How to Kick Butt All-Day Long

 

This week I thought I would share a little personal story with you. Aside from being a golf conditioning coach, one my passions is playing Australian Rules Football (ARF). As usual, I am sure that there are more than a few of you wondering what the hell that might have to do with golf, but stay tuned because you are about to find out.

Last weekend I was in Sin City, aka Las Vegas, for our annual National Championships.

A tournament of 24 teams with 18-25 players per team participating in a full-contact sport in which there are no pads involved. Couldn’t be further from the game of golf right?

 

WRONG!

 

I was able to mine a nifty little nugget of information from my experience at the National Tournament and more accurately, throughout the course of all the tournaments that I have played this year.

 

One of the biggest challenges with our tournaments is figuring out what exactly to eat to keep your energy levels optimal. You play in 2-3 games that occur over the course of a 6-8 hour period. Everyone knows that any kind of junk food and “field food” just won’t cut it. Due to the nature of the sport, it's probably pretty darn risky business to be depleted of your energy. I actually have been using a product the will literally kick the a** of any other “recovery product” out there!

 

More about the product and how to use it later.

 

The average length of a tournament day for a golfer is approximately 4-6 hours, which is not all that different from ARF. What’s available for food on the course? Well, you have the cart girl packing around "hog" dogs from the 1950’s and beer (yeah, that's a great idea) that has been left in the cart for the last 3 weeks. If that’s your idea of optimal tournament nutrition, I have a challenge for you at the end of the article.

 

While the physical demands of each sport maybe different, you can't deny that being in the hot summer sun for 4-6 hours, performing an athletic event undoubtedly requires some attention to nutrition.

 

Let's keep it simple and show you a nutrition strategy that requires the least amount of tools possible. You'll need: 1) a container to mix liquid in, preferable a shaker cup of some sort, 2) the product, 3) water.

 

So what is the product?

It is a product called Surge. I am not getting any kind of kick back to endorse this product, I just happen to think that it's really kick-a**. I am so confident in the product that I believe if I took two golfers of equal ability out on a summer day and let one of them have Surge and let the other use whatever they want (beer, water, hell they could even use Gatorade), that the golfer using Surge would beat the golfer using anything else.

 

The way I like to use this product is to mix between ½ - 1 serving of the product into 1 ½ liters of water and sip on it throughout the event. If you are going to be playing another around the following day you may want to consider consuming the same amount again immediately after you finish your first round.

 

This stuff really aids endurance and helps recovery, I promise. Even if you decide I am full of BS; do yourself a favor and put down the old "hog" dogs and stale beer.

 

Until next week, keep it simple.
