Keeping the energy levels up in a round?

Solarpitch · 2010-08-17 21:48:28

This might seem like a weird question but more often than not, I find myself lacking energy come the last couple of holes on the course. When I get to the 14th or so I can feel myself getting a little deflated and concentration just goes.. especially when it's a round with nothing but hold ups. I'm generally talking about…

This might seem like a weird question but more often than not, I find myself lacking energy come the last couple of holes on the course.

When I get to the 14th or so I can feel myself getting a little deflated and concentration just goes.. especially when it's a round with nothing but hold ups. I'm generally talking about morning rounds.

I mean apart from stuffing the bag with bananas and chocolate, whats good for keeping the energy levels up before you even walk onto the course? You hear alot about certain foods are great for concentration levels and so on.. does anyone here think about this before they play?

I suppose a bowel of coco pops and a nutri-grain isnt the best thing to be going out on.

Some older threads that dealt with eating before and during the day...

Interested in the berocca (boost) trick, might try that one myself.
Lately have been keeping Harvest Fare Mixed Nuts and Raisins handy. http://www.boynevalley.com/ourcompanies/product_info.php?cPath=46&products_id=127
I got them in Tesco online and the bags had extra free so they were pretty big and the handy thing is they keep in the golf bag without going off because it takes a few rounds to go through the stuff, but they are tasty and good to nibble on.
Always drink plenty of water... sometimes a sandwich, often an apple or two, nutrigrain bars if I don't have the nuts and raisins. Love chocolate but golf and sunshine and chocolate together = headache/migrane for me after the game

You need to keep your energy going all round and not just waiting until your energy is low cause it will take time to get into the system

What you eat before your round and even the night/day before is also worth looking at.
