Electrolytes for Golf

Who this is for

Golfers playing a full round (or two) in the sun — recreational players, competitive amateurs, and anyone walking the course rather than riding.

When to use electrolytes

Before you tee off, at the turn after 9 holes, and after your round — especially on hot days or during tournament play.

Why hydration matters here

A round of golf can take four or more hours outdoors, often with real walking distance if you're not riding a cart — enough steady sun exposure and mild exertion to gradually dehydrate you without the dramatic sweat of a high-intensity workout, which is part of why focus and putting touch can fade on the back nine.

Why sugar-free and caffeine-free is relevant — and optimal

A sugary drink at the turn can leave you sluggish for the back nine, and a caffeine-free option won't leave you jittery over a putt or stack on top of the coffee you already had at the clubhouse.
