I was wondering..

They move the tees up in weather like this. Does anyone know of any other prefessional sport where the field is adjusted for weather conditions?

Do you know of any other sport where the field doesn't have regulation dimensions for every game that is played on it?

It is very common for golf tees to be moved around. It happens at virtually every tournament. Sometimes they will even move up a few tee boxes and create a driveable par 4 that's a great risk/reward scenario.

Moving tee boxes

I understand the game and used to play. I know they move the tee boxes around all the time, but that's not usually due to special circumstancres such as rain, they just do it. The question was, and I'm not being sarcastic, is there another sport that the field changes because of the weather? I can't think of one.

And after 5.5 hours of rain delay, the first pitch of WAS/NYY just finally took place. Amazing wait.
