First, let’s make sure your round is comfortable enough that you can enjoy your time afterward.

Tips for Playing Golf in Early Summer

Whatever wears you out on a hot day of golf, you want to do the exact opposite. So, here’s some advice.

  1. Be aware of how you feel

Heat exhaustion — or worse — will derail your golf getaway. Be aware of dehydration signs. These include:

  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Inability to sweat
  • Irritability
  • Light-headedness
  • Muscle cramps
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Sticky mouth
  • Weakness
  1. Use sunscreen

The summer sun can wear you out. It won’t keep you cooler, but it’ll help prevent a raging sunburn and elevated body temperature. Sunburns hold in the heat.

  1. Drink enough water

There’ll be plenty of time for a pilsner later. Water — half your body weight, in ounces — every day you play is ideal. Start early.
