Wear light-colored clothing, which reflects the heat. Dark colors absorb the heat and cause' body temperatures to increase. Drink plenty of water before, during and after you play. ; Health professionals advise that when you feel thirsty you are already dehydrating. Carry a thermos or container of water and use it often. Have a wet towel with you on the course. Wipe off often. It can be quite <? ? refreshing. Apply sunscreen to all exposed areas of the body. It's recommended that sunscreens with at least an SPF of 15 be used. Skin cancer does not dis criminate. Diet is important. Eat properly, especially fruits, veg etables and juices. If you begin to feel sick and/or dizzy, head for the clubhouse and home. There is also nothing wrong with play ing only nine holes when the temperature get in the 80s or 90s and the humidity is high. Bot tom line is, do the right thing, and take care of yourself. It has been reported that Lester "Fats" Carpenter got his nickname years ago for obvious reasons. However, it needs to be pointed out that "Fats" isn't fat anymore. Richard "Eagle Eye" Thomas got his "handle" when he was a caddy. Seems as though "Eagle Eye" rarely lost the path of even a misdirected golf shot. By the way, "Fats" doesn't hit many "fat" shots these days, and "Eagle Eye" doesn't have to use the eye to find very many of his golf balls. They both can play V this game. Until next time, keep N it in the fairway.

"What can you say?" Rice tisked.'"Our balls were hit hard. but right to them and they made plays. They came through with some clutch hits, but our defense hurt us. A lot of the errors we made were mental. Baseball isn't a game where you can just go out there and believe you can win by outplaying people. A thinking team will beat you every time.
