You're right - since mid-August (AUGUST mind you) the weather has been more like mid to late fall. So much for Dallas being hot as hell from May through September! I had to wait for the frost to melt from the greens, which pushed my tee off time back 30 minutes.

It was feeling good today but then the sun came out and quickly turned it into a sauna.

Oh please. A sauna? With the humidity in the 30% range most of the day! If you want sauna weather - visit Florida (in particular), or any state bordering the Mississippi River, or all along the east coast. Dallas' humidity is not bad at all, especially compared to parts east of here.

This wasn't a typical day either, seeing as it had just rained and then the sun came out to make it all evaporate. It felt like I was hiking through a bathroom after a hot shower.

That was bound to have lasted what - all of 30 minutes?

I looked like I had been in a water fight after my walkabout last night. SICK of this humidity! I want the dry heat back, it's August for pete's sake. Enough already.
