If you can’t handle the heat...

FEARFUL of melting into the zoysia grass, what with temperatures in the mid-90s and a humidity beyond insufferable, walks are kept to a minimum in advance of the 93rd PGA Championship at the Atlanta Athletic Club.

How hot is it? Well, you perhaps could find Tiger Woods and his old caddie-friend-bodyguard-confidant-bungee partner Steve Williams sharing a lemonade before you’d come across any player who has played 18 holes more than one day in a row.

But before the sweat-stained crowd jumps in and starts moaning that it’s too hot and the PGA of America needs to find venues in parts of the country where it’s more comfortable, consider these points: One, didn’t just a month ago we have an Open Championship that was cold, wet, and windy, so miserable that Rory McIlroy suggested it played such havoc that it was borderline unfair?
