Know Your Course: Weather Conditions
Sunny weather can be very conducive for most sports enthusiasts.
The scorching heat of the sun can even boost ones stamina to do
better in any game. However, ever knew of any game that can be
played even when there's a rainstorm? Surely, not many people
can enumerate any sport that can be executed even when its
raining hard.
All sports, especially those played outdoors are affected by the
changes in weather conditions. The first to be really impacted
upon are the players who have to adjust physically, mentally,
and emotionally -- factors which often dictate what could happen
at the end of the game.
Playing golf entails proper training in order to hit the tee
perfectly under a gloomy climate. Weather conditions, for
example, since it affects the growth and texture of the grass,
have a big impact on the leveled surface vital to a golfer's
performance. This is usually called "throwing darts", it means
that the ball and the shots are not high enough which results in
lower points.
Remember that the conditioning of the green can influence the
game of the golfers and the golf course operation. That is why
the a change of strategy is helpful when playing golf during bad
weather since golf is a game that is specifically dependent on
the weather.
When there is low humidity and dryer soil, the greens are
maintained more easily. That is why golfers often play during
fall or spring. The favorable and consistent sunny skies and
growth of the turf allows a considerable and reliable time for
golfers to hold their tees.
The roughs can become heavier which makes it difficult for shots
to recover when soaked in water. Water ends up between the ball
and the clubface because of the fewer spins than a normal spin.
Bad consequences are then more inevitable after an off-line
shot. This is when a good golf playing strategy during wet
weather is needed for it will be more considerable to have the
ball always elevated off the grass as fast as possible. During
these situations, footprints and marks of the ball are deeper
and the sad part is that scores tend to be lower. When this
happens, extra effort is needed for the player to end with
better scores.
