Much of the continental U.S. has experienced brutally hot conditions over the past few weeks, with record-setting humidity levels and temperatures in the 100s.
But we golfers are crazy folk and some adverse weather rarely stops us from getting a few rounds in. Still, it's important to make sure you take care of your body when the temperature reaches dangerous levels. To help you do that, there are several accessories available that will keep you cool and feeling good when the sun is beating down and the sweat is dripping.
Check out these six hot-weather golf essentials you should have in your bag next time you need to beat the heat.
Sub Zero 2 Evaporative Cooling Towel
Get it wet, wrap it around your neck or head and feel your body temperature drop. That's all you have to do with
the Sub Zero 2 Evaporative Cooling Towel from Proactive Sports, which uses active cooling technology with a highly absorbent fabric to wick sweat away and keep you feeling fresh on the course.

Yeti Rambler Insulated Water Bottle
We've all been there: you fill up your water bottle in the clubhouse before your round, and about 30 minutes later, all the ice is melted, and the water is warm. The Rambler Insulated Water Bottle from Yeti solves that problem, with double-wall vacuum insulation to keep your beverage ice cold and durable, kitchen-grade stainless steel for long-lasting use.
