What weather do you play in?

[OperationScratch]

I am interested to know what the BRitish weather does to our enthusiam to throw the clubs inthe boot and hike to the course. I was practicing early this morning with a) a biting wind and b) 2 degree temperatures. After 15 balls I had enough and moved to a proteced green where I worked on 200 chips and pitches to a green with a variety of flags on. But it got me thinkning???

As long as it isn't thick fog or snow (both of which close my course)I'll be out there.

 

[Twire]

Looks like most of the reply's are going to be "All of the above" I don't think there's many fair weather golfers on here.

 

[BrianDamage]

When the course is open it's only serious driving rain that'll keep me off if I've planned a round.
If I start waiting for decent weather I'll never get out there.

I prefer playing in the wind and rain(dont know why???) but wouldnt mind a few days each year where the sun is out and nice and calm

If you don't go for 'all of the above' you can't be playing in Britain, 'cos you'll get the lot in one round (sometimes between holes!)

If your name is down for a comp or you have travelled to play a new course you play it whatever the weather. I think most people would do that.

If you are asking what weather would you be prepared to just practice golf in I would play in light rain and cold ok, if its tipping down or blowing a hurrican then I'd likely pass.

If I have a match I've signed up for I play no matter what the weather.

By choice I'd only play in warm, still & dry conditions but how often do you get those in sunny Derbyshire?

The thing I hate most however is windy conditions. I hit the ball a bit too high (been working on that with the pro), so when I play in the wind it can be terrible.
God knows how I'd cope on the seaside links courses some of you guys are members of

If its a comp then it doesnt matter what the weather is.

If its sheeting down and its only a friendly then i'll probably give it a miss

I dont like the wind+rain combination however if its a medal I#ll usually still play.

Also depends on the strength of the wind TBH.

 

[freddielong]

As I am not in control of the weather if my names down I will play in anything, but out of choice I will play in everything except the wet and windy combination.

I prefer playing in the wind and rain

Just as well living in Scotland

 

[drawboy]

Cannot stand heavy rain, everything wet through,muddy,cold,miserable. If I can avoid it I will.

 

[SS2]

Wind, rain, cold: I can stand any 2 of these but won't enjoy playing in all three.

 

[The_Squire]

All of them and sometimes in one round.

 

[Atticus_Finch]

Anything but frost. I hate winter greens. If I look out in the morning and the ground is white, I'll just jump back into bed. I'll play in anything else.

 

[Imurg]

Course open?

Game on!

 

[Smiffy]

Sunny, warm, no wind for me.
I'll take a little breeze but if it's blowing a gale that will get me off a course quicker than rain.
Didn't used to mind playing in the rain but since I've had to start wearing glasses it's not nice.

 

[evita4]

All of the above for me. If the course is open and I have arranged to play I won't cry off due to the weather.
