Nope I hate wind with a passion. Will play through light/steady rain with no issues as I have all the gear but if its gale force winds and driving rain....see you in the bar.


Lightning will get me off the course quick smart, I'll battle through the rest of the conditions.

We once had to stop play at Willunga for flooded greens- the ball physically would not roll!

Nah, just sensible ;)

Having the wife with me, already sick, helped me decide to pull up stumps early...

Not afraid of playing through rain, though, especially after one experience down at Fleurieu Golf Course...

Was playing with my best mate and it was steady, light rain through the front nine...

Stopped in at the pro-shop for a drink after 9 and the pro warned us it was going to get heavy in the back 9...

We toughed it out, in shorts and shirts, but got pounded by rain the whole back 9, almost torrential rain at times, but bloody heavy nonetheless...

We manged to finish up but were soaked through to the skin. Decided to drive home in just the boxers as everything was too wet...

Got a few interesting looks, and horn toots, from truckies coming back down the freeway, who were up high enough to see into our cab with a couple of blokes just in boxers !!!

If you were sensible you would have looked at the radar before leaving home. ;-)

Oh yeah golf with a buggy is the way to go! I have driven past Regency a few thousand times but never played it. Is it good? Looks nice and flat and open.

Fairly forgiving course with good fairways and greens. Only 9 holes with varied tee blocks if you play 18 but still a good value hit I found.

Play there regularly when I'm in town.

The par 3 second with a huge bunker guarding the green is a classic.
