Default Re: Gloves for rain ?

Thanks for all replies and interesting thoughts!

I have played ball golf for many years, and some of my tournament wins has come when the weather has been absolutely soaking wet. I tried to think positive as you say, knowing that everyone struggles with the weather. Those who accepts a slight loss of grip, discomfort from the rain, more complicated handling of umbrella, towels, scorecards etc, they usually prevail and place high in the results.

Now I need to find a way to adapt to slower smoother release, and mentally accept I will throw shorter, besides the work with keeping things dry.

Oh, one more tip from me, it is so much easier to handle things in a competition if someone is kind enough to caddie for you... :-) It is not that easy to persuade my girlfriend to carry my backpack in pouring rain, but it sure make things easier when I can concentrate on drying discs and writing scores, without clinging the umbrella between my shoulder and chin, kneeling on the ground... :-P

Here in southern Sweden the Winter tours wiith unstable weather will begin in a few weeks, I'll better be prepared then!

Again, thanks guys, good advices and an interesting discussion!
