Im just north of ATL and i played about 3 weeks ago. The forecast said it was going to hit 103. So I look at my weather app on hole 3 and it says 108.  It was complete hell. NO wind, NO clouds, just heat out the ass.

I drunk 12 bottles of water that day and did not pee once.  That tells you how much I was losing.

I grew up in atlanta, sandy springs to be exact. I live in Oklahoma now. This past Saturday I started at 8:30am and by the time I finished it was 104. I find it real hard to get motivated to practice when the temp is in the upper 90's.

I have played about 25 rounds in Las Vegas over the years, but there was one day over 120 that stands out. I think we were the only two people out on the course (Desert Pines), so we played in 2:45 and I tied my career best round of 72!

My Tools of Ignorance:

Driver: Ping I20 9.5*
Woods/Hybrids: Cobra AMP 3W and 3 HY

Irons: Cobra AMP 4-GW

Wedges: Callaway Forged Copper 56* and 60*

Putters: Scotty Cameron  35" (Several of the flow neck blade variety)

Ball: Bridgestone B330-RX and Srixon Z-Star

Bag: Nike Performance Carry

I live in Columbia South Carolina where the motto for our city is literally "Famously Hot". During summer, and last month even, we get temperatures in the 100's but with the 100% humidity and no wind the heat index can get as high as 115-120 degrees. It is ridiculous Heat and hard to breathe if you aren't from here but I've lived in SC all my life and love the heat. All my northern friends stay in so I have to play with myself or random groupings but as long as you stay hydrated and maybe soak a towel with water and wipe your head/face/neck, it isn't too bad.

In March (2012) I played 3 rounds in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). High temperatures were between 105 and 108. 4 to 5 bottles of water per 18-hours. Then 10 rounds in Thailand (Pattaya and Bangkok) where it was a cool 96 to 98.

Yesterday. It was 106, and to us Canadians, that is as bad as sitting in the fires of hell. I hate heat. To me, 70-80* is the perfect temperature.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

Seemore Si-4 Black Nickel Putter

Amen to that. My wife and I live in southeast Oklahoma, very humid. We are seriously considering moving to the state of Washington where her parents live. If the temp reaches 80 it's a heat wave.

I'm 62 and my regular golf buddy is 59--we strictly walk and play in Louisiana. Typically 95 with 90% humidity--played the other day with a 78 year old walker who still

caddies for one of the areas top amateurs. He is using a new type of umbrella in a push cart holder that reflects almost all of the sun's heat--the difference under it is amazing

compared to a standard umbrella and they are less than $ 25.

    • Wordle 1,830 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 what can I say? I’m embarrassed it took me five.
    • that is an excellent approach. I did that with my last set. I made a few 7 irons from different heads and shafts. Getting a feel for how they play on the course is the right idea. Let us know how it goes.
    • I’m glad the USGA booted some of the hecklers. It’s getting out of hand. I wish the networks wouldn’t mic the crowd to give those idiots a platform.
    • New member here, and I have decided to upgrade my clubs. I have been playing for a long time but these last 10 years I have had to put four kids through college. So I've played a few rounds a year and some years have not played at all. I am currently playing Titleist 716 AP2's with Rifle 6.5 steel shafts and Winn grips. I used to hit my 7 iron around 165 yds until just 5 years ago. I turned 62 this year and noticed I can barely get my 7 iron to 145 yds. I went for a fitting to try out some new player distance irons. I don't think I need game improvement irons because I'm pretty straight and rarely try to work a ball (if I'm working a ball, then I most definetely did something wrong to get there). I tried a bunch of irons (Callaway, Mizuno, PXG, Taylormade, Srixon, Ping, and Titleist) and I kept coming back to the Ping and Titleist. They just felt right and really looked good when lining up a shot. The Ping, by far, went the longest of all the irons. The Titleist was a close second in distance. Both felt buttery smooth through impact. I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with these irons. I was getting 160 yds with a nice smooth swing (81 mph swing speed). I know I'm asking a lot of my clubs but my last fitting was 27 years ago and I ended up with some Cleveland TA3's or TA2's forged irons with Dynamic Gold S300 (swing speed 87 mph). I really love the feel of my AP2's and the place I'm going to purchase from is going to make a 7 iron in both Ping and Titleist for me to test on real grass. I'm pretty certain it's going to be either one. They're both identical in price for a set of 5-PW. I'm going to forego a 4 iron and get another 4 hybrid to go along with my 3 hybrid. Any and all replies are welcome.
    • Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month.
