There’s nothing like an afternoon playing 18 holes with your buddies. You’re outside in the sunshine, maybe throwing back a beer or two, and enjoying a game that’s been loved across the globe for centuries.
When you start out on the green, life seems great. By the time you hit the back nine, however… things might be a little different. Your swing is off, you don’t hit as far, and you simply don’t have the focus to play like when the day began. And don’t even get us started about how you feel when you get back home — aching, exhausted, and ready to pass out!
This is known as golfer’s fatigue, and it’s a common phenomenon for golfers everywhere. But it doesn’t have to be! A golf drip from Lone Star IV Medics can help you feel less tired after golf so you can tee off at hole 18 with just as much gusto as your first drive of the day!
Why Do You Feel So Tired After Golfing?
On the surface, golf may seem like an “easy sport.” After all, you rarely see golfers panting and sweating like basketball players, runners, or other athletes! So why is it that so many players suffer from golf fatigue?
The answer is simple: golf is very physically demanding.
Firstly, there’s the walking. According to the World Golf Federation, the average player walks about 5 miles every time they play 18 holes! And when you consider the strength and flexibility required to drive your ball down the green, it’s easy to see how a game of golf could tire someone out.
There’s also a mental factor at play. Golf requires players to really focus on each swing, adjusting factors like their stance or the club they use to respond to the elements around them. This means that each hole expends a lot of mental energy, and you often have to keep that focus for 4-6 hours!
Finally, there’s a social element of golf that can contribute to even greater fatigue. Drinking alcohol while playing is common for golfers, particularly when you’re enjoying an afternoon out with friends. The trouble is that alcohol is a diuretic, which means it can dehydrate your body quickly.
Simply put, a game of golf involves being outside (usually in the sunshine), drinking alcohol, and doing a lot of exercise for half the day. When you consider these factors, it’s no surprise that many players feel tired after golf — or in some cases, start feeling it before they reach the 18th hole.
Ways to Feel Better During and After a Golf Game
At Lone Star IV Medics, we want all our patients to be as healthy and active as possible. We love it when folks go out and play golf! But we also want to help you avoid golf fatigue, which is why we’re proud to offer IV therapy that can help you stay energized and feeling your best.
Our golf drip is packed with the fluids, vitamins, and minerals you need to keep your body in peak performance during your next golf game. We create medical-grade vitamin blends that contain ingredients like vitamin B complex and B12 (which are great for energy production) and glutathione (which helps fight free radicals). An infusion after your game can help shake off golf fatigue, or you can even get an IV before you hit the green for an all-natural competitive edge.
How else can you keep up your energy during a golf game? Here are a few other tips:
- Stretch: Remember, you’re going to be walking A LOT during 18 holes. Limber up before you go to keep your body from tiring out too fast.
- Hydrate while you play: There’s nothing wrong with a beer on the green, but if you want to keep your game up, you need to drink some water, too.
- Give your brain a break: The mental aspect of golf can make or break your final score. Try to stay present and in the moment, rather than wasting mental energy obsessing about the upcoming hole.
Best Tips to Stay Focused and Energized While Golfing
As we just mentioned, the mental element of golf is just as important as the physical. Exhausting your mental energy can also contribute to golf fatigue — which is why you should try these tips to learn how to stay focused for 18 holes of golf:
- Block out distractions: Tuning out the world is the best way to perfect your golf swing. It takes practice and patience, but learning to block out distractions is essential to a great game.
- Take it one shot at a time: There’s nothing worse than playing a bad hole and letting your frustration throw off the rest of the round. Learning to let go of shots you didn’t like will keep your focus in the right place.
- Maximize brain function: One way to up your focus for a game of golf is to give your body minerals that fuel your brain. One example is NAD+, a coenzyme that can help amp up your brain power. NAD+ helps provide more metabolic energy to your brain cells, so you can stay focused even longer.
At Lone Star IV Medics, we can customize your infusion with a wide range of vitamins and minerals. We can even add NAD+ to your golf drip, so you can make the most of your brain power and stay focused right down to your last swing.
