Yeah. Thanks. It's cooking up here and supposed to get worse before it gets better. No golf for a few days 'til it cools down a bit for me.

You're missing out, then.  I've played golf in 110, and it can be great.

BUT.

It has to be weather you want in order for you to enjoy it, and you have to take appropriate cautions.  Excess of 100 (559 K), I'll almost always use a riding cart.  I drink plenty of water in any temperature, but I'm more careful to do so -- and I drink more -- in the extra hot weather.  I barely played in the desert last summer, and I don't remember how the courses treated water.  Pre-Covid, lots of the summer courses had plentiful water and ice, and I typically knew where the dispensers were for courses I played regularly.  Of course, sun cautions are important too:  large hat, plenty of sunscreen, and so on.  In this weather, I'd also bring a spray bottle.

But again, it's only nice weather if it's what you want, and you have to be careful during it.

Stay safe everyone experiencing heat.  I'm probably heading out to the desert for the holiday and I'll be sure to enjoy it, but I'll be careful too!

They need to be extra careful. It will be 115 degrees with 28% humidity. Its easy to get heat stroke.

I wonder what the equivalent is: 90° and 80%?

You hit it almost spot on. I had to pull up an online calculator, but 115 degrees with that low humidity has a heat index around 116 degrees. 

At 90 degrees, its like 84% humidity.

93 was the high for us today according to our home weather system.  Supposed to be hotter tomorrow. 72 inside today - thank you Willis H. Carrier.

I'm curious how crowded or not the golf courses are in heat wave area. Are people staying in or some braving the heat?

I played in Simi Hills, CA yesterday.  It seemed pretty crowded, although I was in a tournament.  There were plenty of players before and after us and still going off the first tee when my group finished.

Sunday, we still had a busy day. Almost normal play at 95 degrees. Monday it was dead as it hit 100-102, morning wave had like 50-60 players. Even yesterday was slower despite some relief from heat. Today will be back to normal. 

Monday was a pro am day, luckily I had a 7:39 tee off and a cart. Still got really tired that day after the round. 

My high temperature, for the house, was 87. No fun for my long haired mountain dog. Luckily we have space AC units but it can only do so much.

    • To your second point - I think we all have seen videos of top tour players hitting balls on the range and they call out the distance before getting the number from trackman - and they are amazingly accurate. But on the course they will occasionally hit a shot longer than they intended. (the commentators invariably attribute it to nerves/wind gust/adrenaline etc.) I think maybe the "environment" inside the venue is affecting their senses/feel. Which brings up a question in my mind as to how important are a players senses involved in the golf shot. What percentage is "feel" versus "mechanics". In my case, anecdotally, I have a harder time getting the distance correct if I cannot see the bottom of the flag stick.   PS:   
    • He said: “Yeah. So tech wise and numbers wise, look, I've had the same concerns, I guess, just from I hadn't obviously played a match,” McIlroy said Tuesday at Pebble Beach Golf Links, where he is preparing for his first PGA Tour event of the season at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. “I went in there on Wednesday, and I brought two other launch monitors with me. I brought my GCQuad, I brought my TrackMan. Obviously, hitting balls into the screen and every number was virtually identical. That put my concerns to bed, which was really good. I hit balls in there for 90 minutes.” I wonder, though, if the lights were different, or something like that caused some of the issues. Again, if you tell Tiger it's 100 yards, he's gonna hit it 100 yards, not 130. Even if he's blindfolded.
    • Are TGL simulators accurate and why are players struggling in the bunkers? Rory McIlroy has answers | Golf News and Tour Information | GolfDigest.com

    • As usual, this is difficult to answer without seeing your swing. So, my first suggestion is to start a My Swing Thread.  After that, my next best guess is that you fade (slice) your driver more than your 3-wood.  I once played with a guy who had such a glancing blow with his driver that I could out drive him with my 6 iron.  Get with a good instructor and learn to hit your driver properly. Even with 93 mph swing speed you should be able to hit your driver 210-230.
