| Re: what foods
Hi folks . My wife is a dietician and she worked out this plan for me.
1. About three hours before golf, you should eat a light meal of easily digestible starches and sugars. Avoid foods high in fats (eg. butter, meat), protein (eg. meat, eggs) and fibre (eg. wholegrain bread, muesli). These foods will not be completely digested before starting time and may give you stomach cramps during the round. They also don't provide the right sort of energy for golf. Examples of good foods for this meal are spaghetti or other pasta (vegetarian, no meat or cheese sauces), fruit salad, toast or crumpets with honey (thin spread of margarine), or low fibre cereals such as Cornfakes or Special K. You should include a drink such as fresh orange juice and water.
2. If you feel like something just before hitting off, then if should be food or drink similar to those you are going to take during the round.
3 Drink plenty of fluid before the round to avoid dehydration and to help cool your body. The rule is 'Drink before you feel thirsty'.Once you feel thirsty your are already dehydrating and this is going to have adverse affects on concentration.
During the actual round, you should eat a small amount often (fruit eg. bananas, apple, half a sandwich every four to five holes). Sip on water, soda water or plain mineral water. Don't eat chocolate or drink Coke which contain a lot of sugar and caffeine.
