If you want to play better this summer you need to get your mind and body ready. My three keys to playing in extreme heat (and humidity) is to add electroyltes (Re-lyte is my favorite), eat plenty of food to stay energized, and get plenty of rest.  According to Sponer, “Dehydration can not only impact your performance physically but it can also negatively impact your mental game. Your cognitive performance is just as important as your physical performance. Dehydration can lead to slower reaction times, increased fatigue, and poor concentration.” Your golf game depends on your hydration...Dehydration is a killer to performance!  WICKED SMART GOLF Recommended Products Decade Golf - The #1 Course Management System (use code WICKEDSMART to save 20%) Mental Golf Type - The Best Mental Game Training (use code WICKEDSMART to save 25%)  Rypstick - The #1 Speed Trainer to Hit Bombs (use code WICKEDSMART to save 10%)  Mental Golf Coaching - Get 1:1 support to lower your handicap, master your mental game, and have more fun.  Wicked Smart Golf Academy - The Fastest Way to Play Consistent Golf  Also, don’t forget to connect on social media: Follow on TikTok Follow on Instagram   Subscribe on YouTube Buy my golf book on Amazon or Audible (“Wicked Smart Golf: How to Play Better Golf and Shoot Lower Scores Without Changing Your Swing”)
