I bet it was and yes, Pineview are great for that. It should be mandatory for all courses to supply cold water on days like this.

On that note can anyone offer a rational explanation why there are no water containers on the golf course in Ottawa. The only reason I have been given was the death of the teenager, and subsequent lawsuit, in 2002 who drank unsanitary water at an Arizona course. I've talked to staff at courses in the states where you can still get water and they say that is not a problem any longer as the water is contained in a plastic liner and not directly handled by employees.

We have golfed in Florida, Arizona, Alberta and B.C. There is drinking water on all the courses that we have played on. In fact, we winter in Arizona and have played about 30 different courses, all with drinking water. Seems to be an Ontario thing; good profit in selling bottled water??

There was a time when you could get water at every tee. The uproar was pretty loud, but ultimately...

My son played a practice round at Loyalists for the U19 provincials yesterday and the info sheet for the event said there would be water stations every 4/5 holes.
There was one at 5 and 14 and at the turn but the committee strongly sudjested to carry extra water. Really?
44 with humidex yesterday with 20 K winds and it was still a heat box
Today for the first round 40 with humidex and wind gusts up to 6 K
He has a 2:15 tee time!!

I am allowed witch means I will be carrying 6 bottles on ice in my pack sack and reloading at the turn.
I can’t wait. Really looking forward to the experience!
The silver lining is a 10 a m tee time tomorrow but by then I hope he still has gas left in the tank.
150 golfers, top 60 and ties move on for rounds 3 and 4.

We have water every 3 holes at our course. On Sunday I refilled a 500ml bottle at every station and made sure to drink constantly instead of gulping it down.
I still managed to lose 2.5 lbs in sweat, so just over a liter net loss.Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

If hot out, don't play or bring own water. I am sure everyone is old enough to stop blaming other for own poor choices... I played my best round yesterday afternoon and got a cart, gallon of water, Gatorade (Plenty of sweat as I almost broke 80).

Clublink has water on the course. Some more than others. Marshalls were driving around with cold wet towels too. Made the heat very bearable. Well...survived anyway
