Proper hydration on the golf course
The buzz about proper on-course hydration is all around us. So much so that I recently decided to give up my long term love affair with diet soda in favor of an increased water intake. I wouldn't consider myself an early adopter by any means, but I swear I'm feeling the positive effects of better hydration each day.
There is plenty of expert commentary on the subject. Mike Pedersen has a great post called The importance of water cannot be ignored. I am particularly fascinated with the digestive benefits of adding lemon to your drinking water. He has also done a bit of homework on which water brands are worth drinking.
So here we stand, at the beginning of the golf season and I find myself wondering how I will remain sufficiently hydrated on the course this summer. In years past I've guzzled randomly from the public water jugs placed throughout most courses. But the prank stories I've heard about those containers and what people do in them has me feeling a bit tenuous about continuing that practice.
Then, out of the blue, I received an email from a loyal golfnoise reader who has developed a nifty water bottle carrier system. It's called the Golfing Caddy. She expertly pointed out that most bags do not have a built in water carrier pocket. And, as I've been shopping for golf bags since my freaky golf club rip-off, I've noticed that she is absolutely correct.
She was kind enough to send me one and I'm quite pleased with it. It is a well-manufactured product that has a host of convenient features including a compartment that holds a 24 ounce bottle with a snuggly fitting insulation cooler sleeve. The study wrist strap is configured with a substantial metal clip that allows you to clip to your bag or carry it in hand. It also sports a nifty pleated pocket with a Velcro closure for sunglasses, a cell phone or some other quick access valuable. The attached micro fiber towel is perfect for wiping hands, golf balls or golf clubs.
In truth, I've haven't used my new Golfing Caddy on the course yet, but it was a welcome addition at my son's baseball game last week. It was also a perfect fit for a recent family hike through the park. I can't wait to load it up for the upcoming golf rounds. So if you're interested in improved hydration for the long and toasty summer ahead, jump over to BVT Products and check these carriers out. There are few models to choose from and the price is definitely right!
