How to Tee Off Like a Pro Even In Rain

If you think, soccer is the only challenging game to play while it's raining, then you need to watch some of the open championships at a Tampa golf club or anywhere else in America with similar such weather conditions. The golfers find themselves in a completely changed soggy course and even the best player of the season struggles to putt the easiest hole. Playing golf in the rain is an experience you have to face at least once in your lifetime, if you are a professional golfer. You really cannot control Nature; but you can of course prepare yourself to stay in your best form, even if the weather is not in your favor. So, if you are about to participate in any championship during the rainy season, here are a few tips to keep you hooked onto the game.

#Tip One

It is not that rain will be an unexpected guest of the day. The weather forecast will tell you about the possibility and you need to pull yourself up accordingly. If you are about to play in a course near the sea area, there will always be strong wind along with rain. So, keep your head, hands, and body warm. You will find gloves, jackets, pants, and headwear designed especially for the rain. It is better to select a water-resistant fabric.

#Tip Two

Make sure your golf kit is covered as much as possible. You must place the clubs under an umbrella or cover them with a towel. If you are unable to have a caddie, get a pushcart with an umbrella. Whatever it is, do not let the rain spoil the sharpness of your equipment.

#Tip Three

Golf is all about grip and if your hand is wet, you don't stand a chance to perform, let alone win. Always carry a towel and after every shot, wipe the grip as well as the shaft. If possible, wear gloves to keep your hands dry.

Apart from your grip, your footing should also be strong, even if it is a wet turf. It is better to minimize the foot-and-leg actions to avoid slipping. Also, carry an extra pair of socks in your bag. While you are playing in wet course conditions, keep these technicalities in mind.

• You need to hit putts harder when playing golf on a rainy day. The greens are usually slow and the ball will not curve, unlike the sunny days. Moreover, the wind will pose an additional obstruction.

• You really do not have to swing the ball hard to get it out of the bunker because the sand will be firmer due to rain.

• You will be playing for a longer time on a rainy day because the course will be soft. There is no need to worry about the fairways and greens because these areas on the track are softer and more receptive, and will not cause any trouble.

• Finally, you need to have patience while playing in the rain. So hold your horses!

Proper gear, understanding of the weather and expertise are the three elements you need to shine in golf. More so, if you are playing in rain. The next time you decide to tee it off in a golf course in Tampa, stay prepared for the unexpected. You cannot control the weather, but you can surely control your moves.
