It's early Saturday morning in Melbourne and it is raining lightly, but steadily with the wind from the NW at 5k freshening to 15k this afternoon
The rain is forecast all weekend with the wind swinging around to the South.
Locals the The_Banter are tweeting about the rain and how it will affect the greens. I'd think it can only help the players get the ball closer than yesterday when just hitting the green was a problem..
Also, and this is a big factor in foursomes, guys don't like playing with another brand of ball other than their own.
For example, Dustin Johnson will have to play Tiger's Nike when Tiger tees off, and Tiger will have to play Dustin's Taylor Made TP Red LDP.
Pros select golf balls that are suited to their ball flight and and swing speed and spin rate, especially in the wind it is an important issue, so much so that players are often paired together who play the same ball.
