The Asp took to the green amid high temperatures that reached 30C, but things didn't turn out as well as he hoped.
The Stockport native shared a photo showing the toll the bright sun took on him.
The thrower might be regretting his hat choice as it left him with a hilarious tan line on his head.

Live tracker reveals where 100m Americans will roast under 'heat dome' starting TODAY
More than 100 million Americans from the Central Plains to the Northeast are bracing for a powerful heat dome that will bring extreme temperatures through next week. A heat dome, a high-pressure system that traps hot air and blocks cooler air, is driving prolonged heat waves across the US. The National Weather Service (NWS) reports that on Friday, temperatures in central states like Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois will climb to the upper 90s to low 100s°F, with heat indices exceeding 105°F due to high humidity. Cities like Omaha, Topeka, and Kansas City face excessive heat warnings, signaling serious health risks for those without adequate cooling or hydration. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan are also sweltering, with highs in the low to mid-90s°F and heat indices nearing 100°F. Minneapolis is among the cities under heat advisories. Over the weekend, the heat dome will shift eastward, intensifying heat in the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. On Saturday, New York City will reach the low 90s°F, with heat indices near 100°F due to humid Atlantic air. By Sunday, Boston and Philadelphia are forecast to hit the mid-90s°F, with heat indices up to 104°F. The NWS urges residents to drink plenty of fluids, stay in air-conditioned spaces, avoid direct sunlight, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Cooling centers are opening in cities like New York and Philadelphia to provide relief. A heat dome occurs when a large area of high pressure in the upper atmosphere acts as a reservoir that traps heat and humidity, said Ricky Castro, a NWS meteorologist in Illinois. AccuWeather Meteorologist Alex Duffus warned: 'From Monday to Wednesday, the Northeast will face dangerous heat, with widespread highs in the 90s and some areas nearing 100°F, spiking energy demands and requiring limited exposure.' The heat dome will peak on Monday, June 23, with the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and New England at 'high risk' of extreme heat, potentially straining power grids. Tom Kines, a meteorologist at AccuWeather, said: 'A lot of those folks have been saying, where's summer? Well, buckle up, because it's coming.' With limited days of warmth over much of the northern Plains, Midwest and Northeast so far this year, the surging heat could catch people off guard as it will be accompanied by some of the most intense sunshine of the year along with high humidity levels. With sweltering humidity and relentless daytime heat, many urban areas are expected to see little relief overnight. Temperatures will briefly dip into the 70s before climbing again, making it difficult for those without air conditioning to cool down or recover, according to AccuWeather meteorologist Danielle Ehresman. The intense conditions will likely drive up energy demand and significantly increase the risk of heat-related illness. AccuWeather warns that RealFeel® Temperatures could soar 5 to 15 degrees higher than actual readings, topping 100°F in many regions, even where the official highs remain in the 90s. Residents are urged to limit outdoor activity during the midday and afternoon hours when the heat will be at its most oppressive. AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Chad Merrill said: 'The magnitude and longevity of this heat wave will be a shock to the system.' Doctors urge the public to take excessive heat warnings seriously, as extreme temperatures pose a significant health risk. Each year, more than 700 people in the US die from heat-related illnesses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Fifth National Climate Assessment identifies extreme heat as the deadliest weather-related hazard in the country.

Why your hayfever may be bad at the moment
Sneezing, itchy and running eyes, or a scratchy throat. All can take the pleasure out of a sunny summers day, and all could be due to pollen levels in your the next few days very high grass pollen levels are predicted across the respite should come for some from Sunday onwards as we move to slightly breezier, more changeable you're not on your own as pollen-induced hayfever affects approximately 13 million people in the UK and around 95% of those cases can be attributed to grass. We are currently just past the peak of the grass pollen season, which generally runs from late May to early we can expect regional variations in the length and potency of that across the northern Scotland it tends to be shorter, but in areas such as south-east England grass pollen can continue to affect some people all the way through until early not just grass pollen that could be the cause of those sneezes at the moment pollen and fungal spores are also on the rise as they head towards their summer peak. Whilst dry and warm weather are often responsible too, some types of fungal spores, such as Leptosphaeria can increase temporarily during you're very badly affected at the moment you might be pleased to know that this year grass pollen levels aren't expected to be above average over all. Met Office spokesperson Stephen Dixon said this is due to the UK weather in late spring where the combination of warm weather increased grass growth, but the dry conditions conversely reduced that growing potential."While short dry spells and high temperatures mid-season can increase pollen levels, over a prolonged period this could lead to depletion of the available pollen on the plants," he added. When are pollen levels at their highest? Pollen levels can vary from day to day, even hour to hour depending on weather are at their highest during dry and in warm weather, but can decline if the dry spell is a prolonged onset of rainfall helps to dampen down pollen, but the return of a dry and sunny spell can see a sudden rise in levels of day can be crucial too. Hayfever can be at it's worst early morning and from late afternoon onwards. On sunny days, these are the times when winds tend to be at their lightest and the pollen is concentrated in the lower atmosphere, close to nose and eyes. Is there anything I can do to avoid pollen? It's not an easy thing to avoid here in the UK.A first step could be to check the forecast where you are. Up to date forecasts are available on the BBC Weather website and app from late spring to early search for your location and you will find the latest data alongside the UV forecast. If you are particularly susceptible to hayfever try to avoid being outdoors early and in late in the day when pollen levels can be at their and changing your clothes once you've returned home can help to reduce the be mindful when hanging washing out on high pollen days. Pollen landing on clothes and sheets can then be easily brought don't forget our beloved pets. Limit contact or wash hands after handling them if they have also been you want to escape high pollen days sometimes a trip to the coast may help. However, you will need a location where there is a steady wind coming in off the sea and not the land. Is climate change affecting the pollen season? Like much of the natural world, our changing climate is likely to impact pollen levels in the UK in the years to a Government report on the health affects of climate change in the UK, external there are three ways a warming world could impact pollen patternsChanges in temperature and rainfall patterns could lengthen the pollen season and increase pollen is possible that pollen particles could become more potent, with greater amounts of the allergy causing agent on them.A changing distribution of allergenic plants across the UK, including invasive species, could see potential pollen levels increase in some areas.

