Is Anyone Playing Today In The Heat?

It's just starting to cool down now to 91f/33c here :eek:

Had to work this morning, but to be honest, I'm still cooking from yesterday so would have really struggled at Camberley had I gone.
 
I'm just really grateful for all the people who have posted pictures of their car thermometers on Facebook today. Otherwise I would never have realised it was so hot and warm. Nobs.
 
It was tough today, not helped by the fact that the other 3 in my group all had buggies, there was a carvery meal included in the price but all I wanted to do was get home and collapse. I can honestly say that I feel worse after 18 holes today than I did after 36 holes last Wednesday.
 
F to nine was gorgeous and the first time I have noticed this year that the ball was flying and running well. Played my best ever bunker shot from 120 yd and put it 7 ft from the pin. Slightly uphill and straight. Left me par putt 2 ft short. Oh did the air turn blue.
Onto the back nine, oh it was sweaty, proper sweaty. By this time I have normally visited the trees a couple or three times, during the whole round I went one and a half times. Played really well by the 15th and either fatigue, rubbish golf or both contributed to a meltdown.
posted on another blog how I got a phone call on the 15th tee and asked if I could get to the 13th tee as soon as because a bloke was struggling with the heat. Ah and so was I. He ended up being ok. Not drinking enough.
 
We played with the captain and lady captain of Marple, we had just finished our round when he was asked to go down to the 16th in his buggy as someone was feeling unwell. That turned out to be someone feeling dizzy due to the heat.
 
Played about 5.30 for nine holes. Struggled in the heat. Played crap which didn't help. Made sure I got some proper fluids in and had three Magners

Good man Homer three of your five a day there 🍏🍎🍏

oh ah, had a look on me solar panels Bluetooth and it was sunnier on Monday, but not as hot.

Playing Farnham Sands today. Forecasters saying temps will be a tad lower than yesterday so I shall expect 39 degrees centgrade at least with a possibility of -3 and snow on the back nine.
