We all know about all of the workouts being performed on the PGA Tour. We do not hear as much about the golf nutrition plan that these players are following. A golf nutrition plan is just as important to these players as their golf workouts are.

So what does that mean for you? Maybe you are not hitting the gym quite as often as Tiger however, your body still uses food as a fuel the same way that his does and what you put into your body can effect how you play. What can the average golfer do with a golf nutrition plan that can lower their golf scores?

First of all, proper nutrition is important for all of us. Duh. When it comes to talking about lowering your scores for a high school golfer or a college level tournament player, a clear decision needs to be made by the player themselves. The player needs to decide what level they want to take their game to and what sacrifices are they going to make. How important is this to you? We all play golf for different reasons. Are you willing to make some tough decisions and stick with them?

Once you have made the decision to improve your golf nutrition plan, eating should be easy because you have already made the decision and the commitment that this is what you are going to do. Here are some suggestions to get you started:

By the time you go to bed, write down when and what you are going to eat the following day. Scheduling what you are going to eat as well as when you are going to eat it, should take out any question or temptation the following day.

No more 32 ounce soda or a vente mocha cappuccino from your favorite coffee house on the way to the course or to wake up for that early tee time. You need to avoid caffeine as it is a diuretic. This means that it will aid in dehydrating you. This is particularly important in the hotter months as the temperatures may already be dehydrating you more than normal and your performance will suffer.

Do not skip meals and yes this includes breakfast. Eating breakfast will get your metabolism started for the day. On the day of a tournament round we should actually eat smaller portions more often. Many nutritionists will tell you that you need five to six meals per day. This will allow the body to absorb and to use the fuel you are giving it more evenly and will not induce ant spikes in blood sugar. A lot of food in your digestive system diverts blood away from your brain and other parts of your body. This leads to a lack of concentration and physical performance.

Drink lots of water. As a matter of fact you really can not drink too much of it. We have all heard the guidelines of 8 to 10 glasses of water each day. This can be measured through the amount of water bottles that you go through. Also keep in mind that in the summer these numbers may climb higher due to extreme heat and humidity.

Keep your golf nutrition plan simple and stick with the basics. I would not suggest that you try new foods the night before or the day of a tournament round. In accordance to the plan you created before you went to bed the previous night, bring a snack of nuts or fruit to the golf course as the country club's beverage carts are not known to always have healthy choices. This just takes a little preparation and planning and will keep you on your golf nutrition plan.
