By the time you’re desperate for a drink, your concentration may already be fading. Golf makes this easy to miss because you’re not sprinting; you’re walking, waiting, swinging, and thinking for several hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>The usual traps\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Only drinking at the turn:\u003C\u002Fstrong> That’s too late for many rounds.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Relying on coffee alone:\u003C\u002Fstrong> It may be part of your morning, but it isn’t a round plan.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Packing one small bottle:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Fine for a cool nine, risky for a hot 18.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Ignoring sweat rate:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Some players simply lose more fluid than others.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Forgetting juniors and seniors:\u003C\u002Fstrong> They may need reminders and easier access.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Ch3>Hydration and judgment\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Poor hydration often shows up as bad decisions before it shows up as dramatic fatigue. You rush a wedge, choose driver when a hybrid is enough, or lose patience after one missed putt.

Know where refills are on the course. Bring a backup bottle when walking. If you play tournaments or long practice days, rehearse your hydration plan just like you rehearse your warm-up.
