Boy Howdy. My golfer has his little Cooler on the back, right next to his divot filler. I think he was a Boy Scout because that lad seems always to be aware of the weather and prepared for it. He is prepared for GOLF. He even brings a jacket when it's cold and an umbrella just in case it EVER rains on a golf course.

I just find myself very confused about this. I am quite sure the initiator of this thread is accurate. It really has been very hot these days, almost everyone I know is mentioning the warming trends and they talk about it all of the time on T.V. too. I suppose that the water is heavily used in this kind of weather, ....and they could be running out by four. I know this...In all the years I played golf here, the ambassador folks were very helpful and not at all directing, as they were in the golf courses I played in Ohio, before we moved here. (Sometimes I wish they could be a little harsher with slow play and speak to newbies taking too long looking for lost balls..) but I have guessed that the policy is to expect good behavior from the fine older people we are and not boss them around too much.
