2 or 3 fruit punch gatorades and when they are empty i refill with water and flavor it with mio energy (the black cherry isnt bad). if im playing at my home course i usually grab a couple hot dogs or a wrap at the turn. then a few pints of blue moon after the round with a burger or something hearty.

I'm the same way.....................I positively NEVER EVER drink alcohol while playing golf.  We are probably the rare exception.........LOL

Since I got serious about my game, I don't drink alcohol on the course.  I tend to drink Gatorade and water usually.

For me its almost exclusively water.  If I'm tired during a morning round I'll have a D. Coke for the caffeine.  Very occasionally with certain friends I'll have a couple beers.

I start every early round of golf with 2 diet cokes in the cart.  They usually last to the 6th tee water cooler where I fill my water bottle.  LOL

I tend to be in the minority here but If its the weekend I am golfing with buddies and I am usually heading to the golf course with atleast a six pack for myself and a footlong subway sandwich stuffed in my bag. I have bought water bottles at the turn and not touched em. I never really pound them but I try and pace myself 1 beer per 3 holes. unfortunately I am sometimes buying more beer before the end. A reason for a six instead of just a couple is that I dont really find beer worth drinking unless you're feeling something. If im golfing after work then I probably won't drink but I will sometimes stop and grab a few.

Although last weekend 7 am tee time I only had a gatorade because it was so early and I shot only 14 over but it was an executive but just barely. Maybe worth a try but Im mostly out there to have fun on the weekends and try and play some good golf but my better rounds are gonna come from playing by myself after work.

On my last CA golf trip, my buddy and I had half a case of Paso Robles rose' in the car.  We went through two bottles a side.  Sounds totally gay, but it was great wine, a great golf course, and a great time.

This. I have a stainless steel bottle, holds about 3 glasses of wine. Red during the winter, frozen white during the summer. Even for tournaments, it relaxes me and it's yummy. I do also bring water to stay hydrated.

I have a CamelBak water bottle in my bag that I fill from the various coolers that are around the course.  It's a non-leaching bottle, and a great way to save a buck.  When I'm screwing around with my buds, I might have a couple of beers as well (swing oil), which actually loosens me up quite a bit.

A couple of years ago my men's club SCGA Thursday team won the match play title (vs. LACC), and I had a ritual that I would always drink a spicy bloody mary before we teed off (first group usually went off at 9am), and it must have worked, I went undefeated in 4 singles matches en route to the title.

I put Arnold Palmer in the freezer the night before, by about the 4th hole I consume that which has melted and replace it with Traverse City Vodka.  When empty I refill with water only to complete the round. It Just takes the edge off.

Water and Gatorade for me. I normally start the round with water and Gatorade on the back.

I pick up a 44oz Dr Pepper and it will usually make it through the whole round for me. I don't drink at all when playing (or any other time anymore for that matter, 4 years sober now).

    • I have won the net division of the 2024 William Anderson Match Play Championships at Neshanic Valley Golf Course.
    • I won the net division of the match play tournament. Yesterday was the semifinals and my opponent conceded the round to me on the 2nd hole because he knew he would be unavailable for the final today. I got lucky there and got a bye into the finals. We did end up playing our match as an exhibition and I would have lost. It was the worst round of the tournament for me and I think knowing that the match didn't matter might have been a factor. I'll write up a blog post about the whole experience at some point. Today I won, 3&1. My opponent and I halved the first three holes much to his credit. I was striping it and he just kept scrambling and hanging in there. We both blew up on the par 3 4th hole but I ended up taking that one by holing an 8-footer for double bogey. I went up 2 after he put two in the penalty area on #5 and promptly gave that hole back by putting my tee shot into the penalty area on #6 by a foot. It's important to note that most of the penalty areas on this course are deemed environmentally sensitive areas and we are not allowed to enter or play shots out of them. So even though I physically was able to play a shot from where I was on #6, I could not, by rule. I followed that by winning #7, making a 25' birdie putt and finished the front 9 3 up after he had some bunker trouble on #9. I went up 4 by winning #11 (we both sucked on that hole but he missed the putt to halve). On #12 we both hit the green with our tee shots. He hit his first putt past the hole and I lagged mine inside of 4' with an uphill putt for par. His putt for par was too long again, just inside of mine but definitely outside of gimme range. I gave him that one for bogey. I felt at the time, being 4 up, that I didn't want to win the hole because he ends up missing a 3-footer and fourputted or something. I wanted to win the hole by making my par putt. I did not. He probably would have made the putt anyway (he's not me after all, and he made everything in that range all day) but it seemed like the sporting thing to do at the time. He was genuinely surprised I gave it to him, butI felt good about it. Then it almost bit me in the ass as he started to mount a comeback. We halved #13 after he made a great up & down and he took #14 with a long par putt. He also won #15 with a 5' birdie putt. We halved #16 with a pair of bogeys after he put his tee shot in the water and I missed a 4-footer for the win. We got to #17 and I was still 2 up. He hit his tee shot just off the back of the green to an extended apron area short of the back bunker and I put mine on the green pin high but 30' away. He was actually closer so I played first and hit it within a foot for par. He didn't hole out for birdie which sealed the match and ended up making bogey on the hole. With the pressure off, we both played the par 5 #18 well. He played it as a three shot hole like a normal person and hit it to 8' and two-putted for par. I striped my drive and ended up with a downhill lie to an uphill approach like 180 yards out and gave myself the green light to go for it in two. Thin hooked it into thick rough to the left of the green with a bunker in between and hit a high flop to 4', probably my best shot of the day. Made the birdie putt.
