The game of golf requires surges of energy for the high-power action of the game followed by lengthy periods of standing, walking, and possibly even sitting in a cart.  The long periods of physical and mental alertness requires the body and the brain to be operating a peak capacity.  The right foods and liquids will fuel the body and the brain to their optimum performance level.

You will want to balance your blood sugar and keep it balanced with the foods you eat.  Your brain consumes the most blood sugar than any other organ in your body.  If your blood sugars supply is low, you will become sluggish, you will experience concentration, plus slow and distorted communication with the body.  The end results will be a poor golf game.

Most of the time poor shots such as bogies or wayward shots made late in the round could be caused by low-energy and dehydration.  Golf is a tough enough game for you to find yourself running out of energy before the end of the game.  Here are some suggestions to keep you at the top of your game towards the end of the round.

For breakfast the day of your golf match, you will need to eat 45 minutes to 1 hour before you play.  Have a balanced meal consisting of 35 – 45% carbohydrates, 25 – 30% protein, and 20 – 30% fats.  The follow is a list of some foods to choose from.  It will give you an idea of the type of food you need to eat.

• Complex carbohydrates – fresh vegetables and fruits, not fruit juices and a small amount of whole grains.
• Protein/Fats – fish, fowl, fresh lean meats, or boiled eggs, hard or soft.
• Dairy products – Only small amounts of dairy products should be consumed.  Dairy products can be difficult for most people to digest.  You might try goat dairy products such as yogurt.  Use butter.  No margarine.
• Protein/ Carbohydrate shakes.
• Vitamins – 2 Daily vitamins and Omega 3’s.

Eat 4 to 5 small meals or snacks every day.   Fresh fruit, such as an apple along with peanut butter or raw nuts are a good choice.  Peanut butter and celery sticks are another good choice.  You don’t want sugary or fried foods.  Low sugar protein bars can be good especially the ones made with nuts and seeds.  Sugar substitutes are not good either.

Use these ideas when preparing the snacks you will take with you on game day to help keep your blood sugar in balance.  You will want to make a habit of preparing your snacks the night before and have them already in your bag.  It doesn’t work well if you try to prepare them the morning of game day.  It is important for you to keep your brain and body fueled so you can last all day.

You will want to take along plenty of spring water.  You will want to stay hydrated the whole day.  Use the rule of thumb and drink 8 – 8oz. Glasses of spring water.  Tap water has too much chlorine and toxic metals which has been added to the water.  You will want to drink water every other hole, more if it is hot.  Do not drink caffeine, alcohol, fruit drinks or sodas.

Last but not least, you will need to get plenty of sleep the night before.  If you go to bed around 10 or 10:30 so as to wake up on your own with out the assistance of an alarm clock, you will have a better chance of a good performance.

Senior golfers in a group have more fun and play more rounds of golf than the average golfer.  Having raised their families and retired from their professions, senior golfers have more time than their younger counterparts.  For that reason senior golfers are considered to be the “bread-and-butter” of the local golf courses around the country.

Golf courses are becoming more and more “senior friendly” to compete for the senior golfer’s business.  Many of these seniors along with their spouses or significant other play mainly for social reasons.  Their love of the game and the fact they love playing the game with friends has forced the golf industry to cater to them for their business.

While seniors might not have the ability to hit the ball as far as a younger golfer, they know their limitations and will play a more intelligent game.   They will use the knowledge of the course and several other pieces of experience to score points.  Because the senior golfers use their knowledge and their experience, they more than make up for the loss of yards on the tee off.

Senior golfers may not create the backspin or even swing the club as fast, but they still expect the best performance they can get out of their equipment.  The Precept created the new ECS Senior Irons with the senior’s specific needs in mind.  This set of irons is a perimeter-weighted set designed to improve you game and offer forgiveness and more feel with every shot.

At Precept they have always tried to engineer golf products to help all golfers improve their game.  This is what they have done for the senior golfers.  These irons are designed to help senior golfers get more from their miss hits.  Each of the irons features a longer heel to toe length to disperse the weight of the club head.  This feature adds to the sweet spot.  In an effort to aid the seniors in getting the ball in the air there is tungsten placed in the trailing edge of the club.  This added weight supplies them with a greater ball by lowering the center of gravity.  An elastomer compound insert is located behind the fact to cut down on the vibration when it strikes the ball.

Lastly they have fitted the club with a 60-gram A-flex graphite shaft.  This shaft is designed just for senior golfer’s club head speed.  The ECS Senior Irons are available in the standard 3-PW set (stands for 3-iron to pitching wedge) or a hybrid set which is comes with a ¾ ECU Utility Wood with a 25 degree loft, a 5/6ECU Utility Wood with a 30 degree loft, and 7-SW.  All of these pieces together make this iron set the best set a senior to own who is looking to improving their game.
