That is why in golf turnaments they tend to choose white clothes .
wrong. most golfers wear dark clothing as it radiates most heat on sunny days which keeps them cool. And sunlight is badly absorbed through dark clothing too.

Reason: i hate quoting people.
3rd question . why is there differnt kinds of courts. eg. grass,clay,aand the other one i forgot. is there a differnt leage for each one or do you have to play on them all to win a leage??
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

what the hell, white clothing reflects the sun, not absorbs it dipshit :-/
"Yes, everone knows that wearing light colors in the summer keeps you cooler and if you wear black you get really hot. It's not just a fashion thing...
...if you see a blue T-shirt, it looks blue because the T-shirt has absorbed every color except blue. Following this reasoning, things that look black must absorb all frequencies of light, because just like the night time, black is a complete absence of light. And evidently white things must not absorb any light because in order to look white, the object must reflect all those colors."

You're half right. Yes, black clothing radiates heat better than white clothing, but it also absorbes heat better than white clothing. Infact, there's no way (based soley on color) that a piece of clothing can be both a better absorber and a poorer radiator than another piece of clothing. The two quantities are proportional.
If you want the technical breakdown of why, look up blackbody radiation on the web, or ask me in game.
