[PA PLAYA]

Actually, now that a bit of time has passed for reflection, I have to believe that the terrible heat and humidity wore me and my focus out each day. Both days I played the last few holes poorly and made mistakes of the type that come from lack of staying focused, and let okay but not great rounds get away. Saturday I was +3 w/ 3 to play , 2 of which are par 5 holes, so I should have finished strongly. Sunday I had righted ship after a poor start and hit tee shots to excellent positions on the last three but played them +3. I found out Monday that I finished in heat indexes over 105, and several different guys at work were talking about how they almost fell out from the heat that weekend. None of this is an excuse, I wasn't on game to be in contention.

Well, even though we don't like to make excuses, extreme conditions can certainly influence both focus and execution. And naturally it can certainly level the playing field.
