If this is the case, I'd imagine that he will fail. That last round is going to be gross.

Can you explain this to somebody who's been at all involved in golf? I take it'll be tough since he'll just be exhausted by the end.. or what?

Pretty much. If his average score is 88 on a normal day, just playing one round, its not uncommon to shoot 5 strokes above or below that. So a 93 is very possible even w/o playing 4 rounds. Add in fatigue due to 110+ weather, and the fact that he has to carry his clubs and his back will be a knot on that last 18. I would guess that this will add about 10 strokes.

Plus, most "nice" courses in the West take 4+ hours to play in a cart b/c they are very spread out. So we're talking 16 hours of golf w/o talking in consideration bathroom, eating, water, slow play from other golfers, etc....
