- You need to eat properly before leaving for a round of golf or
for that matter a tournament whatever. This is because long term
energy is required to take you through the whole round. The diet
should consist of both carbohydrates and proteins. This also has
this condition that it could be any meal of the day for that
matter.
- The ideal bowl of breakfast should comprise of something like a
bowl of oatmeal, a piece of fruit, one or tow eggs and juice could
be substituted for fruit. Either this or food having the same
nutritional components should be consumed.
- You need to be adequately warmed up before you start hitting
your balls. In some cases players show up for a round only minute
before play a few practice shorts and then start up. But this
actually not there warm up.
- A time gap of 30 minutes is advisable before start of play,
when you should begin your warm up. There needs to be a good amount
of basic body stretches done which will aid you in playing freely.
After stretches, toe touches and partial squats are also a good
idea. Following this go on and hit a few wedges, following this
pattern will definitely give you better results on the course.
- Drinking an adequate amount of water approximately a gallon
helps you digest your pre game meal. This also gives you a better
and more focused performance on the course. This should not be
taken lightly as dehydration can become acute and energy loss is
great, this will affect your focus and cause fatigue eventually.
Make it a point to drink water after every hole.
- Stretching is not required only when you feel that your muscles
have cramped up. This should be a constant feature.
- You need to keep moving around and flexing your muscles so that
you remain alert and not start feeling down and out. Many players
often complain of tight lower backs and shoulders etc during or
after the round. This cant just be left at complains can it?

follow proper directions and keep stretching your muscles regularly
then you will definitely notice betterment in your swinging
abilities.

mean that you have to have a full course menu along with your beer.
This means that you should have with you nutrition bars and fruits
to reenergize you after every 4- 6 holes. This is essential to keep
your body alert as hunger pangs will draw your concentration away
for the game totally. You could be going great guns in the first
round but somehow seem to lose it all by the late rounds, how? Stay
alert to the needs of your body and nutrition is one very important

If you felt that improving your game would be all about better
equipment, better technique, or better coaching, then please make a

play it. For the purpose of improving your game you need to look in
on the basic needs of your body and then concentrate on things like
equipment etc.
