In rain golf, a conservative target can turn a nervous approach into a routine two-putt. With rain gloves on, another hole might ask you to leave driver in the bag because the miss brings trees, water, or a bad angle into play.

In rain golf, over a month, those notes reveal your real pattern. When the course is wet, maybe you under-club, maybe you over-aim at flags, maybe you get impatient after one bad break. That is useful knowledge, and it is how rain golf becomes a scoring skill instead of a survival test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n",227,{"slug":15,"title":16},"how-to-build-a-pre-round-plan-for-playing-in-rain","How to Build a Pre-Round Plan for Playing In Rain",null,1782812355590]
