Some advice about playing on hot summer days.
☀️ Sun Protection: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every two hours, ensuring you cover your face, neck, arms, and legs. Wear UV-protective sun sleeves designed for golfers to provide additional protection for arms. Apply sunscreen to often-overlooked areas like your scalp, ears, and the tops of your feet. Wear a wide-brimmed hat to shield your face, ears, and neck from the sun. Opt for sunglasses with UV protection.
💧 Hydration: drink at least 500ml of water two hours before your game and continue drinking water throughout the round – around 3 litres!Sip an electrolyte-rich drink to replenish lost fluids and minerals. Pack hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and berries for a pre-game snack to boost hydration.
🌬️ Stay Cool: Consider teeing off during cooler times, such as before 9am or after 4pm. Make use of shaded areas on the course to avoid direct sunlight. Use a wet cooling towel draped around your neck to lower body temperature.
