Hydration on the course

​Are you hydrating enough on the golf course? If not, you may find yourself having difficulty finishing the round strong and focused. Sipping a little bit of water before teeing off, at every hole, is a good practice to have.
 
On extremely hot days however, plain water may not be sufficient to maintain proper electrolytes level in the blood stream. In other words, we need to replace the sodium we lose as we sweat. 

Instead of grabbing your favorite sports drink (which most likely contains tons of sugar and other ingredients not necessarily good for our health), try the following recipe.
​

It is hydrating, tasty, and good for you! Mix a small batch and get creative with the ingredients, depending on your taste. For example, I am a fan of ginger and I typically add pureed ginger to this recipe.
