My group was scheduled to play when rain was predicted. I chose to stay home and two decided to play. The downpour hit when they were on the fourth green at Palmetto. They waited for the rain to die down momentarily and then finished the hole despite the green being drenched. They got a text or call from the starter shack telling them to get off the course. They did.

It was most certainly because of the rain and the possibility of damaging the course.
