Do you golf after rain? If so how much rain is too much? If not, why? I love golf and a wet course has never really bothered me but it might to some people. Its also supposed to rain 2 inches today and I am scheduled to play tomorrow and it got me thinking.

HeathS16

As a resident of Oklahoma soft courses are almost never a thing due to the prevalence of wind. Rain has never really bothered me but our crazy wind does!#N#Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Wet courses never bothered me, I tend to pick the ball anyways. Take the free relief and keep on playing!

I'll play in any conditions. 2 summers ago there were basically lakes guarding every green on the course a day or two after a ton of rain. My ball will plug, but I'll pick it up and keep moving. I've played in snow in spring as well.

juspoole

I'll play golf nearly anytime I get the opportunity. I will say that I will not play a nicer, ie more expensive, course when conditions are not as nice. If I'm scheduling further out, I check the forecast more closely than I used to as normally I'm not playing all that much so I choose more carefully.

It gets old slapping a ball through mud and calling it golf. A summer rain isn't anything, but these spring time 3-days-straight rains take all the fun out of it. I hesitated making a tee time for Saturday because of thunderstorms tonight and all day tomorrow. Probably gonna have to wait another week to get back out.#N#Take Dead Aim

Tom the Golf Nut

The area in North East TN where I am has a lot of clay in the soil. Very poor drainage. Sand traps turn into ponds. Even a fairway shot into the green can leave you with red clay stains on your clothes. I prefer to wait a day after a soaking rain if I'm playing a local course.

Feedback

So I am a novice but do regrip my own clubs. I usually am very generous with the solvent so my question is- after re-gripping a steel shafted iron how long should I wait to play? I am up in the Northeast and looking at around 90 degrees and humid this week. I am looking to play tomorrow afternoon and wanted to do a few clubs today. Thanks.
