, as long as it doesn't turn into Cart Path Only.

Diane, I always have a large towel with me to lay on the ground then I lay the clubs on the ground with the grips resting on the towel. Keeps them dry and playable. http://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...ilies/blob.gif

I like playing after the rain even though I am not a long hitter and therefore lose some roll. Nothing quite like the smell in the air after a rain. http://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...lies/clapp.gif

This whole season has been either raining or about to rain. Desert golf sounds really good about now.

I don't like playing after the rain. (Being from Vancouver this means I probably need to change this mindset...)

I play at muni courses and they don't have very good drainage. Some areas on the fairway is just grass sitting ontop of soft mud :P....

I love it too except I usually dig the clubhead in on chips when the ground is soft. But that's my problem I'll have to fix.
