Headhammer 2,764 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 It was so hot & humid here this weekend I never even stepped foot outside. Supposed to drop down to the high 80's all week, but rain in the forecast everyday. 1 Quote Driver: Speed Zone 9* HZRDUS Smoke Yellow Shaft 3 Wood: King Speedzone 13.5* HZRDUS Smoke Black Shaft 2 & 3 Hybrids: Speedzone Recoil 480 ESX Shaft Irons: Speedzone 5-GW Recoil 460 ESX Shafts Wedges: PM Grind 54* & 58* Putter: Dual Force Rossi II Ball: Whatever I find in the woods HCP:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a break from the high humidity & temps this morning....a cool 60* this morning.... After finding the flowers sprayed with Deer-Out, this guy tried sampling the fake grass on the putting green and left disappointed. Thanks! I'm thinking about putting a gas fire table in the middle for the cool evenings that will hopefully show up one of these days. I don't know how you guys back east deal with the humidity!! The last few days we cooled off to low 90's, but our humidity has been sky high!! This is a desert; we aren't supposed to have humidity. The sun has been blocked by smoke from fires in Oregon, so the temperature is lower but it also keeps the nights very warm. Only cooled off to 81º Saturday night, so Sunday's round at 7:30am started 10 degrees warmer than usual. Humidity was trapped near the ground; humidity was >80%. No clouds, can't see the sun, and I'm dripping wet before we tee off. More sun today and 105º; wish it would rain; cool things off, get rid of the smoke in the air, and help irrigation demands. 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna try and convince Mrs. H. to go to the range with me this afternoon. That's what it's been like here too. It's really put a damper on my bike rides & range/golf time after work. We bought a new gas fire pit and have yet to use it because at night it's either been pouring, or it's so humid it feels disgusting outside. 3 Quote In my carry bag: D7 GBB 3W (lofted to 4W) V-Series Heavenwood Baffler XL 5i-PW CBX 54* iWedge 58* #10 Whatever ball I have 3 dozen of that my kids got me as a gift Twitter: @russtopherb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyPutter 1,505 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 High heat index day, I work in the basement so what do I know about the day? Rushed to the course for a tee time 40 minutes after I could shut down my computer and there were fewer cars than usual. Only one other guy teeing off who asked if I wanted to join him, I declined having to still get ready for my first tee. Was one hole behind him at first then 2 by the time I lost sight of him towards the end, with nobody following there was no rush. Hydrated lots and it wasn't quite the heat that reset my idea of hot, that being the Kuwait and Iraq deserts wearing 60lbs of body armor and armament with an 8lb helmet and only nose and chin exposed to air... So not too hot... the weather station photo almost an hour after arriving home. 2 Quote Verified Hack, 23 handicap Golfing for exercise and peace of mind. |> Big Dogs: O'Donnell Triumph hybrids 10-15-19-27 graphite, Ginty Trouble Club steel |> Blades: First StrikeTM DeliveranceTM 3-4-5-6-7-8-9-P Spitfire Graphite XL Shafts |> Flatstick: Pinemeadow Z-ON M1 .

Looking northwest at the end of the Ruby Mountain range. The photo dosen't really do it justice. The entire east side of the valley (Tobacco Root Mountains) were cast in a purple-orange hue, the likes of which we'd never seen before. River didn't seem overly impressed. Also increased the scent of fresh cut alfalfa & sweetgrass. Looks like a great place to pick up a little Venison.. lol 1 Quote Dave- Follow me on twitter @GolfCrazyWA and on Instagram @GolfcrazyWA WITB: Cobra Ultralite Cart Bag Cobra F8+ Driver Hzrdus Red 65g shaft Cobra F8+ 3wd Hzrdus Red 65g shaft Cobra 3 hybrid Rogue Pro 75g Shaft Cobra 4 hybrid Rogue Pro 75g Shaft Cobra F8 irons 5-GW KBS tour 90 stiff shafts Cobra King Black Wedges 54* and 58* versatile grind Snake eyes Viper Putter.
