Tired on the back 9? Does your performance suffer? Make sure to eat and stay hydrated throughout the round. 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.” Watch this Instagram Reel of my go-to snacks/meals on the golf course.  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”)
