In N. Florida, these days, the temperature is nearing 100 degrees. Soon it will be very hot in the Mid-West and most other parts of the country. Here is some important advice for golfers.
In Atlanta twelve years ago, I walked along with Jack Nicklaus as he was playing in a Sr. PGA tour event.I noticed that at every tee box there was a water jug. Jack Nicklaus stopped for a cup of water on every tee box as he arrived.
Anyone who has suffered from kidney stones will tell you to drink plenty of water during the hot summer months. It is a very good idea to take a bottle of water with you when you play golf in the summer time and most other times of the year. Hydrating before you play is good advice. Taking water during your round of golf is also recommended.
Dehydration intereferes with your ability. Skipping breakfast also interferes with your game. Taking a snack at the turn is advisable and helps your game. Water and snacks are today's good advice.
Coffee and Colas are not advisable as they dehydrate. Gator-Ade is good. Beer is debateable. Probably not in your best interests if you are trying to perform your best.
Always hydrate before and during your round of golf.
