I watch this show called Men of a Certain Age, and on one recent episode of the show, they had players playing in pouring rain (which was an important point for the plot). Obviously everything on tv shows isn't accurate though. I thought golfers don't play through rain officially, but I don't watch golf at all, so I'm not sure. Was the show accurate in having players playing in pouring rain, during a qualifiers tournament for the senior tour? Thanks|||yes unless the course get to wet and puddles start to form
or if their is lightning around|||During rain? Yes. Only two elements would come up:
-If there is lightning they will stop playing due to the safety issue.
-If the course becomes saturated to where there is standing water that can't be squeeged off, then they will stop playing.
Beyond that, they play in the rain.
With a waterproof jacket, an umbrella, and rain gloves, playing in the rain is doable.|||The previous answers are correct. If there is no lightning, and there are no puddles forming on the course (especially the greens) then play will continue.|||Unless there are huge free-standing puddles on the greens and/or lightning in the area, golf does not stop for rain. They usually let them lift, clean and place their shots on the fairways too.|||lightning is a sure game stopper. but yes if it becomes impossible to play, one is roster tail when putting.|||Golf was invented in Scotland and played all over the UK. You have to ask if they play in rain LOL?
