Why do your veins in your legs dilate when playing golf in the heat?

Your skin is like your body's air conditioner. When it is hot, you "open" your vents (dilate blood vessels). When it's cold, you close it up (constrict, which gives your skin a "bluish" appearance). If you are golfing, you are using a lot of energy in your legs creating a lot of heat. Therefore, your body will open up those "vents" the most.
