BEAT THE HEAT: STAY COOL DURING YOUR GOLF ROUND!

BEAT THE HEAT: STAY COOL DURING YOUR GOLF ROUND! cover

With summer in full swing, it’s important to stay prepared and protect yourself from the heat while enjoying your time on the course. Follow these practical tips to keep cool, hydrated, and focused for a more enjoyable round:

Stay Hydrated

Start hydrating the day before your game and keep sipping water consistently during your round. Here’s a pro tip: freeze a bottle of water or a sports drink overnight. It will gradually thaw as you play, giving you refreshingly cool hydration for the back nine.

Choose the Right Clothing

Opt for light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing made from natural fibres with high absorption properties. These materials provide proper ventilation, helping you stay cool and comfortable even on the hottest days.

Prioritise Sun Protection

A wide-brim hat and sunscreen with SPF 30+ or higher are non-negotiables. Reapply sunscreen every few hours—especially after sweating—to shield yourself from harmful UV rays. Sunglasses with UV protection are also a great addition to your golf bag.

Seek Shade

Whenever possible, take advantage of shaded areas while waiting for your next shot or putt. Staying out of direct sunlight when you can will conserve your energy and help keep your body temperature down.

Play Smart in Extreme Heat

If the temperature reaches 36°C or higher, we strongly advise avoiding play during the hottest parts of the day. Consider delaying your game until the conditions are cooler. If you decide to play, team up with a group to ensure safety and support.

By taking these simple precautions, you can protect yourself from the summer heat while staying focused and enhancing your performance. Ready to tee off and beat the heat? We’ll see you on the course! 🏌️‍♀️☀️
