Hydration will help as it will keep them a little bit cool whilst playing.Louisehttp://www.comparegolfinsurance.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-67763119569142574682010-06-14T16:03:19.939-04:002010-06-14T16:03:19.939-04:00I don't think its ever to hot for golf.

I was just thinking about how I get up at 5 am on the weekend to play so if the sun is shinning I will be out there no matter how hot it gets.Golf Gurushttp://www.golfcoursereviewgurus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-25419606179954736282010-06-14T13:07:06.584-04:002010-06-14T13:07:06.584-04:00Similar weather here in Atlanta over the weekend.....Similar weather here in Atlanta over the weekend...it was 97 when we came off the course at 6pm on Saturday.<br /><br />As long as there is cool water and a wet towel, I'm pretty much alright with the heat unless the humidity gets too high.<br /><br />Used to walk 36 in the Phoenix summer until I got out in a 113 degree day and even 32 oz of water every other hole wasn't enough to stay hydrated and I ended up in bed for 3 days with heat prostration.courtgolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043365135385055405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-16465766152719308902010-06-14T12:52:01.938-04:002010-06-14T12:52:01.938-04:00Charles: Raleigh is challenging in the summer mont...Charles: Raleigh is challenging in the summer months, for sure.

It was miserable, save for a little breeze that saved us now and again.<br /><br />It has gotten me thinking -- there must be a simple and better way to stay cool on the golf course. I may not be another Dean Kamen, but I think I have some ideas.Charles Boyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00672533578474522766noreply@blogger.com
