107+ Degrees Outside

[whip_it_out]

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.

[total consciousness]

114 last time I played.

[alf174]

High 70s low 80s and no rain for the next 10 days.

[powerfade]

Mid 90's, 30% humidity, with a very slight breeze.
I'll take it for this time of year.

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.

I'd rather play in 100 degree heat than sit at home because of freaking thunderstorms EVERY day.

It sucks.

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.

98 today with a heat index of 105. BTW, riding in a cart is always more fun than walking.

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.

BTW, noticed watching the Bridgestone today the temp there was 76. Glad *someone* had balmy weather!

[ElWagonne]

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

[allin]

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.

[Klean]

It was 107 with 10-20mph winds on Saturday when I played. Wasn't too bad actually, you get used to the blowdryer effect lol

[HansMoleman]

Yep, same here. 105+ almost every day. And its gonna rain soon.

[Smallville]

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.

[Dent]

Here we fluctuate inbetween 68-86* F

I live in Jacksonville. Of course I feel the heat. I've taken numerous vacations to other parts of FL and nowhere competes with JAX's humidity.
