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.

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.

      PGA Makes Changes and Adopts My Change I Wanted for Years

      By jxdama · Posted

      I  had to return to boast  just a  bit. Everyone  knows  i thought  this  is  how the Championship should  be decided. Match play is far  better than stroke  play to determine a  champion and  its  much closer to most sports  playoffs. Lose and you are  out.     Promotion, relegation and match play: PGA Tour unveils radical new structure The PGA Tour has revealed its planned changes to its competitive model, schedule and playoffs, changes that will be more substantial than any in the Tour's half-century-long history. How will the PGA Tour series wrap up its season? The current PGA Tour playoff format consists of three stroke-play events, concluding with the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Starting in 2028, the Tour's playoff system will feature match play, and will rotate through various courses. Further details will be revealed at this year's Tour Championship next month.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?

      PXG Brand

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I never heard dislike for them.  From my perspective, they are just like any other club. Though, they were always probably over-priced, until recently as other club manufacturers have been raising prices the past 5+ years. You had to wait for them to go on sale, which you can get them closer to other club manufacturers.  They sell good clubs. Nothing crazy..

      By DewSweeper09 · Posted

      Why do so many people dislike PXG clubs and constantly criticize them? All the folks at my club and especially online, I never hear good things about them except from people who bought them and defend them. They look fine to me but curious is there some sort of quality issue or is it just stereotyping the buyers.

      I have the LM1 launch monitor and I’ve been very impressed. I agree with your assessment and it’s very accurate for me and ease of use is wonderful. The price point of $199 is very hard to beat with this form factor and performance. I was previously using a PRGR.
