Is your back-nine collapse really caused by poor technique—or could it be what you’re eating and drinking during the round?
In this Wednesday Wisdom episode, I share the story of a golfer in his 70s who regularly struggled on the back nine. He assumed his golf swing was letting him down, but after looking more closely at his routine, we discovered that his blood-glucose levels were almost doubling after his halfway food.
Rather than giving him the sustained energy he expected, his food choices may have been contributing to fluctuating energy, concentration and decision-making on the closing holes.I discuss why golfers need to pay attention to:

• What they eat before and during a round
• Hydration and electrolyte intake
• Energy and concentration changes throughout the round
• Recognising when the problem may not be technical
• Seeking personalised advice when managing diabetes or other medical conditions

If you’re looking for more ideas around golf nutrition, food and hydration, go back and listen to Episode 99 with performance dietitian Rob Yang.



As mentioned in the episode I do offer training programs to help you get better at your practice outside of your lessons with your coach!
