The Time Has Come
Treating hot weather the same as lightening
Climate change is real and record hot temperatures are here to stay.
The governing bodies of golf from the USGA to allied golf organizations to all junior tours should draft and abide by a standard that says "no golf today". These are kids and young people who need to be protected. These bodies have a great safety record when it come to dangerous weather, so let's include heat index in that philosophy.
Weather forecasts are highly accurate even several days ahead. And yes, junior golf is mostly summer golf but if a medical professional says no, too much risk, then proceed with caution. Lets put the players first.
