Overheating on the golf course

Overheating on the golf course

Nick August 22, 2021

I pushed it too difficult on the golf course plus hot, plus it ruined our week.

Here’s the deal, our partner took the youngsters to see her parents for a week-long getaway. She wanted me to stay behind plus have our own getaway, which was genuinely kind of her. Of course with total freedom the first thing I did was go to the golf course plus played for 12 straight hours! This left me dehydrated plus weak, plus I was bedridden for many mornings afterward. When I went back, still wanting to golf, I had to take it simple so I didn’t overheat again. I found that after leaving the A/C of the clubhouse, I genuinely abruptly became sluggish plus fatigued in the tepid sun. I had flashbacks to the sunshine poisoning from the mornings before, plus rushed back into the air conditioned clubhouse to have some water plus stand down. And so it went for the rest of the afternoon, I would make a few putts on the practice red plus then come back to stand in the A/C. One of the pros on staff told me if I kept pushing it then it would take even longer to get back out there, so I needed to stay in the climate control as much as possible for a few mornings. That was a difficult pill to swallow, because I felt like I was losing precious golf time, however the guy was right plus a constant stream of cooling air was all that kept me feeling like normal.
