Peaksy68 4,090 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 When I'm finished my round, or the siren blows to finish it for me. My club has just bought in a heat policy, but it hasn't been used yet. It will be interesting to see what happens when summer comes around. 1 Quote G400 SFT Aldila Xtorsion Copper Stiff F8 3 & 5 Woods Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 TS2 7 Wood Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 MP18 MMC - Project X LZ 5.5 Zipcore Wedges 50,54,58 - Project X LZ 5.5 MLA Tour Mallet 33" Z Star Pioneer bag buggy Link to post Share on other sites

4Left 119 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I am lucky that thunderstorms aren't really a problem where I play, but if I heard the sky rumbling, I am done. Other than that, snow or lack of daylight are the only things that cause me to turn around before finishing 18.

EthanSterlingPrice 1,302 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Excluding severe weather I can only think of two times I've walked off. One was I was feeling sick and the other a fella tried to pick a fight. It'll take a lot to get this nut off the course.

We just played around them. The interesting part was knowing when the stations changed; if you didn't know which line came on next, you could get soaked. 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to post Share on other sites
bens197 6,773 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 In college I was playing one of the best rounds of my life. -4 after 8 holes on what was supposed to be a screw around day. We kept it light. No wonder I was playing well. Problem was, we teed off at 3:30. Dinner in college ended at 6:30. As any broke college kid can confess, it's hard to pass up dinner when you have already paid for it. To my friends amusement, I packed it up, took my par on 9 and we headed to campus. To me, the story is better than any chance of breaking the CR.

TWar 251 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hmmmmm. I have walked off a few times. I find myself now during bad weather, watching my radar app on my phone to find out how serious the storm is and how long it might take to blow through. I was just in Rochester recently and a storm was coming through in waves. When it started to rain, I would find a tree (I know not the greatest idea) and wait for the wave to move through (watching the app) and then keep playing until the next wave comes. 2 Quote Epic Flash SZ 9o w/ Ventus 6X Rogue 4wd w/ ATMOS Red 7X CBX 20o w/ ATMOS Blue 7S tipped 1" JPX 900 Tour 4i - PW (standard lofts) Rifle SM6 51o, 59o, SM7 55o 2019 ProV1x Custom Ming Link to post Share on other sites
josmi15 1,734 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I was playing a round about two months ago, storm rolled in on 16th green, lightening on 17th fairway. I was able to finish.
