The 54-hole tournament has experienced completely dry conditions once in history. The tournament will be played in rain, but not in a heavy downpour. The tournament could be adjusted to 36 holes on a particular day to address bad weather. The Skills Challenge and replay round in this order will be activities removed from the itinerary as needed. The tournament can also be adjusted for 27 holes on two days if heavy rain is expected.

Very wet conditions prior to the tournament can attract an obscene amount of mosquitos. It is recommended that players obtain plenty of insect repellent for MULTIPLE golfers if the golf course receives lots of rain prior to arrival. Absorbine Jr. works well.

The cooler morning temperatures could require a pullover jacket. Umbrellas, drizzle sticks, rain suits and towels should be packed.
