LarrySK 3 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 1. Lasse from Brooklyn, NY 2. I've had a couple of Gore-Tex jacket and pant combos over the years, both from Peak Performance, a Swedish sports apparel maker. Pretty good for waterproofness and looks but they don't breathe much in my experience. 3. I actually don't mind playing in rain (I won't let nature get between me and the teebox :) and I've had plenty of wet rounds. The worst was probably the one in Staten Island (Silver Lake Golf Course) last year where on most greens I would just move the ball across the green to avoid submerging the ball and after the first couple of holes I wouldn't putt all the way to the hole either because all the cups were flooding and the water was ice cold!

Andrew Cavalieri 0 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Andrew Cavalieri Rochester, NY Adidas Waterproof Jacket, Adidas Waterproof Rain Pants Each year me and 7 friends do a Ryder cup style tournament. Because it's difficult to coordinate schedules, when the dates are set.... dates are set. This past October I was in the last match play group and needed to complete our round to determine a winner. Around hole 10 it started to lightly rain. By 16 it was a DOWNPOUR! We were the only people on the golf course but had to finish to determine who won the "Whoville Cup". Safe to say we were finishing / putting through massive puddles. What a mess. Link to post Share on other sites

datko 0 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) Darrell/Pennsylvania Mizuno ImpermaLite Rain Shell and Pant 2017 playing in a 4-ball tournament. Rained sideways for the first 6 holes, then just rained steadily until the 18th. By the time we putted, all rain had stopped. We actually had the tourney luncheon outside in the sun. We ended up moving all the picnic tables into the sun. Thanks for the opportunity. This year I am actually looking to upgrade my rain gear, and this would be great!

RadRon 0 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 1. Ron/New Brunswick Canada 2. Footjoy Hydrolite 3. Living and playing in NB is a test for rain wear. Our season starts in late April or early May and we get plenty of rain until late June most years. The season extends into October which is usually cold and wet. At both ends of the season we get lots of rain and regular 'frost delays'. My worst rain experience was playing in the Year End scramble several years back - it went from steady rain to a torrential downpour. We finished the day despite flooded greens and rooster-tail putts. My Footjoy rainwear didn't cut it. A recent memorable trip to Scotland featured heavy rain on a wonderful course, Askernish, on the island of South Uist . The rain came down hard but didn't last long before the winds blew it away to reveal bright sunshine. The day was transcendent and the course was spectacular - a good example of having the appropriate equipment to save a great day of golf. Link to post Share on other sites
Blacklist 15 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Blair / Winnipeg, MB Canada Standard Adidas (unlined) rain gear. Has to be horizontal rain, I walk with a 4 wheel bag boy push cart. When its vertical rain the umbrella helps a bit but once the wind picks up and its a horizontal rain that umbrella is a joke. Up here in 1 day you can have rain, snow and then be wearing shorts for the last few holes.
