Whatever is in my bag. Normally there's a bottle of water, but occasionally there's a good ol' bottle of Gatorade in there.

Mostly water, but I'll throw in a gatorade towards the middle of the round to get some carbs and energy in me.

For an early tee time, pretty much all Canadians drink Tim Horton's coffee. lol

I rarely drink alcohol at any time but if it's a really hot day I'll sometimes grab an ice cold beer at the turn.

My drink of choice at the turn though is an Arnold Palmer which, for some reason, my golf course hasn't offered so far this year. I'll have to look into that.

I went from a 20 handicap to a 2.7 by drinking this stuff!!!

Ha, unless you're drinking gatorade tiger "focus", the purple stuff which is actually pretty good. It does not help me focus, though.

i always drink alot of water during a round and i always take more than i think i will need.

If I hit it right, it's a slice. If I hit it left, it's a hook. If I hit it straight, it's a miracle.

Usually the green Tiger Gatorade. I'll admit that I first bought it because it was "Tiger's", but its my favorite flavor. Not too thick or overpowering like some of the others. 2 or 4 of these. A few weeks ago I drank a 44oz Cherry Coke at the turn and had a headache on the back. But the hot dog I got was huge, probably the best one I've ever had.

Water and on the weekend, water and beer but no more than 3 beers per round. Does anyone find that beer in moderation helps?

I'm a weekend duffer, who plays strictly for fun. I ususally drink 5 or 6 on the front, then another 5 or 6 on the back. I typically always shoot better on the back. Dont know if its from the buzz of from being warmed up. (My first swing of the day is always on #1 tee box). After a few beers I tend to loosen up and quit thinking so much and just hit the ball.

I always have 2-3 beers when I play.

Scratch that - there is one group that I play with occasionally that doesn't drink, so I don't either. In that case it's diet coke. Like 3 of them.

I think that the relaxation that can come from beer helps. If beer allows you to relax, then it helps. I shot my lowest score to date borderline drunk, haha.

I usually just drink a lot of water, especially walking. Every once in a while I'll drink some beers while playing, if I'm really looking to enjoy myself.

Usually I bring a gatorade and fill it up periodically with water fountains on the golf course. Every once in a while I will go out with a buddy and split an 18 pack or we will each bring a 6 pack of tall cans. Golf can't be seriously 100% of the time, at least not for me. It's a hobby and will likely stay this way.

I will always bring a bottle to put water in.

On the really hot days I will keep a small cooler in the car for Gatorade (courses around here usually don't allow brought in drinks) and get a bottle or two at the turn. I don't really care for the Powerade flavors that most places have so I bring my own. I try and stay away from soda unless it is a Mt. Dew in the morning. Although sometimes it is nice to drink something that has a flavor. I don't drink at all so beer is never an option.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

Gatorade and water. I usually carry two bottles of water and a gatorade. In scramble events I'll drink several beers.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
