32 | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | AUGUST 2022 | Golf Club From the President Tom Moore: Welcome to the "Dog Days" of Summer. As I'm sure you know, we are in the middle of the hottest months of the year. These are the days that we should be aware of the dangers of Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke. As you play golf this summer, please watch for the following symptoms, as defined by the Mayo Clinic, and keep an eye on your playing partner as well: Indications of Heat Exhaustion • Dizziness or feeling faint • Sweating • Clammy skin • Nausea or vomiting • Rapid, weak pulse • Cramps Indications of Heat Stroke • Severe headache • No sweating • Body temp at 104 or above • Hot, dry skin • Nausea or vomiting • Rapid, strong pulse • Loss of consciousness Measures you can take to avoid these serious conditions: • Wear lightweight clothing made with CoolMax, DryMax or some other high-tech fiber. • Wear a hat with a brim • Drink plenty of fluids — ideally 2 to 3 hours before exposure to high temperatures • Avoid alcoholic beverages and caffeine (uh oh!) • Take extra precautions with certain medications • Take it easy during the hottest parts of the day • Seek shade whenever possible What to do when dealing with Heat Stroke or Heat Exhaustion: • Move the person out of the heat and into a shady or air- conditioned location • Lay the person down and elevate the legs and feet slightly • Remove tight or heavy clothing • Have the person drink cool water or other nonalcoholic beverage without caffeine • Cool the person by spraying or sponging with cool water and fanning • Carefully monitor the person and call 911 if condition worsens Just because it's hot doesn't mean that we can't enjoy a round of golf, we just have to be careful. On another note, The Community Benefit tournament on June 14 was an overwhelming success! We had 88 golfers participate, and we were able to raise $4,006 to donate to the Hemet Police Department's K-9 Unit. A huge "THANK YOU" to everyone involved!
