One tip I always found helpful as well is to practice while wearing your rain gear a few times to get use to the feel and swing change while wearing them.
Oh poor Lester he does not look happy, always enjoy your vlogs from the both of you there is a bit humour which I love but also good solid knowledge and advice. I don't mind playing in the wind and rain as long as it's not a gale force or downpour, played a few of my best rounds in steady light drizzle/rain and it's about the only time I wear gloves when playing golf chaps as started playing many many moons ago now not wearing one and felt comfortable doing so...
A lot of the seniors at my club don’t play in bad weather but then most of them are retired so can play any day they like. If I’ve a day off work I want to play, whatever the weather!
Left and right rain glove Dan 👌 also keep two sets and change - also in winter to keeps hands warm. Rain trousers and lightweight tights, hand towel around back of neck - and waterproof shoes and bag a must - oh and make sure your grips are in good order 👌
Great tips for the rain. One thing I try to do in competitive situations is, knowing that my competition probably does not want to be playing, I push hard the first few holes to get a birdie or two and get up in the match quick. I know that once I do, it will be much harder for them to catch me given the worsening conditions.
Bunker tip good! Best ever tip has to be the rain gloves, Mrs bought me some last Xmas and put them to use recently, feel rubbish at first but once they are damp they are superb
I personally rarely play in the rain over the summer. Fear of lightning is a big issue, plus I’m getting wimpier as I get older! You boys who get to play all “winter” should be experts in rain play. Our rain in the winter is called snow 😃 Poor Lester btw! However, I can see him racking up quite a tab!!
best advice I can offer: always carry and use two umbrellas. Keep one on the push buggy keeping you dry while you push the bag, and take the second brolly with you when you need to move away from the bag e.g. looking for balls or waiting to putt on the green. I haven't worn wet weather gear in forever, no need.
Lots of good advice, have used the FJ Rain gloves for years, always get funny looks when I wipe my hand on the wet grass as soon as I put it on, wetter the better!!
My best tip for playing in the rain..... put the bag back in the car, head to the clubhouse and you have at least 4 hours before the Mrs is expecting to hear from you.... boom, you’re welcome!! 😂
Great tips dan pretty much use all of them also pick and place on the short stuff so you can clean the ball too and great when you still able to use your trolly so the umbrella is up all the time to keep towels and gloves as dry as poss
Good tips guys and like the way you took us through each scenario - I'm a bit like both of you in the rain - lots of spare gloves but rain gloves as well - wasn't a fan to start with but am now sold on them as they really work! Stay safe guys and hope you can make lock down work for you!
Comedy gold from Fairweather Lester. Please replace all divots and Mars Bars. Great video Dan on how to get ahead in the rain. I've recently bought some waterproof trousers for winter golf. Only one problem. Still I've saved this video for later when golf is allowed :-)
“You no longer have an account with us” 😂😂 Whenever we can play golf again on our course, mats are compulsory everywhere. But that’s a whole different vlog! Great video gents. 👍🏻 (Lester proper minced out of there 😂)
Always go with the trusty Galvin Green suit, expensive purchase but served me well over the years. Two towels, and a separate ball cleaner, always. No gloves for me, but something you didn’t mention, footwear. Footjoy DryJoy Tour shoes, best ever made. Feet have to be dry. I was slightly worried what was going to pop out of Lesters bag when he turned it upside down!
@@ianbarton2581 I am talking about Footjoy Dry Joy Tour shoes. If yours leaked after that short a time, there is something called a guarantee, I would certainly have used it.
@@andrewjohnston5942 I did but they only last 9 months and the guarantee was only 3 months for those. I asked them why they couldn't make a pair of shoes that last at least a year and got no reply. Very poor. Agree about Galvin green best suits ever
@@ianbarton2581 my pair of Dry Joy Tours have so far lasted 5 years. No leaks. I buy a pair of normal Dry Joys every other year, never had a problem. Any Footjoy products I’ve bought from Pro Shop or Golf retailer, always have a 12 month guarantee. They would’ve been sent straight back to Footjoy after failing in 9 months.
@@andrewjohnston5942 the 2nd pair only gets what is remaining from 1st pair, so 9 months/3 months. I even spoke to their shoe fitting guy and he had no answers other than they have a 1 yr guarantee. I now have under armor speiths with 2 yr guarantee and no problems
I always have a pair of rain gloves and will wear waterproofs. Dependant on the forecast, I will err on the side of caution and have thin layered clothes that mean I don't feel restricted. A short sleeve waterproof top over a base layer is good for most summer rain.
Maybe a point, give the clubs a good dry down, stops the shafts getting rusty (unless your a graphite fanboy), also fill shoes with newspaper and leave to dry, so no mouldy shoes next time you venture out.
Must admit I am a fairweather golfer as well - but do agree that if I don't want to others won't either and it could get into their heads and end up giving me the win. Would you only wear the one wet weather glove or have 1 on each hand...
Hi Dan just wondering if you could help when it gets into winter and the ground gets softer I really struggle from around 40-50 yard pitch shots with my 60 deg wedge I regularly fat the shot, great video content really good playing vlogs.
Cricky, did Lester paint his trousers on today ??? He's too old for those now he's north of 40 !! I also loved his acting, you no longer have an account ! Flounced out in fine style ! He was so good he could be a soap star ! Take care of yourselves over the next month, I think golf will open in a week or 2 once it looks like people are complying with lockdown. Lets hope anyway. Lester, help yourself to the Mars Bar stock to get you through lockdown, you have my permission !! Leave the cheery flapjacks though, Dan is having those ! Can't wait for the Masters, at least there will be more coverge this year and from our point of view, it gives us something to do during lockdown.
Hate playing golf in the rain. Can’t think of anything worse! Impossible to keep things dry. Never tend to trust forecasts and rain has cost be a win this season!
I'm amazed how many people get clubs etc wet. My top tips to stop this: Put cover over top of golf bag to stop rain getting in, keep grips dry by keeping clubs out of bag for minimum time possible, take golf glove off between shots and keep dry in pocket, keep a dry towel in bag pocket if possible, when waiting to play shot e.g. when putting keep grip protected under brolly. Get a waterproof bag can be a good thing. Rain gloves can be great.
The steps I follow when raining, is I get up and look outside. Then if it’s raining, I take a shower, eat breakfast and then watch Line of Duty all day.
Rain gloves are excellent. I couldn't play in the rain without them. Point to note, not many waterproof bags are waterproof! Also, don't leave your plastic bag open inside the bag! Defeats the purpose. Love the challenge of playing in the rain.
I can feel a series of videos on clothes bubbling up? Base layers. Gloves, Hats, Waterproof trousers vs over trousers. Waterproof Jackets with zips vs Smocks that go over your head. High tech vs wool and cotton. Life has moved on so far in the last 10 years - the days when I would wear three pullovers and two pairs of trousers and two layer hats, long gone. Then food and drink in the wet / winter. And as play starts to get slow in the winter can you recommend some camping gas stoves we can use on the tee?
I would love to play golf in the rain in January , Unfortunately living in Canada the rain solidifies into ice thus causing your face and hands to fall off.
Proper wind and rain at the weekend. Trolleys being blown over, umbrella’s snapped (don’t know why they had them up but hey ho). I usually cope ok with the rain but had a knockout comp and didn’t do so well 😖 Anyway, no golf for a month (hopefully only a month) but it’ll be wet when we get back you can be sure... 👍🏻
Rain @ 70°F not a problem.. rain @ 40°F that is not happening.. I've only played 51 rounds of golf this season (July to current).. and not one round was played in the rain.. although I have my rain gear in the bag at all times..

