Cole Hallum 0 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Cole from Cary, North Carolina. I currently use a few different selections from Peter Millar and Travis Mathew Pullovers, although not truly "rain gear." The rain season in North Carolina is truly year round and unpredictable, in stating such, I have played in rain so heavy they had to pull us from the course. Playing in the rain in NC is nothing unusual, and therefore having the opportunity to test authentic rain gear would provide a great opportunity for myself and fellow golf enthusiasts that are always attempting to brave the storm.

Alecchaseevans 15 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Alec- Dallas, TX Nike rain resistant jacket and standard golf pants. February 2018, I had committed to take a day off and play some golf on a random weekday. I had planned it out two weeks in advance for work sake. The day finally arrived, unfortunately it was 35 degrees, raining and miserable. Don’t forget, Texas winters bring NASTY 15-20mph wind. A normal human would’ve rescheduled, but I persisted on. Was it smart? No. Was it worth it? Hell no. Would it have been better with appropriate winter/rain gear? Most certainly. Texas winters are the perfect test for this gear. 🌧🥶 Driver: M6 with Graphite Design TourAD IZ 7x 3W: TS2 15.75° with Tensei AV Blue 65s 3H: TS2 19° with Tensei AV Blue 70s 4i-PW, AW: i210 with KBS 130x Wedges: Titleist Vokey SM7 55°, 60° (M-grind, 8° bounce) Putter: 2019 Phantom X7 Link to post Share on other sites
DerekTKC 0 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Derek Chow from Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Avid golfer, weekend warrior ( 8 hdcp) I always golf in the rain with the exception of a thunderstorm. My wife only allows me to play one day each summer weekend so i am almost out there regardless. I will golf in as cold as 5 degrees Celcius and as hot as mid 40s degrees Celcius. Right now, i have been using a footjoy rain shirtfor rainy summer days and for down pours, i use a Sunice gortex rain suit. There are aome significant draw backs for both. Footjoy rainshirt is not waterproof and is good only for a short period of time (on and off rain in the summer). When it's hot outside, it will stink along with sweat and require washing right after the round. For my sunice Gortex suit, it's nor very breathable in the summer and it's good for fall time. In terms of swinging a club with it...sometimes the sleeves get in the way. I feel like i made an uninformed decision before buying it. I'd love to try a golf rain suit out before buying one. Mygolfspy..i hope i can test out the Galway Bay rainsuit and providean in depth review for the community. Link to post Share on other sites

And never mind the players! I'd guess a lot of folks tripled up on pants at Pebble - some long johns, regular pants and them some pull-on rain pants. That's three pair of pants (if you count the long johns). Would just one pair of warm, waterproof pants be a better way to go?

Nigel South-East Ireland Played in torrential rain several times, remember once in Carrick On Suir GC, several of our members losing their ball on the fairway due to the terrible rain destroying the course. Holding onto the clubs was difficult that day, hands were numb with cold. Current rain gear is Callaway, also bring it to soccer, rugby & hurling matches, has saved me from many a soaking. Last year, attending several hurling matches in October, November, it is essential equipment when travelling.

Buiseed 0 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 1. First name/home state or province : Ed / Massachusetts 2. Current rain gear: Three Galvin Green Jackets and One Galvin Green Rain Trousers 3. Worst rain you've ever played in : Living in New England, I do my best to play year round including sub-freezing temps. It also means I get caught in the unpredictable New England weather many times. I don't mind playing in the rain at all and most recently got caught in a downpour at TPC Hartford. Probably about 2-3 inches of heavy rain in a short amount of time. The course called us in but we kept playing for an additional 5 holes. Fairways, Greens and sand traps. We really wanted to finish. I love the Galvin Green gear, but would also love to try the Galway Bay. Especially for the "fitted" pants. Link to post Share on other sites
