Second chance was at the bathroom but no you couldn't fill a cup due to lack of pressure. Third chance at last water station didn't have any water period!!! Sorry but this is unacceptable!! Remember the good old days when the ambassadors drove up and asked if you wanted some cold water; they say they can't do it safely any more when you ask. Just another example of poor golf management; or as they like to say blame it on the weather!!
The Florida Legislature voted “ have chosen to sponsor legislation that prevents cities and counties from setting workplace standards that require water, cooling measures and recovery periods after work in hot weather. Requiring companies to post or distribute materials informing workers about staying safe in swelter heat is also prohibited”
Guess this applies to you also…
