jeffe 2 #161 Posted February 11, 2019 Jeff from California Rain pants from Big 5 and jacket from adidas Worst rain was a 2 man best ball tournament at Del Monte GC where we agreed with our opponents on proper placement for relief on greens to avoid running water and for shots we would line up and select club from umbrella, drop umbrella and hit, grab umbrella and try to follow ball in same motion.

griecot313 53 #163 Posted February 11, 2019 TonyG, Texas Zero Restriction Golf Tournament. Sponsor didn't want to reschedule, golfers never quit! It wasn't quite Caddy Shack storm but close. Torrential rain, mid 40's and 20 mph wind gusting to 40. Course didn't reopen for 5 days after due to flooding. Get it, it rained a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clevan 0 #164 Posted February 11, 2019 Clay/Michigan Footjoy Tour Jacket & Pants. Ogio half-zip Cold rain is the worst. Short Michigan golf seasons result in a willingness to play in some pretty terrible conditions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noname3 0 #165 Posted February 11, 2019 Mark M., Tennessee Current Gear: Proquip Px5 Stormforce Jacket Pants: Zero Restriction Worst rain in Scotland at North Berwick Golf Club West links. 18 holes of hard rain with high winds. WE WERE WET AND COLD. I’m curious if Galway Bay could have kept me warm and dry. I love playing in the rain. Golf is an outdoor sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd guess staying warm and dry as a spectator would be pretty important, wouldn't you? 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? That's what Galway Bay thinks, and they say their pants are just the ticket. TESTERS WANTED! Galway Bay came out of nowhere to tie for top honors in MyGolfSpy's Best Rain Gear testing last year. Our testers loved the fact the rain pants were actual pants, with belt loops, pockets, a zipper - you know, pants - that were also waterproof. the rain jacket was a top performer as well, with plenty of ease of movement, lightweight and snazzy looking. That's what our testers thought, but we want to know what YOU think. That's why we're looking for FOUR of you to test, review and keep a set of Galway Bay rain gear - fitted, waterproof slacks and a rain jacket (valued at a over $470). This review opportunity is open to any avid golfer in the US or Canada who's not averse to playing in a little rain. HOW TO APPLY: As you know, we take our Forum Member testing VERY seriously here at MyGolfSpy, so please read this instructions VERY carefully and apply ONLY in this thread (applying in the Comments section of the blog, while a nice gesture, doesn't count). To apply, please tell us the following: 1. First name/home state or province 2. Current rain gear 3. Worst rain you've ever played in We'll be announcing our testers in this thread next week, so make sure to check back to see if you've been selected. Good luck! 1. Bill / Connecticut 2. Plastic Pants & Jacket (Motorcyclist) 3. We played during Mathew in Charlotte NC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyCanuck 0 #167 Posted February 11, 2019 The recent review of the Galway Bay jacket and pants are awesome and equally at a reasonable price point. Since I'm travelling to Galway Bay in June and expecting to wear rain gear (at some point) in Ireland, it would be great to test out the wearability, comfort and waterproofness of the gear. 1. Max/Ontario Canada 2. Misty Mountain 3. May 2018 Toronto at Redcrest Golf Club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ayalajuan 0 #172 Posted February 11, 2019 1. Juan / New York 2. IZOD 3. Worst rain you've ever played in was back in 2006 at Stony Ford in Orange County, NY. It was coming down hard&fast and the greens were flooded. For a 12 foot putt, I had to smack like it a 60 foot putt and I still came up short. Even though the horn sounded, we played as a deciding match in our summer league and neither one of us wanted the match. Of course, when we got back to clubhouse, we were drenched. Our rain gear was only so good. I would love to test this new rain gear from Galway Bay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
