How do you play in the rain when you carry?

[C_rad]

Could you elaborate on how you manage the umbrella between shots, when you putt...

 

looks like the push cart offer a clear advantage when it comes to play in the rain.

It depends on how windy it is.

if no/light wind, lay your bag down then the umbrella down, top to the wind.

if windy, no umbrella. Shit’s going to get wet. Rain gear, rain gloves. Embrace it.

Turn around and walk directly to the clubhouse. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200, etc....

Very rarely do I carry an umbrella. I just have goretex rain gear and a Seaforth rain hood for the bag.

Amen, rain gear, rain gloves, and good grips. If you can't keep it all dry, you need to have stuff that works even when its wet.

Yeah, b.helts nailed it. If no wind, I'll carry my umbrella and slide it in the club slot when hitting a shot. And set it down on the green when putting. If it's windy, no umbrella. Just suck it up and know you're going to get wet. I have a Kjus jacket and pants and wore them in Ireland and was drier than anyone in my group. I wanted one of the rain hats with a brim and waited to get to Ireland to get one but was so windy at the course I bought a goretex beanie instead. Kept my head dry but face was still wet. Lol.

Couple of variables.

wind and cold I’m guessing a few friends show up and you all go to the 19th

wind and warm. Get wet.

warm get wet.

my most memorable rounds are often played in adverse weather. Like above good grips and gloves and get wet I have always dried out

Don't carry. It's just too complicated.

Clicgear with the adjusted/extended umbrella handle. BIG Ogio umbrella. Rain cover for my golf bag. Rain gloves. Goretex shoes and jacket. Water repellent pants. Then just play golf.
