How to Beat the Heat on the Golf Course This Summer

Summer is just around the corner - the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the golf courses are in full swing. But with the warmer weather comes a new set of challenges, especially when it comes to staying cool and comfortable on the links. At Golfista, we've learned a thing or two about beating the heat on the golf course, and we're here to share our top tips with you.

Stay Hydrated

One of the most important things you can do to beat the heat on the golf course is to stay hydrated. It's easy to get dehydrated when you're out in the sun for hours on end, and dehydration can lead to fatigue, dizziness, and even heat exhaustion. Make sure to bring plenty of water with you and drink it regularly throughout your round. Avoid sugary or caffeinated drinks, as they can actually contribute to dehydration.

Avoid Alcohol

Speaking of drinks, it's also important to avoid alcohol while you're on the golf course. While a cold beer might sound refreshing in the moment, it can actually make you more dehydrated and contribute to fatigue. Save the celebratory drinks for after your round.

Fuel Up Before Your Round

Another key to beating the heat is to make sure you're fueled up before you hit the course. Eat a healthy, balanced meal or snack before your round to give your body the energy it needs to power through the heat. Bring some healthy snacks with you, too, like trail mix or energy bars, so you can refuel as needed.

Protect Yourself from the Sun

Of course, one of the biggest challenges of playing golf in the summer is protecting yourself from the sun's harmful rays. Make sure to wear a high-quality, UPF50+ polo shirt, like the ones we offer at Golfista Apparel Co. Our polos are designed to keep you cool and comfortable while providing maximum sun protection.

You should also consider wearing sun sleeves, which can help shield your arms from the sun's rays. And don't forget to apply sunscreen liberally before and during your round.

Play Earlier in the Day

If possible, try to schedule your golf rounds earlier in the day, when the sun is less intense. The early morning hours are often cooler and more comfortable, and you'll avoid the peak heat of the afternoon.

Park in the Shade

Finally, make sure to park your golf cart in the shade whenever possible. This can help keep your cart and any gear you have inside it from getting too hot and uncomfortable.

By following these tips, you can beat the heat and enjoy a comfortable, enjoyable round of golf this summer. And don't forget to check out our selection of stylish and functional golf apparel at Golfista Apparel Co. - we've got everything you need to stay cool and protected on the course.
