Everyone's done it, but have you ever played in a down right monsoon?
I was itching to swing some clubs, and go try out the new hybrid I picked up this week finally.. 40% chance of rain and an invite from a golf buddy to play 9 after work sounded good to me.
Loaded up the walking bag, and met him at the course.. Hadn't played at this place in a while and they only wanted $9 to walk.. Sounds good to me!!
Walking is good sometimes, although I normally ride. Piped a drive down the right side, and used my new hybrid and destroyed the ball. Left it just on the fringe of the 530 yard par 5.
Then the rain comes.. And goes... and comes back with a vengeance.
I was soaked to the bone. My towels were dripping wet, my bag had water draining out of the bottom of it as I carried it. My headcovers were like cinder blocks, and the ONE glove I had in the bag, was now soaked.
After carding a double on the par 4, I hit the green with a knock down shot, only because I couldn't swing out of my shoes.
I sent my 8i flying almost towards the lake on my approach shot..
Needless to say, I can't play in the rain. Slightly raining, I'm okay. Extra gloves, maybe a rain jacket, or not forgetting to carry the cover for the bag would help.. I simply couldn't hold on to the club, and was not enjoying it. We laughed it off, and mucked around.. The greens were drenched, the cups were full of water and it was standing on the greens. Putting was IMPOSSIBLE. Think US OPEN raining.
Decided to kiss it goodbye after 6 holes.. The lightning did exactly make me feel comfortable enough to finish my follow through with my 4-iron high in the sky.
