Nutrition on the Golf Course

Would you change the way you eat if you knew certain foods could help you play better golf? Karen Palacios Jansen explains how to fuel up for a round of golf.

One area recreational golfers most often neglect is their nutritional intake before and, especially, during a round of golf. The term “the wheels are falling off” usually comes mid-round when you start to lose focus and your muscles start to fatigue. One way to alleviate this syndrome, so that you don’t destroy an otherwise good round of golf when your energy levels are low, is to pay attention to what you eat and drink throughout your round.
