ALBANY – With temperatures soaring into the mid 90s this week, it begs an important question: Is there such a thing as it being too hot to play golf?

At Capitol Hills Golf Course in Albany Wednesday, the consensus seemed to be, yes there is an upper temperature limit however on this day, the mercury did not reach it.

“I put a couple of hours in at the office and it (the high temperature) was in the back of my mind,” said Michael Hoffman, of Loudonville. “I love to play and hate to miss an opportunity.”

“Yeah, there is such a thing,” said Dave Gray, of Slingerlands, as he and his playing partner drove away from the 18th green. “Normally I walk but I didn’t walk today. That makes a big difference, and staying hydrated was a big deal.”

“I thought is might be a little too hot,” said Dennis Graham, of Albany. “And it kind of was for me.”

It can be a delicate balance. At a time when you’re trying to cut down on your golfing strokes, you’re trying to avoid heat stroke.

“Probably north of 100 (would be the limit),” Hoffman suggested.

“It didn’t end up as bad as I thought,” Graham added. “I thought it was going to be like standing under a sun lamp but it wasn’t that bad.”

Even though the forecast calls for the June heat wave to continue through the weekend, most golfers News Channel 13 spoke with said it would not deter them from returning to the fairways. For avid golfers, that’s par for the course.
