What do you fellow THP'ers do when playing in heat. I playing today in 90 degree weather high illinois humidity. I am wearing a white shirt white hat and whitish shorts and tons of Gatorade. What do you guys do?

Exactly that. Or if I know I'm playing tomorrow in bad heat I'll drink tons of water the day before to be hydrated otherwise light colors on the course help as well.

Moisture wicking shorts and shirts.

Lots of water (maybe 50 to 60 ounces or more) before starting the round. At least that much during the round. The more you weigh, the more water you should drink, at least that's how I interpret it (I've read you should drink one ounce of water for every two pounds of body weight in a normal day).

There are several threads here about staying hydrated.

First you need a big hat such as this



Make sure you stretch



Drink plenty of water

On real hot days I will also bring a couple small towels that I can dunk in the ice chest water and then wrap around my neck. I would imagine you are riding so after each hole, drape the cold towel and ride to the next hole. You'd be surprised how much it drops your temp. Also keep the beers til after the round, you will have earned em!

I also play three gloves as I get them pretty sweaty.

That's a good idea, but also, kinda gross if you are using the ones people are drinking out of.

All that...and tons of sunscreen.
Oh and multiple golf gloves so when one gets wet, you have more dry ones ready to go.

lol, seriously I do use a "soaker" type of hat and one of those neck wrap things that swell up when you put it in water and retains the cold for quite a while. I dip the neck wrap in the melted ice water that is in my cooler. As everyone else has said, light moisture wicking clothing and hydration are essential.

I like to wear all black and a sombrero like this. Appropriate for today.

[saopinax]

Frogz Chilly pad. You wet it and stay cool and it doesn't drip much.

[indentKew]

Oh i forgot try to stay in the shade.

[rassedgesse]

Tons of water and skip the beer. It was 91 today and supposed to be 96 tomorrow

Sad to say, I've seen some people play like this!

Don't wear black, drink lots of water, and play at twilight when the sun is going down, here in southern nm, it gets up to 110 in july and I hate it, take an umbrella and sunscreen too

I mentioned this in another thread... I take my cycling Camelbak. It holds 72 oz - I fill it with ice, water and then slide a small Gatorade into the carrier against the bladder. Started this last July/August when I first started learning golf and the temps here were 100-110 for 2 months.

The key is stay hydrated constantly. Drinking the water during a round is too late. Just make it part of your daily routine to stay hydrated throughout the day, and then keep drinking during your round and you will be fine.

I played lots of 1p.m. rounds here in Fl last summer with no problem.

Oi, I never thought of that, that is brilliant!

[awagsFare]

Two things I do:
1. Rub ice on your wrist, immediate cooling process
2. Ice cold water on the back off your nexk

[SeLvesTr]

Yes, the rule of thumb is to stay hydrated. The Nuun electrolyte tablets are amazing in this regard. If it were really hot and I was playing a round, I'd drink a full bottle of water with the Nuun before the round, then continue drinking another bottle with Nuun during.

[Attarderb]

I drink a lot of water, and play as fast as I can.
