aw comon man ... thats weak !     Take a cart if you have to.     Just kidding - it gets plenty hot up here in the N/E - never played golf where it's truly hot.      I think I would still do it - load up on the sunscreen and drink water by the jug.

damn man, sorry to hear about your situation.

op: i've done 20k ruck marches with full battle rattle in the service in the middle of July in san antonio, and doing anything outdoors in that kind of heat is a horrific experience imho.  i'd imagine i'd need a cart, umbrella, plenty of water, and an early tee time to golf in weather of that magnitude.

I play at 9am most mornings. So far that has been early enough to beat the heat. And we have had a nice breeze most days the last three weeks. But tomorrow I'm playing in a pro-am at my club which will start at 1pm and it's suppose to be hot. I'm looking forward to it though. A mini-tour event(Emerald Coast Tour) and it will be fun playing with the guys trying to make it to the next level. Hope I don't embarrass myself though.

Wow, very sorry to hear it. I've been through similar and feel for you.

I wish it would warm up and stay that way here in New Hampshire. We'll get a week of nice, sunny weather and then another week (or two) with a cold, lingering low pressure system that drizzles 50 degree rain non-stop. blech. And then when the sun comes out again there is a fresh explosion of black flies and mosquitoes.

I played the other day when the index was 108, I feel your pain. Thankfully today it was 80 and I was out playing. Funny how the weather works. I would just work on playing at an earlier time, if possible, or maybe just going out for 9 holes to at least enjoy the game until the heat passes.

I was out for 2 years due to breaking my foot. Sucked, but at least I am back now.

It is extremely hot here in Illinois as well. Twilight hours are my only hope.. unfortunately while trying out a new swing for my driver.. I messed up my left shoulder pretty bad and the soreness and "tear" i feel has me sitting out for a few weeks.

Just do a 9 hole round here and there.. don't leave it completely.

You guys have soaring heat now, we have ice cold here in South Africa. Tried playing on sunday and shivered the shit out of my clubs. COLD = CLUBHOUSE = LARGE CUP OF COFFEE. The only good thing about winter is you get more distance which doesnt help when you trying to putt, lol

in the cold, do you feel more stiff while you play? wonder if that's a risky choice.. pulled muscles, etc.

Personally i dont like doing anything in the winter especially when its as cold as it was on sunday but the bug has bitten so bad that its a force beyond my control. Answer to ur question, make sure you dressed warm and make sure you warm up properly before you tee off. And coffee, ALOT of coffee

High was 105 today where I golfed in Vegas, and I teed off at 4:00pm. I though it was rather nice out . The heat will never stop me from golfing, but the cold is a different story. We'll have to see how my Under Armor under garments hold up this year, I have not golfed in the winter yet. This spring was my first season golfing.

Sincerely, Jim

Its the middle of winter in australia. Its terrible every day is 12degrees and rain. Course is drenched under foot. Makes for plugged drives and very difficult chipping conditions.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
