Most golfers spend considerable time thinking about their swing, their equipment, and their course strategy — but almost no time thinking about what they eat and drink before, during, and after a round. This is a missed opportunity. A typical 18-hole round lasts four to five hours and covers five to seven miles of walking, … Read more
You step up to the first tee with a group of strangers watching, your hands tighten around the grip, your swing feels wooden and rushed, and the ball slices into the trees. Sound familiar?
