No, it may rain again and you might get caught short.
Also the ball will stop shorter and no roll as far as the ground will be softer

I've played a lot in the rain. No problem but some things you have to keep in mind:
-you driving will be different - here often your ball will plug in the fairway and carry and roll is nonexistent. Where the ball lands is where it stays,
- at the same time, greens are softer and often a ball hit to a green will stop right where it lands. Greens are slower in the rain, too.
- bunker shots in wet sand can be an adventure. You feel like you are shoveling out a hole with all that wet sand.
- you get wet (duh) and you may get cold. Gortex is great for golf. Your golf glove may also need more changing as a wet glove is a problem om that it gets slippery.
But otherwise, you'll find the course much less crowded and you may be able to get around much faster.
Dress for it and enjoy.
Oh yeah, none of the above applies to thunderstorms. Then the best way to enjoy golf is on the television.

I live in the Pac Northwest, most years, thats the only way we could golf at all outside of August and September.
just make sure you go to a *dry course* that is, on that has been designed with wet conditions in mind so that there is less interference of standing water and the like.

It's fine, you could even go while it's still raining! The greens will be a bit soft and not as fast. If you don't mind wet feet, there's no problem going after it rains.

it has its pros and cons. the pro is if your new at golf and you hit the green your ball will not bounce off becase the lack off your back spin and makes you look good. con is that if you miss the green short it wont roll on the green it will stop dead and it will be harder to chip it close to the hole

no, because the water will slow down your put if you are putting a long shot and wont break to
the hole right, and the ball wont travel as far because the air is still heavy and damp.
