What tactics should i use? Need your exp!

[GOLFER1994]

I am looking for your veterans advice!
Its medal day tommorow. Supposed to be sunny with few clouds in the morning but in the after noon, chance of rain and thunderstorms with high wind!
I am teeing off at 1:20 !
Question is, how do i deal with it? What tactics should i use, i am relying on your expertice to make a sort of game plan!
Thanks !

get your waterproofs on and your bag cover on maybe an umbrella or hat normally works for me in the rain

Hit it easy and forget pins, middle of the green never gets a bad lie.

Mate, playing golf in the rain is really miserable, I chuffing hate it. Umbrella up then down, wet gloves,wet grips. I can think of nothing worse. Take 2/3 towels in a plastic bag, for a glove a pair of snug fitting marigolds black if poss will keep your hands dry and stop the grips spinning in your hands. Good waterproofs are a must and a waterproof bucket hat is better than an umbrella.

Phone the club as early as possible and see if there are any early slots that have become available

You can do whatever you like to try to keep everything dry but without a good caddy it is impossible if it rains continuously.

The key to playing in the rain is attitude, at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the field will be too wet, cold, miserable and annoyed to score well.

Just accept that it'll be a pain inthe arse and just try to get on with it. Club up and 3/4 swing will be helpful especially if in full waterproof. Oh, and take some break out of your putts as they won't break as much as usual.

Take a few spare gloves in a bag and some towels. Try and keep the grips as dry as you can. Don't feel sorry for yourself if you do get the worse of the weather. Take a club more and swing easier
