Many golfers from the Seattle, WA area have a rule called "embrace the rain" since it's very likely people will encounter rain so rather than stop all life, you just go do. There are good reasons why golfers play golf after heavy rain, here's my best list why:

---

1. It's unlikely that golfers will encounter more rain.
2. Golfers seldom need tee times after heavy rains
