I don't golf when it's 115.
Earlier this summer, I went 10 innings behind the plate on a day with a heat index in that general vicinity. I didn't think I was going to die, but it wasn't far from it.

I jogged today, it was fine in the shade, but the sun was a bit of a factor.  I then rested and hit the gym and then the pool.  It was raining while I was gyming but it quit.  I didn't want to get wet at the pool.  I was the only one swimming, or present, it's like my personal pool.  Except on weekends.

So use sleeveless shirts for most of the layers, and keep your core toasty warm. Put on a pair of detached sleeves, and then a singular long sleeve shirt over top of it all. With a sleeveless vest over that. Free swinging, all day long.

Come up with solutions instead of excuses.
oh, I've played when it was 20 degrees more than a few times

when I can't feel my fingers it's just not enjoyable
I can putt with mittens, but swinging a 5-iron is tough and tingles the fingers when you don't hit the sweet spot

Just remember that if you drink in Texas, you have to break the bottle on the ground like you are spiking a football, once you are done consuming its contents. Otherwise it is just a dead giveaway that  "ya aren't from round here, are ya."

it's also tradition in Texas to toss the empty bottle in the air and shot it with your revolver from the hip whilst wearing a 10-gallon hat or a sombrero

I can see that you are already well versed in Texas drinking rules.

I bet that UTee spikes the bottle like a football, whereas Longhorn320 prefers to shoot it from the hip in a 10 gallon hat.

I don't golf when it's 115.
It is known as a 630 tee time.

I did stop umpiring baseball/softball when i moved out here.  Did the first summar, but no way am I wearing all that equipment in the heat.
