Whether you’re on the green for a tie, a competition, or just a bit of fun, remember — it’s hot out there. Please take care, stay hydrated, and enjoy your time on the rink.

When the sun is out, please take a moment to look after yourself. Here’s some simple advice from NHS Scotland to help you stay sun‑burn free and well‑hydrated:

• Limit your time in the midday sun and make good use of shade
• Wear protective clothing
• Choose a wide‑brimmed hat to protect your eyes, ears, face and the back of your neck
• Use sun‑cream suited to your skin type
• Drink plenty of water to replace fluids lost in the heat

Stay safe, stay cool, and enjoy your time on the green.
