Teeing off at 10:50 this morning....hoping it's warm enough to keep people away....resulting in a faster round of golf. 
Is it hot enough?

Playing The Oxfordshire today at 2pm. It'll be rather warm.
I used to play with a Sri Lankan bowler, who on a day like this might be down to 2 sweaters!

I played in Australia on a hot day. Teed off at 6:50am to get done before it got to 40*C.
When it is that hot you've got to consider wearing long sleeves and trousers, because the sun on your skin just makes you hotter.

Linen clothing is the answer in this weather. As has been said above, even with long sleeves and trousers. Actually, the real answer is a swimming pool in the shade but in the real world.........

That is my real world, (apart from the minor issue of me being at work rather than in the pool), it’s going up for sale if you’re interested.
Ha ha. I'm afraid not. I can't handle the heat once it gets above 25°C or so. I'd love to live in a world of 18-20°C, perfection for me, all year round but sadly that place doesn't exist.That is my real world, (apart from the minor issue of me being at work rather than in the pool), it’s going up for sale if you’re interested.

This is easy. Mountain biking in 35 degrees air temp with the heat reflecting back off the hard pack you’re climbing is hot. It forces your body to deal with the temps.

. There are multiple reasons for living in the north of England and cooler temperatures is certainly one of them.

Sounds like you're angling for a job with the North of England Tourist Board
Reasons to Live in North of England:

My club wouldn’t dare… but there is a cafe on the high street which is charging £7.50 for a bacon sandwich and £8 for a sausage bap!

If there isn’t a Gregg’s on your route to your golf club, you either need to move golf clubs, or move house.
All your pre round sandwich problems are solved.

You've just reminded me of a benefit of living down south - down here we have Wenzels, which is like Greggs but ten times better.
I've never been to a Wenzels but that is quite a claim you have made there
. Bold statement. Then again, maybe Greggs just keep their best gear for up here
