Too hot...

David went out in a bright orange t-shirt and came home in a white club t-shirt. Seems the little black bugs just LOVE orange and he was covered in minutes so bought a new on from the shop. Another guy played 18 holes in his rain jacket as it was preferable to his bright green bug-covered t-shirt!

LOL's
 
Well we played last night after work and it was bloody marvellous, can't get enough of the sun and it is SO NICE to get out instead of watching the rain from the living room window.

Roll on the weekend, we are out on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so should have a canny tan as well. :clap:
 
Had a 45mins thunder storm earlier, just constant rumbling and lightening flashes, heavy rain, thought great that will cool things off, pah, no such luck, it's hotter now than it was before the storm and it's a lot stickier as well.
 
Here in sunny Hertfordshire it got up to 37 degrees C this afternoon, according to the outside air temperature sensor in my car. Heathrow Airport a few miles down the road were reporting 36.7, so probably genuine. It is still uncomfortably hot and sticky in the evening! :(
 
He's collapsed in in front of the telly and I'd get a ban from here if I repeated what he said when I suggested going out for nine lol.

Are the shirts the thick ones Iain? Simon bought the thin one and said it was OK on Sunday. Us ladies don't even have team shirts.

Ha ha!

Yep they're pretty thick and not great material for hot sticky weather....
 
Played 18 earlier and was sweltered in the most oppressively humid boiling hot conditions.

I know we endure more than our fair share of cold wet and windy conditions here in the UK, always wishing for hot Summer weather, but today it really was...

TOO HOT! :mmm:

So I guess nobody ever goes to Spain, Portugal etc. to play golf in the sun!!!

But at 31*c in Spain (Valencia) the humidity is only around 35*, here its pushing 90* humidity at only 21*c, that's a big difference, the body struggles to keep cool with such high humidity levels!
 
People seriously need to man up. Too hot!!!! Get on with it you bunch of wuss's.

All right for you in your air con station playing pool all day, I handballed 3 tonne of 25kg bags today, twice!! :smirk:
 
15 degrees and chucking it down with rain.

Might put the heating on.

Heavy rain forecast in the morning & afternoon tomorrow, so I might get rained off work and go for a game in my new Galvin Green test pilot outfit :smirk:

To say we do nothing but play pool is an utter insult.


Its table tennis,.......... we broke the pool table
 
It can rain all it likes tonight. I might be able to get a ball to stop on a green tomorrow evening and that would make a nice change.
