Have questions you’re dying to get answered, but were too afraid to ask the veteran players? Don’t sweat it. Here is a basic, but important question that every beginner (and beyond) has pondered at some point.

Q: What am I supposed to do during a rain delay?

A: Unfortunately Mother Nature doesn’t always cooperate with our golf outings. The best thing to do when the clouds open and the rain pours down is to find things to focus on and keep your nerves in check. Rain delays are great times to make friends or deepen relationships you already have. So spend some time chatting. Or, if you’ve packed a deck of cards, round up a few girls and start up a game. A round of Euchre or Go Fish can ease the anxiety and provide a few laughs during the delay. If you’re more of the quiet type, bring a book that you can read while waiting. As the rain shows signs of lessening, give yourself time to mentally and physically prepare for hitting the course. Take a few breaths, stretch a bit and focus on the fairways ahead.
