It’s the rainy season again! What this means is fewer golf games to play because of the threat of lightning and the risk of being soaked if caught in the rain.
Two things irk me if it rains during a round of golf, and it’s not so much the weather stalling the game. It is more about staying comfortable. The number one issue is the golf shoes. No more wearing light summer golf shoes during the rainy season, as rainwater tends to soak through to the inside. The toes get cold and pruned because the socks are wet. Ick. Leather golf shoes fare better, but they will still be uncomfortable.
The second issue is having to wear a raincoat! Wearing a raincoat to stay dry and swinging the clubs is not the best scenario. Sometimes the raincoat can’t even do the job right! Sigh, enough complaints, less said is better. Otherwise, it mars the joy of the game.
Having said all that, so far the few games I’ve played have been completed without any interruption, thank goodness. I guess I have to take things in stride, after all, this wet year-end challenge is an annual affair.
