Too hot to handle!

What a HOT and HUMID week! The heat index was between 100F and 105F. It was a caddie-only event in Gettysburg and unfortunately, my caddy on Day 1 struggled with heat exhaustion after 8 holes and after carrying my own bag for half a hole, my caddie was replaced by the walking scorer of our group. He decided that he would caddy me for the rest of the day. By the 17th fairway, the volunteer caddie for another girl in the group also went down from heat exhaustion and again, was replaced by our new walking scorer, Greg. I was told later the next day that a total of 6 caddies went down on Friday.
Greg ended up being my caddie for Saturday and fortunately for me, he is a volunteer fire-fighter.... just in case he needed to carry me AND my golf bag going up the last hole on Saturday :-)
