How much beer do you drink while playing???

[mirv]

i have a medical condition (recurrent pancreatitis) which prohibits me from drinking anywhere, ever. soooo... none for me!

[jb1982]

Usually 0 to 2 if playing competitive. But if I'm just playing with my wife and friends, I'll have a 6 pack and a few Caesars. A little "aiming fluid" never hurts.... actually it does hurt my score!

[I <3 Titleist]

Usually between 1-4 depending on what type of day it is. Winter, usually 1. Summer...3 to 4.

Nothing better than 100 degree afternoons and ice cold beer.

[leec]

usually a couple will do and won,t have any effect on my game but have a few more and my game goes downhill very fast.

I wish I could have a beer on the way around but I find it's hard enough to get all the bits of my swing together without having beer enter the equation. Afterwards is another story.

[George]

I don't usually have more than one or two. On many days I don't have any until I finish the round. I guess it really depends on with whom I'm playing.

[Big Padrigo]

I don't tend to drink on the course as I usually play in the mornings. When I do play in the afternoon in the summer here it can have a pretty negative impact. If I'm playing a social thing with my wife or whatever then I may have one or two with her, but thats about it.

[lumpuckeroo]

Same boat as Big Padrigo, most of my rounds are before 7 am, the few that are in the afternoon it's 90+ and I'm looking to stay hydrated.

Me and a few friends play the "drunk open" every year. We each drink one beer before we tee off. We play the hole, then the two on the losing team each have to drink a beer before they tee off on the second hole. If you lose three holes in a row, the other two have to drink a beer before they tee off on the 4th. Sometimes we have set teams, others we play it like 1-2-3-4, where from left to right, left being 1 and farthest right is 4, 1 & 3, and 2 & 4 are partners. This changes the teams up from hole to hole. I really don't think we have actually finished all 18 h oles

I play golf to play golf. Beer would get in the way. A cold one after is good, better if someone else has to buy.

I normally drink a 4-6 and have have a few puffs of the ol peace pipe. I have found it really does not effect my game either way.. So might aswell relax and quit thinking about how terrible I am playing..

Gasp! That's pretty much how I do it, too . There is a nice window, somewhere between two and five beers, where I can walk the line between looseness and focus. But sometimes the focus wanes toward the end of that window. I actually find the 'peace pipe' to be more of a focus breaker than the beer. I know this will shock some purists, but I've been known to say that 'as long as I'm riding a cart around the beautiful countryside drinking beer, I might as well play golf too.' I kid, I kid.

[moshdirtjumpr]

I never drink on the course. Im not a big drinker anyways.

That's what I've been thinking lately, too.

I just want to enjoy the round. A post round brew later on is nice...sip and think about what you did well and what you'd like to work on. A few rounds back, I played but absolutely sucked it up with my short wedges...those naibiters where you want to get it up and over a bunker but stop it quick....twenty yard shots and in....scary stuff for me. I finished the round....shook hands with everyone and all that. Picked up a couple of tall boys from the grill and headed over to our chipping/pitching green and worked on lob shots for an hour and then hit the shower. I left the course feeling refreshed and confident on my lob ability. It was helpful when I stood over that very shot the next round.

[flopdarock]

my buddies an i ditched work today and went out to play... the weather was overcast and almost 70*... needless to say we had a few while we were out there and at the turn when we had lunch

[chaptowngolfteam]

None, just water and gatorade for me. That may be because I am only 18, but that is besides the point.

[AXE]

I voted never, but probably once a year I'll have on or two on the course.

I knew my foursome and I weren't the only ones!