Hot weather appliances that are adding to your energy bills this summer – and the cheaper alternatives
SOME of your favourite hot weather appliances and gadgets could be guzzling through energy and seeing your bills shoot up this summer. Households are basking in glorious sunshine across the UK with some facing record-breaking temperatures for the second day running. A number of areas are expected to have passed the heatwave criteria this afternoon too, according to the Met Office. But while many of us rejoice at the idea of basking in the sun, plenty will be looking for ways to keep cool during the day and night. Some of those hot weather appliances designed to keep temperatures down can end up churning through energy though. USwitch has revealed just how much some of them could be costing you per hour. The full list is in the table above, but we've listed some of the most costly ones below. Aircon unit (built in) - £40 Air-con units are great at keeping you cool overnight, but are some of the most fuel-guzzling appliances out there. Under the current price cap, a 2,700 watt built in air con unit costs you a whopping 73p an hour to run. Used for just eight hours overnight that's £5.84, or £40.88 based on eight hours of use night over seven days. Aircon unit (portable) - £15 Portable aircon units work similarly to built in ones, except they are, as the name suggests, portable. They are generally cheaper to run than built in units, but still churn through your energy. Under the current price cap, a 1,000 watt unit costs around 27p to run per hour. How to cut energy costs and get help with FOUR key household bills Over eight hours that's £2.16, or £15.12 based on eight hours a night over seven days. Dehumidifier - £2.80 Dehumidifiers can keep you cool by sucking in moisture from the surrounding area - but be wary of the costs. A 12-litre size 185 watt unit will cost you around 5p an hour to run under the current price cap, according to Uswitch. That's 40p over eight hours or £2.80 based on eight hours of usage a day for a week. Air cooler cube - £1.28 Air cooler cubes work similarly to air conditioning units but are generally smaller and more portable. They're cheaper to run than their larger cousins as well, but leave one on for long enough and costs can still rack up. Uswitch said under the current price cap, a 75 watt model will set you back 2p an hour to run - 16p over an eight hours time period. Based on eight hours of usage a day over seven days, that's £1.28. Ceiling fan - £1.28 7 Ceiling fans work by pushing air downwards, accelerating the evaporation of sweat from your skin. But they're not exactly the cheapest appliances to run, especially if you're using them on the regular. A 75 watt model uses around 2p an hour to run, under the current price cap, or 16p over an eight hours time period. Stacked up over seven days and you'll be forking out £1.28. Desktop fan - 50p 7 There's nothing like the cool breeze from a desktop fan, but they'll eat through your energy. A 35 watt appliance costs 0.9p to run per hour, which is 7.2p over eight hours, and 50p stacked up over a week. Pedestal fan - 90p Pedestal fans, due to them being larger than desktop fans, are more costly to run per hour. Uswitch said a 60 watt model costs 1.62p to run an hour, which is 12.96p over eight hours and roughly 90p based on eight hours seven days a week. Cheaper ways to keep cool There are other effective ways to keep cool that cost absolutely nothing. Checkatrade insulation expert Lee West told The Sun earlier this week even the way you open windows can keep your home cooler. During the evening, he said, open windows on opposite sides of your property to create a cross-breeze. This so-called "night-flush ventilation" allows cooler air to circulate around your home and trapped heat inside to escape. Hanging already damp sheets in front of open windows or in the path of a fan can create a cooling effect too. Even placing your mattress directly on the floor instead of on a bed frame can keep you from overheating overnight as well. Staying safe in the sun While warmer weather can be fun, it is important to stay safe and avoid over heating - here are some other top tips to stay safe in the sun Wear clothes and sunglasses that provide sun protection The NHS website recommends wearing a hat that shades the face, neck and ears and breathable fabrics that do not let the sunlight through. Drink water Staying hydrated in the warmer weather is also important. Be sure to carry a water bottle with you if you are travelling and taking sips throughout the day. Use suncream According to the NHS webiste, adults should aim to apply around 6 to 8 teaspoons of sunscreen if you're covering your entire body. If sunscreen is applied too thinly, the amount of protection it gives is not as effective If you're worried you might not be applying enough SPF30, you could use a sunscreen with a higher SPF. .
