Good question.
I wish they had given more information about that.

To quote Tamar, "2 anecdotes don't equal data", but my golf buddies and I commented recently that July and August, which were once prime golf months here in the northeast, have become increasingly unplayable because of the increased heat.
Back in the day, I don't ever recall skipping a round because of excessive heat. Now it's commonplace.
Age is no doubt a factor, but I don't recall as many 95+ degree days as I've seen during the past few years.
