Summer Heat Tips – BE COOL.

 

• Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated. Don’t wait until you are thirsty. Once you reach that point, you’re already dehydrated. Try taking a drink after every hole.

 

• Drink sports drinks with electrolytes when you are sweating for several hours.

 

• Avoid alcohol, high-caffeine and sugary drinks as they all can dehydrate you.

 

• Wear sunglasses and a hat to protect your eyes and the top of your head. Consider a wide-brimmed hat, long sleeves and moisture-wicking clothes.

 

• Apply and re-apply sun screen every two hours.

 

• Use your umbrella to provide shade from the sun.

 

• Use a towel doused in ice-cold water or a microfiber cooling towel to keep you refreshed.

 

• Be prepared and pack your favorite BE COOL items so you have them with you every time you golf in the Texas heat.
