researchers looked at 15,000 women over the age of 70 and found that those who slept too little or too much had worse cognitive function as they aged. >> on the short end women who were sleeping five or less hours and on the long end women were sleeping nine or more hours. >> reporter: researchers performed a number of memory tests over six years on the women in the study. they found that too little or too much sleep was equivalent to aging a year and a half. with an estimated 16 million americans expected to have alzheimer's by 2050, the findings could have big implications. >> we may need to start looking in the future at strategies for potentially reducing cognitive impairment and alzheimer's disease. >> reporter: as people age, they tend to sleep less, and the sleep they do get tends to get more fragmented. researchers say seven hours seems to be ideal. >> i've been blessed that i do sleep well and i don't have a problem with it but i'll

definitely -- seven hours is my new target. >> reporter: it's certainly something to sleep on. randall pinkston, cbs news, new york. >> researchers also say that the change in the amount of time that women sleep is just as important as how long they sleep. women who sleep -- whose sleep changed at least two hours per day from the beginning of the study to the end purchased worse on cognitive tests than those with no change. keep that in mind. the president and first lady were caught kissing on camera. they started out a little camera shy at first. when the kiss cam showed them last night at the game. verizon center. around the crowd booed them. you know crowds. and then the camera showed them a second time and i think their daughter said kiss, kiss, kiss. this time the president planted a big one on his wife.

and the crowd loved it. >> oh, yeah. they seem so in love. >> the daughters cheering them on. >> yeah, yeah. it's going to be hot today so get ready. >> exactly. the good thing is, this heat won't be lasting for days on and days out. it's a couple of days of some pretty hot weather and then we'll cool down relatively pretty quickly by the end of the week. so for today i think we could challenge some records. temperatures will get up into the upper 90s and close to 100 degrees today. we do have a chance for some isolated storms today, better chance will be tomorrow. by 9:00 temperatures will cool down into the lower 90s. here's a look at our michael & son weather camera. you can see we've got mostly sunny skies out there. right now temperature 93 in downtown. dew points are in the 60s and 70s. so it will still be humid. the winds are calm. unfortunately no breeze to help us cool down a little bit. satellite and radar picture

showing us high pressure in control. tomorrow things will change as a front comes through tomorrow through thursday and then we'll see cooler air by then and some storms, though. currently 93 in downtown. 90 in gaithersburg. 93 in culpeper. 90s in winchester. pretty much everybody in the 90s with a few exceptions and the dew points, yeah, still pretty humid out there. 69 in downtown. 7 0z up north -- 7 ons up north. -- 70s up north. it's going to feel hot there. we'll challenge the record of 100 degrees set in 1997. here's a look at the 9 futurecast. just a slight chance for a pop- up thunderstorm. anything that does end up bubbling up today has a chance to be strong or severe. now, tomorrow a better chance for some showers and storms arrive in the afternoon and for the evening hours and those storms tomorrow also have a chance to be strong to severe. so you definitely want your

umbrellas tomorrow. thursday also will be unsettled as well. probably will see some more cloud cover. thursday will not be as hot compared to today and tomorrow. we start in western maryland. oakland 83. cumberland 94. hagerstown and martinsburg in the mid-90s. culpeper 100. warrenton, manassas in the upper 90s. in downtown we're getting up to 99 degrees. annapolis upper 90s. pax river 97 degrees. all right. the nats are also playing tonight for baseball. first pitch at 7:05. it will be in the mid-90s then. also a slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm so keep that in mind. make sure you bring lots of water. next three days code yellow because of the heat and tomorrow looking hot as well. upper 90s. thursday not as hot but still unsettled, around 90 degrees for thursday. friday and saturday into the 80s. the weekend actually looks really nice. temperatures will top out in the mid- to upper 80s so enjoy your weekend. jc's back after the break.

i'm one on one today we greg lynch, a pga golf professional at the golden horseshoe golf club down in williamsburg next door to the williamsburg inn. and happy 75th anniversary, williamsburg. they're celebrating their 75th anniversary. the golf course will be celebrating its 50th anniversary next year. and so greg has come with his

very professional putter. i'm not good at putting. but that's okay. he's going to help me today. look at that putter you brought. i don't have a putter that looks like take. >> this is actually an odyssey putter. we carry callaway equipment at the horseshoe. i just grabbed one of my putters and came. >> what do we need to keep in mind when we're putting? holding the putter properly? the stance? just give me some quick tips. >> everyone has their own type of grip on the putter. there's no right or wrong way. it's whatever feels comfortable. what i would recommend is this is the front part of the putter. i would recommend you putting your thumbs on what's called the paddle of the grip and that's what i would recommend to anyone that plays. the type of grip is all up to the individual. >> that putter, it's intimidating. does that help you the way it's shaped? it's so odd. >> yes, it's called a two-ball

putter. the object is to line up the two balls behind the ball that you're trying to hit. and line up -- it helps with alignment. that's the goal of it. >> you've been playing golf for how long? >> i've been playing golf since college or a little bit before college. i don't really want to tell you how long ago that was but over 20 years i've been a golf professional. >> so if i want to get better at my game and i don't have a game right now, one of the things you need to play how many times a week? >> i would recommend probably playing at least one time a week or just to kind of keep yourself fresh. everyone is busy with their lives. if you enjoy it like i do and hopefully you do, try to play every once in a while. >> i do enjoy it but i need to get better. williamsburg is a great place to go. you have a fabulous golf course. it's great for the whole family. i don't have to tell but the history in williamsburg. there are so many things to do. but of course if you're a golfer, you want to go to that golden horseshoe golf course.

it's beautiful. >> we have 45 holes of golf. our golf course is the top 50 golf course in america. so we recommend you coming to play. >> only three hours from washington. it's a great drive. thanks for being with us. come back and visit us at 5:00. i'm going to do better. i promise.
