The summer of 2025 shows, especially in Central Europe, that how extreme heat is dealt with at tournament events determines how high the economic losses for a golf course are. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>60 registrations &#8211; 30 cancellations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thursday, a normal men&#8217;s day, around 60 people have registered. Three days before the deadline, 60 people have signed up. And then comes the weather forecast: 35 degrees, constant heat. <strong>From then on, the tournament becomes expensive for the club<\/strong> because nothing runs as planned on a normal day in the D-A-CH region with temperatures below 30 degrees.  <\/p>\n<p>The secretariat receives requests from tournament participants in random order: Can I have an early start time? Is there still an electric cart available? If there are no more e-carts, please cancel. Or cancel immediately, regardless of whether carts are available or not. Normally, two employees, one of whom has drawn up a start list the day before, are busy changing it. Phone calls are made, e-mails are written and the list is changed every hour. With an average hourly wage of around 20 euros for staff in the club secretariat, the cost of rescheduling alone amounts to 160 euros for four hours. If 30 people cancel, the loss of the entry fee is 1050 euros.       <\/p>\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 whitespace-normal break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"533b608a-b5ed-4ee0-b758-d43e7b3da9c1\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-poxk59-c9cc2fc0d651d188332cc44c8c4b0832 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>INSERT_STEADY_NEWSLETTER_SIGNUP_HERE<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m1z5wpp6-cd10f7554ca696ab5a3fbd2d248e19e6 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>Then there is the information from the restaurant. It is set up for 60 people, but at the end of the day only 30 people come to eat. The purchase is too big. &#8220;The extreme weather conditions and the changes are what really hit us hard, because you simply can&#8217;t adjust to them,&#8221; summarizes Andreas Dorsch, Managing Director of the Golf Management Association in Germany.   <\/p>\n<p>While in southern Europe, the southern states of the USA, golf clubs in the United Arab Emirates or in Asian countries, dealing with extreme heat is standard practice, those responsible at golf courses that have very rarely had to host events on extremely hot days in the past now have to relearn procedures. Extreme heat leads to additional costs at golf courses if the golf course is not prepared for this type of extreme weather. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Green fee players stay away, green fee income is lost.<\/li>\n<li>The number of cancellations at short notice for events and tournaments is increasing. This leads to organizational costs and, at the same time, lower income in the catering sector. <\/li>\n<li>In extreme cases, tournaments are canceled and restaurants are closed to save unnecessary costs.<\/li>\n<li>The cost of measures to combat the heat increases, for example, with free drinks or the distribution of wet towels by a service employee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Better tournament organization in hot weather<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the long term, this means one thing above all for the management of golf courses: a <strong>significant improvement in preparation for tournaments on hot days<\/strong> is necessary.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Before the start of the season, employees in the club secretariat are trained in first aid and in particular in responding to health problems in hot weather.<\/li>\n<li>The club management monitors the weather forecasts over the long term and communicates before the registration deadline that high temperatures are to be expected.<\/li>\n<li>The start times will be moved to the early morning or an early cannon start will be offered.<\/li>\n<li>The use of sunshades, caps and electrolyte drinks is actively encouraged.<\/li>\n<li>The flights will be reduced to a maximum of three flights, if possible two-person flights, in order to guarantee the fastest possible process.<\/li>\n<li>Electric carts are actively offered and their availability is clearly communicated.<\/li>\n<li>Stations with water and drinks are continuously available during the round.<\/li>\n<li>During the tournament, at least one person who has completed a first aid course will be on site in the management team<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Only the golfer himself can decide whether and in what form he is able to play golf in extreme heat. Parents are responsible for young people and children. As the organizer of a tournament, however, the golf course can make the event a positive experience in high temperatures if it deals with the issue correctly. If they do not do this, the number of cancellations on the next hot day is likely to increase once again and with it the financial loss.   <\/p>\n<div hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/gruen-gegen-hitze-so-wirken-urban-green-spaces\/\" class='avia-iframe-wrap'>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"LZqFxMYTNE\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/sustainability-golf-green-against-heat\/\">Gr\u00fcn gegen Hitze &#8211;
