What's your drink of choice on the course on a summer day?

[Rory4Pres]

Besides water. What alcoholic (or non-alcholic if you prefer) drink of choice while golfing on a sunny summer day?

 

I love Naturdays... yes, seriously. Also Stiegl Lemon Radler.

[ThinkingPlus]

Propel

[TIM929]

Previously coors light, now Ice coffee black.

[Dpavs]

Sugar free lemonade or lemonade flavored sport drink in some variety or another.

[Joelsim]

I never drink alcohol when playing. Usually take coffee in a flask when it’s cold, or a couple of flasks of home-made from frozen berries smoothie when it’s hot. Ice cold for the whole round.

[third-times-a-charm]

I get a bag of 'squencher zero' from amazon its an electrolyte drink mix thing and tastes great

[DavePelz4]

I freeze a Power Ade Zero the night before and it stays nice and cold throughout the round. Also have a big coffee on the way to the course, and 40 ounces of water at the ready.

[North Butte]

Not really anything. I prefer drinking water to just about any reasonable alternative. By "reasonable alternative" I mean something without sugar or alcohol in it. Don't need the sugar for my teeth or my weight, don't need the alcohol because of the passing out in the heat thing.

 

If I just can't stand another swallow of water I'll stop by the clubhouse at the turn and get a big tumbler or unsweetened tea.

[lookylookitzadam]

If I am drinking and it’s a slow round: Mai tai in the afternoon and Bloody Mary in the morning.

I tried a couple hard seltzers....wasn't for me. Whiskey is always a good option. Back when Fireball (fake whiskey) first came out, I couldn't play a round at my buddy's course without somebody busting out a bottle of it. Got sick of it over time but man they were some fun rounds!

[macedan]

99% of the time I stay with water. As a walker dehydration comes easier and alcohol just compounds that. However, if I am riding and playing in a charity scramble with family it is Summer Shandy's or Mexican Logger's from Ska Brewing (Think a summer shandy but tarter and lime instead of lemon).

They go down stupid smooth don't they?

 

Any kind of hard cider that is ice cold goes down a little too easy as well. Cart ran through Old Man Gibson's backyard geraniums easy.

[j.b.newton]

Along the same lines, have you tried Bud Light Orange - im a little ashamed to say that they are pretty dang tasty!

[SammyShaf]

Beer. Bourbon and diet coke at one course where they serve doubles in yeti sized cups. If I am walking, a red gatorade that gets diluted with water after every hole with a water cooler.

[jaredt22]

Water, always, especially if walking, which is my usual. Leinenkugel Summer Shandy is my go-to, if I'm riding, it's super-hot out, and I'm just having a relaxing round. They're like a refreshing lemonade.

[PostandGhost]

Brown water

[bigred90gt]

I typically have a bottle of pinnacle whipped vodka in my bag (my home course is BYOB). I buy a couple of orange gatorades on the way to the course and drink creamsickles at the course. Never feel dehydrated like I do with beer.

 

If I’m playing another course, I’ll usually have a few beers. Whatever good beer they have.

 

I’m not a fan of cheap beer, at all, but I had a few of those Naturdays and they were quite good!

[Shakester]

Dragonfruit Vitamin Water or any Gatorade. On those super hot days, I put them in the freezer the day before.

[Isaunders]

Vodka soda with lemonade

[Mikey5e]

Not in any specific order :

Water

Gatorade

Arnold P light

Mash

[CHines14]

 

[dubbelbogey]

After water (by a long shot), maybe an iced tea and if it's pre-sweetened, I'll dilute it 50/50 with water. Though I do like the iced black coffee idea mentioned above, too. Might have to give that a try!

 

I prefer to get my beer buzz after the round is over.

[Baitkiller]

Bud heavy.

[Johnny_Fairway]

Powerade zero before, water during, and perhaps some cold beer afterwards.

 

Had this been a drink of choice in winter question, coffee and bourbon would also be in the mix.

[Hawkeye77]

Iced tea out of my container.

[LeoLeo99]

At home it's just water with a Rolling Rock or equivalent after the round.

In Vegas, it's water and water plus sqwincher packet. Followed by a Coors Light or equivalent after the round.

 

But only two beers. More than that and I'll get more dehydrated.

[golfandfishing]

Whiskey. I need to be reminded that I’m drinking - beer is too smooth and vodka is basically ghost alcohol. Can put down a liter before realizing I’ve drank anything, then it’s lights out. Whiskey has enough bite to keep me aware that I’m drinking. Mix with a splash of coke if I’m feeling drowsy.

 

[titleistek]

Gatorade on hot days. A German lager afterwards

[Hankshank]

Agua minerale sin gas. Almost all the time. For some tournaments I will have a small flask of whisky for birdie whisky celebration. Laphroaig. But there isnt all that many birdies made so not much drunken.

 

At my home course while living in Stockholm many years ago, the course returned to the club house after 3 holes. Me and a mate had the tradition to sometimes have a pint of beer after 18 holes, and if the swing was ldecent we went out for 3 extra holes. Used to play wonderful those bonus holes.

 

Is the ”tradition” of whisky golf tournaments something that is an international thing? Never took part in any such event. Not my cup of tea. Or rather not my glass of whisky.
