Why do people play golf in the rain? It’s not fun - really!

OK, if you live in a sunny country you might say that nobody round here does play in the rain. I’ve lived in the UK for many years, and I have to say that the Brits don’t let a cold, drissley, cloudy, damp day stop them from standing around in the wind and rain, soaking up the damp from the wet grass. But then, I’ve just described a typical day in the UK. If they weren’t prepared to play in the rain, when would they play? The British golf clubs would be out of business.

But is golf that interesting that it’s actualy fun to stand there in the rain? I don’t think so. It’s more likely that the golfers are so desperate to get out the house that they’ll do anything that legitimately requires they have to be outside. Plus most club houses have a bar.

And you can always say that you’re discussing business when you go to play golf. Even if one of your golfing buddies runs a Burger-King and the other one a brothel. Your wife/partner isn’t likely to find out, is she/he?