Cheers Dan and Lester a fun video but good Ideas . I was about to say that I hang a towel inside my umbrella then Lester showed that .😂😂😂😂👍👍👍
This is a great video Dan. I've never thought much about playing in the wet. I just try to survive.
😂☔️
Lester, I would never close your account, my friend!! Great video gents. Very helpful indeed.
Brilliant brilliant brilliant tips - “you no longer have an account with us” 😂😂😂

Some great tips, fellas. Unfortunately, most of my golf buddies would never play in the rain; therefore I don't much either.
Superb video! Thanks very much for all the tips! 🙌👍 Keep up the great work guys 👏
Cheers Dan/Lester great advice. Not much ☔️ here in Aus WA, more likely to get heatstroke!
I didn’t realise you guys work in American Golf Torquay! Looks massive. Great tips.
Love it Dan!! More of this also!!
Some great on course tips and some great tips on clothing and gloves and always make sure your in credit in the pro shop 😂
Pure gold....thanks guys. So helpful. 👍

Dan great video. Great tips and useful information
good information and at the right time of year, more seasonal tips needed
I used to get rained off work (bricklayer) and head straight to the course for a game! Rain doesn't bother me... I've got all the gear haha
some great tips there, thank you.
Great video and very good and valid advice. Well done for doing this......Brilliant.
Lots of good advice, have used the FJ Rain gloves for years, always get funny looks when I wipe my hand on the wet grass as soon as I put it on, wetter the better!!
Very useful video. I learnt a lot thanks.
Great video Dan
That's a great little vlog... More them please Dan and Lester 💪 handy for me as I enjoy playing in the rain but not the wind 🙈
Excellent tips, thank you
Love this 🙃 thanks guys.
Thanks for the tips guys, I'm can't wait to see Lee Whitakers golf lessons, so any heads up on where and when . .
Love golf in the rain.

