Don't Lose Your Cool
With the return of our traditional wet season, and Spring coming in early this year, the potential for some 'stinkers' with high heat and humidity is a reality. So here are a few ideas to extend your playing and survive these hot testing months.
So with the heat, accompanied by the high humidity and partner this with our challenging terrain, our fun golfing day can become a real test of fitness. And many veteran players may experience the effects of the heat, humidity and hills even more!
So it is wise to prepare yourself for these 3H’s.
Sunscreen and liquid (preferably plenty of water) are essential. A wet towel or handkerchief can be very helpful too. Check out Proshop items - Aqua Kool or Cool It, both a neck-erchief style cool aide for your neck and head!
There is plenty of drinking water outlets on course too :-
#5 tee,
#6 tee
#8 tee
!/2 way bar cooler,
#13 tee,
#14 tee (tank)
#15 tee,
#16 tee
and behind #17 tee
Plenty of chances to re-hydrate!
There is also free sunscreen in the half-way bar. Mal also sells a non-greasy sunscreen applicator so you don’t get greasy hands.
The 2010 Mens Four Ball Match Play (Frank DeVere Memorial) is well under way, with this round determining quarter final teams. Most of the matches so far have been quite close, with winning margins surprisingly small - handicaps must be accurate?
YES - Nambour has been measured!! Mal has these little beauties on sale NOW!
We all know you cannot ground your club in the bunker.
So now that my new handicap is in play, what happens when I play my next game?
Need to refer back to a ruling given in a past month?
