Having spent an extraordinary amount of time in extremely humid and desert environments, I consider myself fairly durable when it's hot out... But I've noticed lately that I get a little "burned out" after 10 holes or so...I guess walking has a lot to do with it but how do you folks in those higher triple digit heat and higher humidity areas withstand heat during your rounds while walking...
Play with attractive people and take it all offI hate heat. I would take 30° and rain over 90°
As I've always said: Layering is the key to cold. But in heat, you can only take so much off.
I’d still be too hotPlay with attractive people and take it all off
I would probably have to agree with you there, have a feeling that I would really struggle around there and end up like a little puddle afterwards. Gotta be worth a try though sometime.....?Living in Houston this time of year my rounds are +93° and humidity +80%, with some very strong sun and I walk almost every round. All basically resulting in heat index of +110°F. A few things to consider when playing in this stuff is it takes some time to adjust to that kinda heat. If your playing in it all the time, or gradually ramp up to it you'll be much more tolerant. But if @HarlettoScara came to visit me from his cool cloudy homeland, he would likely struggle in the heat regardless of Hydration. Still happens to Texans if they don't spend time frequently in the heat (curse of the AC). So if you live in the Pacific NW or the NE and take a summer trip to Kiawah or HHI take some precautions.
For my rounds I tend to drink tons of water (3-4L) bottles per round, I find eating helps a lot specifically for Sodium intake. So I try to eat some nuts or something else salty throughout the round. And this summer I've started carrying a dry towel as well as a chilli towel on some rounds. The Chilli towel works well if you have a breeze with lower humidity, wrap that around your neck and it does wonders. The dry towel allows me to get enough sweat off my face to actually play the shot . And finally wear sunscreen!
If I do the above i'm usually able to get through the hottest rounds with out much impact on my play, but it tends to still totally sap my energy for the rest of the day. Nothing like a good shower and nap on the couch post round to watch the PGA finish up!