Don't mind a little rain, like you say. But any lightning, I am gone. Cheers from Texas. 🤠
Some good tips in there Paul’s brother
Fascinating tips, many thanks Dan! Rains make everything so much more complicated, all my little routines get lost...in an effort to keep all dry.
Very useful information Dan, well done!
Wow never thought of the towel on the umbrella
Fantastic content as always Dan, your tips and techniques are alway very informative. Keep up this great channel Dan 👍👍

I preferred winter competitions, seemed to even the field up a bit, no high handicappers banging in 43 points. Not such an issue now living in Oz.
Any tips for chipping off wet muddy lies? Thanks!
I think TXG did a vid on the flyer / reverse flyer. The loft used makes a huge difference to how it reacts. Also worth checking out
Oscar winning performance from Lester, wasted talent on a golf channel

Where do you put your umbrella when u r taking a shot if you are carrying?
Cracking thank you
What about excepting you might not play aswell ?
How about prepping that you will grind ?
Some of this is WAY over my head. Can you do some slow motion videos when you hit the ball??

Hate playing golf in the rain. Can’t think of anything worse! Impossible to keep things dry. Never tend to trust forecasts and rain has cost be a win this season!
Once played with someone who pulled out a pair of marigolds when it started raining ... worked for him, apparently!

Nooooo.....golf videos from sunny courses in Asia all day.
Dan, how often should you consider changing your Water Proof Jacket.
Either if it’s leaking, you want a different look or find something that gives you more freedom 👍
Go on let him have a mars bar, poor lad looks famished !!
Waterproof bag essential
Rain gloves are excellent. I couldn't play in the rain without them. Point to note, not many waterproof bags are waterproof! Also, don't leave your plastic bag open inside the bag! Defeats the purpose. Love the challenge of playing in the rain.
Lester is tighter that the wallpaper.
Love the rain, hate the wind - no golf glove in any weather
Great suggestions! Here's my suggestion: Give poor Lester an account so he's not hungry and thirsty on the course, lol.
We tried that, he over spent
or did he under pay...teehee
I can feel a series of videos on clothes bubbling up? Base layers. Gloves, Hats, Waterproof trousers vs over trousers. Waterproof Jackets with zips vs Smocks that go over your head. High tech vs wool and cotton. Life has moved on so far in the last 10 years - the days when I would wear three pullovers and two pairs of trousers and two layer hats, long gone.

Marigolds- always found them to be the best thing in the rain.
😂
You no longer have an account with us 😂 bet that’s been said a few times not in jest
It’s hard enough 🤪🤪⛳️
Give the lad a Mars bar you can see he needs it🤷♂️😂😂😂
Hot drink!
What is happening, are golf courses closing in second lockdown ?
Yes in England 👍
I can smell 👃 those old gloves 🧤 from here 🤣
Lester is not a mudder, eh? LOL "You no longer have an account with us." LOL!
I would love to play golf in the rain in January , Unfortunately living in Canada the rain solidifies into ice thus causing your face and hands to fall off.
Best tip for playing Golf in the rain...…."Don't"...….just stay nice and dry in the Clubhouse Bar!
An get wet on the inside 🥃
I solved all of these problems by moving to Thailand!
Proper wind and rain at the weekend.
Trolleys being blown over, umbrella’s snapped (don’t know why they had them up but hey ho).
I usually cope ok with the rain but had a knockout comp and didn’t do so well 😖
Anyway, no golf for a month (hopefully only a month) but it’ll be wet when we get back you can be sure...

Great video, thanks Dan , and please reinstall Lesters account 🤣🏌️♂️⛳️🍻
Why golf in the rain?! You use those days to catch up on the chores you've been neglecting, because of all the golf you've been playing! ;-)
If it rains take a buggy
You no longer have an account with us 🤣🤣🤣
Put it on my account😂😂
Na, fook the rain. I can handle a bit of wind, but rain. No thanks.
You no longer have a account here 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
I play better in the wind I like to punch my shots more
