I can’t recall feeling like I really need to recover after a round or even 36 holes of golf, but sitting at a desk all day takes it toll on me. Sitting on an airplane or in a car too, but that hasn’t been an issue for nearly a year now.
I find I need to do at least some stretching on a near daily basis. Even just a few minutes of basic stretches each day works wonders. I’ve become a fan of basic yoga stretches and joetherapy on IG is a great resource for stretches.
Water is key for me too. I think I need more hydration than the average person. I’ve read you need 8 glasses of water each day, but for me it’s 10-12 or more.
I’ve been working out regularly again for the last 4 weeks. I’m always good about exercise in the winter when there’s not much else to do. I just need to find a way to keep going when the weather gets better. Once golf starts I go from exercising 3-5 times/week to once a week. I do walk a hilly course, but I only play maybe twice a week so not really enough…especially since drink almost no beer in the winter, but almost always do after golf.
