Default Golf in the Heat
With all the cold weather in Georgia I wanted to start thinking about warmer golf weather....so what is the hottest temp you have played in?

Mine would have to be 98 degrees last year. It was hot and humid. I was paired with an older gentelman and it was extremely hot. He cramped up around the 10th and we had to get him inside to the club house. We were trying to give him water and he kept asking for pickle juice. We got some from the snack bar and he immediately stopped cramping and in few minutes was able to walk to his car and drive home. I guess the pickle juice worked.

Somewhere around 110* here in Tucson, but the most miserable ever was 105* with 90% humidity in Arkansas. Now that is truly miserable.

It's 100+ everyday here June-July. Every weekend I walk 18, and I LOVE IT!

Would always rather walk in 100*+ then stay at home because it's raining/too cold.

102* plus humidity here in O-Town on a 2P tee time. I changed my shirt 3 times and soaked two hand towels.

120. Cambodia. Super Humid as well. We were soaked at the end of each round and had probably lost 5 pounds. Golfing two days in a row was out of the question.

But I lived there for 3 years so I sort of got used to it....

105 in Thailand, Boxing day 2001. Had our own caddies, it was lovely not having to carry your bags etc. It's great playing golf in Thailand.

Same in Cambodia! Very nice having them hold the clubs and umbrellas, and bring you cold beers when it gets too hot.

I'm thinking it was low to mid 90's for me last summer. I love to play when it is hot and dry. I seem to play my best in these conditions.

Around 110 last November in Thailand.
I'm adapted to the heat, but these caddies wear hats/towels on their head, gloves (wool), overalls etc.... unbelievable

Had to be around 100 with high humidity. I walked it and loved it. When I finished I didn't have a dry thread on me.

Close to 100 with high humidity. It's not horrible if you have a breeze. Those days are possibly behind me now, depending on where the 100 degrees is. A Kansas 100 day is much different than a Florida 100 degree day.

Played in 98* one Father's day with some friends at Eastmoreland, carrying my clubs. I sent through 6 bottles of water and was fine until the drive home when my hamstrings started cramping. Had a great time playing golf though!

106° when we teed off at La Quinta (Palm Springs) at noon. Don't know how high it got before we finished, but it was stifling. I've played at 100+ here at home many times in midsummer, but that day at Palm Springs was the worst.
