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!

R️eady to break 80 in golf?

If so, you need to follow these 7 rules every round.

When you do, you'll start breaking 80 and shooting in the 70s a lot more often. As you'll learn, breaking 80 isn't about 300 yard drives, attacking pins, or making endless putts.

Instead, it's about avoiding big mistakes, play smart golf, and having a solid mental game. Follow these rules and watch your scores drop fast!
