It was 95 degrees with no wind on the course that day. Now I make sure I have plenty of liquids with me and hit the shade as often as I can when on the course. The bottom line is, as you get older take precautions before a problem occurs.<br />Author of "Triangulate Your Golf Swing."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-19343439760525875122011-06-10T10:23:22.122-04:002011-06-10T10:23:22.122-04:00I'm a lot like you, Charles.

But I can't handle those hot days as well as I used to.<br /><br />Daly City sounds good to me, Paul. Reminds me of my summers in the Pacific Northwest, a short but wonderful golf season weather wise.<br /><br />The cold is another subject, Brian. I've actually played on frozen greens. So you'll play in any heat? Good for you.The Armchair Golferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086916747302169325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-54976358652145264472011-06-10T07:26:03.603-04:002011-06-10T07:26:03.603-04:00Luckily in England we only have to worry about thi...Luckily in England we only have to worry about this 1 day a year!Personalised Golf Clothinghttp://www.hazzad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-3822504483325689292011-06-10T06:38:23.472-04:002011-06-10T06:38:23.472-04:00When the greens freeze it is too cold to play but ...When the greens freeze it is too cold to play but I haven't discovered the point yet where it is too hot to play.Brian Kuehnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-53542694765945214742011-06-09T18:56:20.567-04:002011-06-09T18:56:20.567-04:00It's 65 degrees right now in Daly City Califor...It's 65 degrees right now in Daly City California where I play. Since our course is in the fog belt south of SF our summer question can be just the opposite: "Is it too foggy and windy to play?" Just proof that it's a big country.paul staleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-73139764768126410662011-06-09T15:21:32.477-04:002011-06-09T15:21:32.477-04:00I'll be passing up my usual weekly skins game ...I'll be passing up my usual weekly skins game tomorrow - the predicted high here in the Texas Hill Country is 99, and that's too hot. I draw the line these days somewhere around 97, although I'll play on those days if I can get through by noon.<br /><br />I grew up in Houston, and would play in anything back then. I'd happily walk 36 holes in above 95 degrees with Houston humidity. I can't and won't do that anymore.<br /><br />I lived in Asheville for about 9 years, and golf in the summer there was great. Winter wasn't so good, though.Charles Prokophttp://fairwaywords.comnoreply@blogger.com
