The deed is done! I made it and lived to tell the tale. I survived the 110 degree day in the heat of the afternoon. Will wonders never cease. Shot a good round too.
As a writer, you are never supposed to start a story with "The day was....". Well, The day was overcast and the heat had not peaked as we teed off. I was prepared for the heat. What was unexpected was there was a bit of monsoonal moisture which flowed up from Mexico which made the day very humid. The temperature was not what you would call comfortable. It was hot and humid, but bearable.
I came prepared for the heat. My normal hot weather equipment includes a large spray bottle and towels so I can spray myself down with cold water. This worked for most of the day, even though the humidity was up. I was 13 over at the turn. Sweating like a pig and hot, but comfortable.
The clouds disappeared and the temperature began to soar. It got hotter, and you could feel the temperature leap. The eighteenth hole was a welcome sight, even though I double bogeyed it to shoot a 96.
I love golf! Come experience with me the world of golf from an author and photographer's point of view. Explore courses, share travel adventures and golf destinations with me all from my irreverent point of view. This is a where to play (courses I have played),where to stay (hotels and lodging), where to eat (restaurants) and what to do when you are not playing site written by an average golfer with an average budget's point of view. See what is on my mind as far as the world of golf.
