For the past week, huge swaths of the United States have felt record-breaking heat, with golf lovers sweltering from Rhode Island to parts of Oregon. With August still a week away and plenty of summer golf to be played, it’s important to plan ahead and have a few things handy.
The best way to beat the heat is obvious: Play as early in the morning as possible or late in the afternoon or evening. Days are long now, so a quick nine holes as the sun comes up or after an early dinner can help you avoid the hottest parts of the day. If that’s not possible and you know you’re going to be playing through the middle of the day, these things can protect you from the sun, keep you hydrated and help you stay cooler.
