There&#8217;s some good golf there, and I&#8217;m from the area. We&#8217;re playing 36 on Thursday, 36 on Friday, and 18 on Saturday. The last time I played 36 holes in a day was when I was 17 and in a golf tournament. I&#8217;m a little concerned about how my stamina will be. I haven&#8217;t played that much this year and I imagine it will be hot.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone has any tips for me on how to keep my scores low and my stamina high, leave it in the comments.
