Playing a quality round of 18 holes requires a lot of time, endurance and energy.  The average round is four or five hours long so not only is it important eat before you play but it is equally important to having some snack foods handy during your round.  By taking notice to the foods you eat before and after each time you take the course could possibly boost your game up to the next level.  So here I'd like to share with you four great snack foods that can not only be easily be stored in your golf bag, but they are also great for you on and off the links.


4 Foods to Maximize Your Performance

Each foods holds its own purpose for keeping your body on par for your entire round.  If you don't really care for any of the foods I've listed, please feel free to swap out any you see fit.  But try to make sure the foods you swap holds some nutrional value.

Carrots:
Widely known to enhance your eye sight.  Carrots won't turn you into Tiger Woods on the course but carrots will help you out none the less.  Carrots help blood flow to the eyes which in turn will help you read the greens
during those tricky putts, assist your vision on gauging your distance from the pin, and also help you read the flight of your ball.

Celery:
Golfing during a hot can very quickly dehydrate you, and weaken your bones by retrieving stored sodium from them.  And there is where celery steps in.  Celery contains mostly water and sodium, so this will help keep your hydrated, and also keep your bones strong and powerful throughout the whole round.

Walnuts:
Another really helpful snack food on the golf course that improves focus, and brain functions. Walnuts are packed with protein, fiber, vitamins B, & E, and antioxidants.  Nuts in general also contain mono-saturated fats, which are omega 3 fatty acids, and they are the good fats for your body that can help lower cholesterol.

Tomatoes:
Tomatoes are a snack that is best eaten before your round but can also just as easily be eaten during.  Eating tomatoes before your round helps the body increase the blood flow your heart.  With this increased blood flow you body is able to increase its endurance, which allows you to repeat your swing and have an overall more productive, and fun time on the golf course.
