107 degrees. Plus, the average heat index has been 6+ degrees warmer than actual temperature. no wind too, so no natural fan.


It's taken away our ability to walk. When the sun is shining on you with this heat, walking takes too much out of you, and it's to the point where its unhealthy. It really sucks. I've really started to hate the carts. Walking makes the game more enjoyable,IMO, and we cant for another month and a half.

Oh well, anyone else feeling the heat?

It hasn't been in the 100's, but it's been close plus a ton of humidity. It makes a bad round even worse.

I live in Palm Springs and play more often in the summer time because the rates are great and the snowbirds and tourists have left. 108F is the average high during the summer and 115F+ isn't uncommon. Its a nice dry heat though and I try to get out before 6am. On the rare occasion that we get high heat with humidity it is miserable.

It's pretty brutal here (Galveston County) at the minute, hanging around the 100 mark with oppressive humidity. We have been trying to get out early but there's no wind at dawn so its still pretty miserable. We actually quit on the 14th hole this morning, bit of a late one last night and just weren't enjoying ourselves enough to keep going.

99.9 with 88% humidity today in the Kansas City area according to weatherunderground.com. A bit more breezy than it was yesterday (not a bit of wind yesterday). It should be this way until Wednesday. We get at least a couple of weeks of this every year.

A cart sucks compared to what? Sitting at home? I agree it's better to walk but when it's bordering dangerous to walk, the cart suits me fine.

I used to do the walking too but here in TX, it's near impossible. Especially when the next five day forecast reads like this.....106, 102, 97 (rain), 100, 100, 100

It was 101 yesterday, with 80%+ humidity. I walked 18 and then hit a bucket and practiced my short game. I know I am weird, but heat just doesn't bother me as long as I get plenty of liquids. I am 52. I must get it from my father. We walked 63 holes one day with upper 90s temps. he was 62 at the time. I am a complete wimp in the cold though.

I try not to golf when it gets over 100 unless I am on a golf vacation in Scottsdale. And then we get the earliest tee time as we can so we can be done by 10:00 and be in the pool slamming beers by noon. You can play some awesome courses for very little money during the summer rates in Arizona.

Here in KC 100 and humid is not that fun to play in; 90-95 in the summer is about our limit - - - it's just not fun.

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...

      Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target.

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.

      OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
