Summer Heat

[marto97]

I played yesterday and it was by far the nicest day yet this spring. Temp was around 28*C and man what a difference it made as far as distance was concerned. I used a new Bridgestone B330S and was averaging 285 yds off the tee, with my longest drive being 316 yds.(I use a sky caddie GPS). This was easily 10 to 12 yds further than any other ball I have used this season. I have a golfer's handbook and keep track of my stats. Lately I've also been tracking what ball I've been using. I guess now that it's hot out, to make a fare comparison I will have to go back to each brand of ball I've used and try again. Man I love summer long drives and short skirts. lol

I think for me, summer heat works the other way around. For every degree above 85 (30*C), add a stroke to my score. Multiply that by two if it's a humid day. I wilt pretty quickly on a hot, muggy day, and my scorecard shows. Drinking gallons of water doesn't help much, within the first few holes I'm soaked in sweat and unable to focus on much else.

Try some Gator aid, lots of those elcetrolites, cold wet towels for your head and neck, maybe.

I should go the extreme route and buy one of those cart covers, and rig up a window air conditioner to a generator mounted on the back of the cart where one of the golf bags goes. "Wheee... cool comfort even out in the middle of the golf course." or something like that, yeah.
