Going out on bad days

[crusadersounds]

Played in a snowstorm yesterday, so, yeah, I play when it's not the greatest out there. Now, the other day, we were under a tornado warning, so I didn't play, but it usually takes natural disasters or temps well below zero to keep me inside.

I'll play in any weather. I don't mind hot days at all. I'll play in a 100 degree day over a downpour. No question.

 

[mickas]

last week we had tornadoes and it was 80 degrees, now we have 6 inches of snow on the ground again...yay!

 

[E-man]

I will walk in water that has ice floating in it.

Aint no body gonna hold me down, oh no, I gotz to keep on throwin'

more pics and videos later, but we played in the rain and heavy wind on a flooded course. I lost 2 swedish putters .

Pic is Cheifstang and a friend of his

Played in some standing water like that before. Sure makes you focus on that putt! But ice? You're a madman!

That was by far the worst conditions I've played in as well (at Shore Acres with the 3ft+ drifts and gusty winds). I actually got stuck in the snow at one point it was so deep.

:hfive:

I voted yes because any day of discing is better than none.

 

[chuckdisc]

wind, rain, snow, tornado, hurricane, earthquake, or wild fire I don't care I'll be playing.

same here..

 

[hooked312]

yea I went out today and it was pretty nasty (cold/windy). Makes you enjoy the nice days that much more

 

[notBOB]

i have, and will again, play in just about every condition possible. one of the most memorable: teeing off 18 amidst tornado sirens and blacky green skies. yep, parked it for the deuce before gtfo

 

[DiscingBen]

I do. Being on the Palouse you have no other option than to play with wind. Me and my DG buddies are stoked on the few days a year that there is no wind, we get to play the actual course and not the wind

 

[snappyfingers]

I live in Southern California so my idea of a "bad" day is much different than most people on the planet :|

 

[KaosDiscGolf]

Wind doesn't bother me, but I'm not playing in rain or snow, unless its in a tournament that I've already paid for. I also hate the cold!

 

[LeewayeDiscGolf]

I've noticed I'm more likely to play a bad day during winter when cabin fever sets in. Less likely to play a bad day during summer if I'm playing solo. If I made plans with somebody or it's a tourney then you can bet I'll be there.

jesus, take your friggin panties off. do you need a caddy every round too? im guessin your the guy playin every shot from the fairway and throw from the super, super short tees. maybe you should stay home tomorrow, might be a chance of slight pussy eatin weather

 

[notBOB]

How do you know it's bad until you play?

How do you know it's bad until you play?

Maybe 'cause I'm a bit older...I always watch the Weather Channel before I go out.

I voted "If I'm talked into it". However, I'll play in any weather if it's for money. If it's not for money, I will need to be talked into playing....but it's not hard.

I meant bad day as in play. not weather. I'll play any weather if I'm inside long enough but I throw best when it's above 60 and dry.

Drove about a hundred miles the other week to play a new course. Raining when I left, raining the whole time I was playing.

Woke up one Saturday morning when I was in OK and an ice storm / blizzard had rolled in. I grabbed my bag and jetted for Griffin Park. Even before I had breakfast.
I actually prefer playing in cold weather, and the colder the better. :thmbup:
Plus there's the additional benefit of usually having the course all to myself.

Played Redhawk in Tulsa when most of the course was ankle deep in water. That's why I carry extra shoes and socks with me.

Here in NW Florida, it gets oppressively hot in the peak of summer and I slow down a good bit then. The only time I'll leave a course though is when the lightning starts. If you haven't been caught out in a summer electrical storm in the south, you don't know what scary is.

 

[simpletwist]

I don't have enough sense to stay out of the rain, snow, wind... I guess that's one lesson from my Mom that didn't stick.

 

[garublador]

I'll play in the wind, but I'll choose a course that's not as windy. I'll play down to the 30's-40's as long as it's not snowy and/or wet out (including snow on the ground). Otherwise I'm a total fair weather golfer. I don't like being out in bad weather and disc golf is a hobby so I don't see any reason for me to play in bad weather. I have plenty of other stuff I like doing to keep me busy instead.
