Keeping your guests hydrated on the golf course is essential to preventing any potential accidents during a hot day. It is easy to start feeling run down and become dehydrated out on the course in the hot summer months. Your guests must be drinking plenty of fluids outside playing on the green, not only for their golf skills but for their health and safety. When we are not fueling up on healthy liquids, our bodies are only becoming more depleted and faster when playing a full round of golf on a hot day. Failure to replenish ourselves comes with severe consequences. All too often, we walk around dehydrated on a day-to-day basis.
How to Keep Guests Hydrated on the Course
Sometimes it can be challenging to know when our bodies require more Water, and we continue to perpetuate the dehydration cycle. Dehydration can negatively impact your body in many ways, such as being at risk for overheating on the golf course and affecting the ability to make sound decisions and execute golf shots. Help your guests not be at risk for dehydration out on the course.
Limit Sugary Drinks and Alcohol
Do your guests know that dehydration is hurting their golf game? While many commonly enjoyed beverages on the golf course taste great and may give us a lift, they do not help the player. Sodas and sports drinks are not good options because the sugar content can cause blood sugar levels to rise. Thus, it can lead to poor performance on the golf course.
Drinking alcohol on the course is not helpful for the player either as it impedes cognitive abilities and motor functions and acts as a diuretic which significantly contributes to dehydration. So, how can we better prevent or alleviate dehydration? Drink more Water.
How to Stay Fully Hydrated
How do we remain correctly hydrated? While drinking water sounds pretty simple, it is essential to do it correctly. For best results, guests should consume no more than one quart of Water per hour to stay adequately hydrated. It may make it seem tricky when to drink Water. However, the general rule of thumb is to augment your body weight by two-thirds to determine the amount of Water you should drink.
Be sure to secure T2Green Insurance so that your business has the coverage necessary in case your guests have a health concern out on the course or become injured from an impaired judgment call.
It Doesn’t Only Have to Be Water
Drinking water is undoubtedly helpful in staying hydrated. However, most of the filtered Water we drink doesn’t have the minerals we need to help us stay hydrated, which is why athletes also like to supplement with other drinks with minerals such as electrolytes. Electrolytes will come in handy for your guests out on the green. The goal is to fuel up on the essentials and avoid any energy crashes on the course. However, consuming sports drinks with electrolytes here and there with the Water can be a good combination. Other great options to stay hydrated include herbal tea, coconut water, electrolyte-infused Water, or even watermelon. Keep in mind that maintaining proper hydration is an ongoing process, but getting in the habit of drinking enough fluids regularly is what will help your guests play their best on the course.
