Too hot...

[Fish]

No not me and my boyish looks and athletic figure, but this current weather, I know we moan when its cold and wet and we say our summers are too short but today at times was unbearable and tomorrow is going to not only be hotter, but the humidity is going to be off the scale compared to today!

I can cope with the heat but the humidity with it is a struggle when working outside up on scaffolding.

I was going to pop down the club again for a few holes but I can't in this heat, maybe after the thunderstorms tomorrow night it will clear the humidity a bit and I'll play Thursday night?

Any one else struggling or do you love it like this?

Too hot here as well despite the breeze we've got. Have seen one man out in a thick coat and another one with thick sweatpants, thick jacket and bobble hat on

Ive got food poisoning from BBQ on Saturday. sitting here melted after shivering through the night.


So jealous of anyone playing golf today.

Why when were already feeling the heat and humidity do we want to stand behind a Barbecue belting out even more heat, surely its time for big salads with hot jersey potatoes with a knob of butter on, not burnt meat!

How can you play in this, maybe the youngsters can cope but I felt it a little last night at this time but playing now would kill me off!

28 deg here this afternoon according to the car, nice gentle breeze to cool you of on the links, which is where i will be at 6pm

Don't just focus on the 28, 30 or like tomorrow, 34 degrees Matt explains why we feel cooked due to high humidity, I'm definitely well done today and not medium rare as I'd like :smirk:

I'm sure the breeze on the coast is ideal when its so hot, but in built up areas like here in the Midlands its like a pressure cooker!

It wasn't my idea and I wasn't cooking. Never been the biggest fan of BBQs. next time I will pass and arrive for drinks only.


Some heat alright and it wouldn't be easy but I would have a cooler bag packed full of iced drinks to see me round. Great for open qualifying up at hillside.

walked round Woburn for a fair chunk of the day, not convinced Id have made it through 36 holes! Some of them were getting pretty ragged and the pace of play had slowed greatly from earlier on.

even with being under the trees for large parts was stifling at times, very little breeze in parts too

Chilling in garden. Golf at 7.30pm when it's a bit cooler. Bliss:thup:

BBQ's are fantastic,real ones are anyway.
Gas ones are for girls.

when we lived in St Albans the temp in the summer was very stifling , esp at night with breeze at all.

Up here we just don't get the humidity being so close to the sea, its nice, luckily if doesn't really get any hotter than 28

never too hot, just take in more fluids, would rather be on the golf course in this heat than working be it inside or out

Just more fluids still wont help when the humidity is too high, with too much moisture in the air it won't draw the moisture from our body so we'll boil!! Its not just about heat!

I couldnt agree more. It was 38 degrees when we touched down in Verona a couple of weeks ago so i'm used to it!

I'm playing in a Texas scramble tomorrow morning, its forecast to be 35 degrees here in the South east but we will only be a couple of miles from the sea so I just hope that there's some breeze !
