We waited for the warm kiss of summer
for months and now we wonder why we
ever wished this heat on ourselves. A
long-lasting heat wave is upon at least
two thirds of the United States for the
foreseeable future and it is brutal. We
came up with seven ways for you to beat
the unbearable summer heat to stay safe
and cool.
Stay Hydrated
This is the most obvious way to stay
cool during the summer months. And
by hydration, we mean actual water.
Margaritas don’t count! It is important to
either drink water with added electrolytes
or add electrolytes to your water bottle.
Bring a cooler packed with drinks every-
where you drive your golf car. Heat stroke
is no joke and replenishing fluids lost to
sweat is key.
Keep Your Cheeks Chilly
While you are cruising around on a hot day,
keep your booty cheeks nice and cool with
Chilly Cheeks. The seat cover is equipped
with ice cold gel packs designed to lower
the core temperature of your body and
make the heat a bit more bearable.

Play golf or cruise the neighborhood on the hot-

Wouldn’t a cool stream of air make a big differ-
ence right now? Be the envy of the neighbor-
hood by adding a golf car enclosure. You will
have a mobile cooling station. If you don’t want
to go as far as an actual air conditioner, consid-
er bringing a hand held fan with you.
Know Your Body’s Cooling Points
Understanding where your body’s pulse points
are can help you to stay cool. If the heat begins
to make you feel sick, apply ice cubes, a cold
pack, or even cool water to any of the pulse
points located on your wrists, neck, insides of
elbows and knees, and at your temples. If you
know that you will be out in the heat for a while,
especially if you will be playing golf or tennis,
wrap a damp bandana or a cooling scarf around
your neck or wrists for an easy way to stay cool.
Give Yourself a Squirt
The last time you visited the zoo, did you notice
that the elephants blast water from their trunks
to keep themselves cool? They understand
