Rain a necessary evil on the cours

we finally had a whole weekend of l� rj lel
sunshine. •

The wind and rain took the weekend off
leaving golfers in high spirits to begin the
month of May. Yes May! The sound of the -
month conjures up images of spring flowers,
sunburned forearms, rototillers, and at long
last golf. Now we'll really see some great
weather! You're right, we probably will see
some great weather, but remember this is
southwestern ' Ontario, adjacent to the
largest lakes in the world. Even in June
we'll get some turtleneck days so be
prepared for rain, wind and cooler
temperatures.
Rain! It keeps the grass green and the
fairways soft underfoot. Rain can make the
greens superintendent's life so much easier
if it comes regularly. A nice warm rain
every couple of nights would be the answer
to most golfer's dreams. However, rain, like
everything else, appears when it appears.
Golfers may not like it but they learn to play
in it. No one plans to go golfing in the rain,
but chances are you're eventually going to
get caught in it.
Keeping dry and comfortable while golf-
ing In a downpour or a drizzle is half the bat-
tle in the war against high scores. A good
breathable rainsuit is a must. It should have
a roomy jacket with flap pockets to keep the
rain out: The pants should be loose enough to
be pulled over golf slacks (without taking off
your shoes) and either have pockets or give
access to pockets. The new "silent" rain -
suits are popular becausa the mist!, swish
of the old suits drove some golfers crazy.
Umbrellas are a must too, but if it's windy

the _ umbrella may be too awkward to han-
dle. Waterproof shoes will ensure dry feet,
and should be of the spiked variety.,for good
gripping in wet grass. A hat or visor will
shield the eyes and facefrom rain. If it's
really pouring a towel around the neck will
make you more comfortable. Special all-
weather gloves have been developed for use
in wet weather. Have an extra glove in your
bag as well as a couple of toweL, one for
you, one for your clubs.
Now that you look like a pro, here's how to
play like one. If you're in competition hire a
caddy. Believe me this may be the best
move you make on the day of a rainy com-
petition. It's impossible to juggle unbrella,
towel, and clubs, as well as attend the flag
stick and write down the score on a soggy
scorecard (especially with a dull pencil).
The caddy will be an extra pair of hands if
nothing else.
Wrap a dry hanky around wet grips pr
before going out wrap the grip in gauze tape.
Plan your shots while under the umbrella
and dry the clubface before each shot. If
you're playing winter rules, clean and dry
the ball at every opportunity. Your spikes
will clog up quickly so scrape the shoe soles
often with a tee or divot tool.
Techniques' require that you tee the ball
slightly higher (unless into the wind) and
this will give you more air time. There's not
going to be much roll if conditions are
soggy. Keep the swing short and in control
with a firm grip. Don't "under club" and try
to keep the ball in safe positions. Soggy sand
and deep grass are deadly in the wet. There
will be less bounce and roll, less carry, and
less break on putts. Putt short putts firmly
and try to sweep iron shots off the fairway
with no divot. The rule book gives relief
from casual water so take advantage of it.
Then you'll be a good "mudder".
The month of May is relatively quiet at the
local course. There is the usual Monday
