Is it too hot for golf?

  Triple digits no problem here in California either. We routinely play every summer in the middle of the day in the Palm Springs area. Some nice courses drop prices to $15-30 including cart and ice chest. We freeze water and Gatorade before going out there and drink it as it defrosts. It's like having our own private golf courses since the locals play earlier to beat the heat while we're driving out there. 

  It's a great experience as long as you properly prepare for it.

  To damn hot here. Live only an hour from the Gulf Coast. Low 90's means low 100's with the heat index from humidity. Don't even have to move, just stand there and sweat.

  Lat weekend here was brutal..  But in Arizona & the southwest very little himidity.  Some people just don't know.  No fault of their own.  Even breathing is hard.  Only way to stay "fresh" is to wear soap on a rope.

  First time visitors to Thailand have been known to have their phones melt if they put it in their golf bag when playing.

  The caddies can be extremely hot too.

  A couple of us are heading out to Palm Desert to play again this weekend. Forecast is for 107*F. Personally I'll be taking 1 1/2 to 2 gallons of water and frozen Gatorade along with a clean towel for dipping in the ice chest to cool down with. If either one of us starts to feel it we'll just quit and head for the clubhouse.

  The 19th hole this week is going to be in a frozen yogurt shop near the course. :)
