I trust the body to regulate the need itself.

It doesn't, though, and cognitive decline begins pretty early when water/dehydration are concerned.

I drink a lot of water to avoid dehydration and cramping. I’ve always had issue with that. 

Me too. I tend to drink no less than 64 oz in the winter time. In the summer at least twice that. 
I'm prone to cramping and cramping sucks. So, I drink plenty of water. BTW - I've become increasingly prone to cramping as I've aged. Aging sucks also.

Apparently dogs have taste buds for water and they like it. I don't think people like it as much as animals do.

Huh? 

I'd love to know where you got this information. Did you ask your dog? 

I'm not sure if I like or dislike the taste of water. It's water. It's one of the things that makes life on Earth possible.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Yep. It’s easy to get distracted during the day and hardly drink any water. Our bodies do not have a good systems to warn us early enough.

Some tips I like.

  1. Drink 16+ ounces of water when you wake up. The body can lose 1-2 lbs of water weight overnight. You are already in the red.
  2. If you know you are going to work out, or even walking 9 holes of golf. Drink water before hand and during the exertion. I was curious once, I did a 40 ish minute workout and I lost about 5 lbs of water weight. That is 80 ounces of water I need to replenish. Now I try to drink 24-36 ounces beforehand. 
  3. Aim for half an ounce of fluid, per pound of bodyweight, per day. Note, this is baseline not taking into account exercise or strenuous activity. Also, if you eat non processed foods, you can get a good amount through diet. If you eat processed foods, you need to drink more during the day.

Not technically accurate. ‘Be Our Guest’ restaurant sells alcohol in MK.🙂

I never have and never will subject myself to that.

Speaking of hydration though, Thursday I will drink myself around EPCOT, clock-wise of course, then hop on a plane to the Philippines. I will be well hydrated,

    • Day 126: another busy day, so just did some mirror work. Checking set up and backswing and working on a few downswing feels. 
    • Day 310 - Working on my follow-through. Higher chest, belt towards the target. Small swings at first, building to a fuller swing (still not thrilled with my short backswing).
    • Day 201 (19 Nov 24) - Walked the back nine at Minnesott today, played the “white” tees with the persimmon woods and bladed irons.  It’s a challenge I really like as the clubs are shorter in overall distances.  It really forces me focus on the value of the approach game.     Somehow yesterday’s post did not load / so it’s above.  Today (Day 202) I did some backyard short yardage work - 7i dink  and rolls, 9i chips and 50deg pitches - working to get it in before the rain started around noon. 
    • Day 51 - 2024-11-20 Played nine holes of Sanctuary Moon with a 6I while pausing in the backswing and otherwise just practicing. If you're into Star Wars, or don't actively hate it… this is worth checking out.
