Tomorrow i am going out for my first ever experience on a golf course. But I have one problem, the golf club are really strict and due to it forecast to be wet conditions I was wondering what I could where to keep myself dry.

A brolly is essential...... to keep the clubs dry

For you - I am assuming that you don't have a set of gear from your post so go for something like a waterproof jacket without logo's etc. Any colour goes at golf so don't worry too much. If its very very wet I doubt many will be bothered about what you are wearing as long as its intended to keep you dry.

I have seen people out in wind sheeters - the old cagoole type thing (is that how you spell it??)

Oh and have some fun and don't let the rain put you off - its a great game you must try playing in the sun some time

if its really wet id advise you to tuck your trousers into plain old football socks a la martin o'niell !

If it's raining, don't spoil your first impression of Gold. Stay inside until it's dry.

Plenty of other ways to find an outlet for you obvious masochism imo.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Golf btw!

Golf really requires waterproof gear that is also not bulky - otherwise swing is restricted. Can be expensive, so not worth it for a first outing imo. Wool (in its various flavours) is still the best imo for giving warmth if it does get wet though. Jeans are certainly not appropriate to golf - too cold, even if allowed. If you have a 'microfibre' cold/warm under-gear from another sport, then they are great. Long-johns, from camping etc are likewise great for warmth without too much bulk. A hat/cap is essential - specially if it can cover the ears! You'll learn to have no ego about sartorial elegance if you want to stay dry/warm on a golf course.
