Which is worse to play in - wind or rain? No doubt that it's really miserable when you're playing in both, but if you've only got one of the elements to contend with, you can still finish your round feeling happy. For instance, if it's windy you can tell yourself that at least you'll get a helping hand when the wind's at your back. As long as you hit it straight, otherwise you're just going to be further in the trees than usual. Which gives you an advantage if you're not hitting it straight, as the ball won't reach the trees. The wind is your friend when you're playing with someone who talks too much - you can't hear them over the whistling gusts. And best of all, if you've had a really lousy score, the wind can blow that card out of your hands and off into never-never land. Rain also can be your friend. You get a free drop from casual water and you get lots of that under trees - sometimes enough to stop you going into the trees. Enough rain on the greens will create puddles which makes putting easier - it removes all borrow and you can belt the ball and not worry about a long putt coming back. And best of all, if you've had a really lousy score, the rain can make your card illegible.
