Playing Golf in Extreme Heat Conditions

I have lived in Spain for 18 years and July 2022 has seen the hottest weather conditions that we have seen in those years and playing golf in these conditions takes it’s toll on both your body and mind.

Below are a number of tips issued by the PGA of America which will allow you to be in a better position to handle such extreme weather conditions:

1.) Stay hydrated and drink plenty of fluids not only on the day of play but start at least one day before you play (even earlier if flying to your golfing destination) and try to avoid caffeine and alcohol.

2.) Wear loose, breathable, light coloured clothing made of moisture absorbing material that won’t start to stick to your body when you start to sweat so that you feel comfortable when playing golf.

3.) Use sunblock on the exposed part of your body with a high factor rating and remember that most modern golf clothes have sunblock technology built in and simple for sunblock reasons there is nothing wrong in wearing long sleeves on hot days.

4.) Wear a loose, light bucket hat with a wide brim to not only keep off the sun but maintain energy levels and these are better that peaked caps for this purpose.

5.) Eat light, but eat something to aid your concentration and energy levels but don’t bulk up on a heavy meal before heading to the golf course for 5 hours.

6.) Warm up fully but lightly in preparation for your round but don’t over do the practice and use up that much needed energy before you stand on the first tee.
