Next weekend myself and two pals are hopping on the plane to Queenstown with the following itinerary: Fri: Jack's Point Sat AM: Arrowtown Sat PM: Roxburgh Sun: Wanaka Other than the front nine at Wanaka, all will be new to me. Very excited to see them all and fingers crossed for good weather. A great selection of courses in the area - Millbrook, Hills, Queenstown, Alexandra and Cromwell will have to wait until next time! Someone might point me in the direction of the best place to post/view photos as I haven't yet encountered a dedicated forum for that (no doubt user error!).

Hello all My name's Conor. I'm from Scotland and have lived and golfed there and in Ireland for many years, but am currently based in Auckland. Have played golf for many years with periods of more or less activity/improvement. Keen to get stuck in to TST and thought I would say hi before I lean on your collective wisdom when I post the first video of my swing! Cheers Conor

I think this is key here. Being fully focussed for four hours is unrealistic. This makes a lot of sense, particularly if you think you are losing focus when you are distracting yourself between shots. You mention hydration and snacks so you maybe have this covered, but your focus/decision-making ability deteriorates rapidly without adequate hydration especially. In the case of both nutrition and water, a rule that is often applied in endurance sports is "If you feel hungry/thirsty, it's too late". I expect the best nutrition sources/pattern for golf are discussed elsewhere, but it sounds from your description like you would benefit from taking a look at what/how much you are eating prior to and during your round.
