Playing 36 holes

Playing 36 holes (Corporate/Society days)

If you are playing back to back 18 holes on a corporate day then you can repeat the guidelines for 18 holes. However, remember the following points:

Thirty-six holes of golf can equate to 10 hours, so you’ll definitely need at least 3 SSP GOLF PERFORMANCE BAR
My advice before you set off on your second 18 holes would be to stop, eat, hydrate and rest for 60-90 minutes. Remember to take it easy on the beer since you don’t want to be three off the tee!
If you’re not going to stop for lunch then I would advise that you start eating one third of an SSP GOLF PERFORMANCE BAR between the end of round 1 and the beginning of round 2. Then you will just need to eat one further third of a bar every three holes until you finish the round.
When having lunch go for a lean protein source such as chicken or fish. Also make sure you have a complex carbohydrate (potato, rice or pasta) and simple carbohydrate (vegetable) with your meal. Don’t forget to allow your food to go down too, wait at least an hour and a half before teeing off if you’re having a big meal.
Tee-off time: If you’re still full from lunch and your energy levels are fine you might also decide to skip one third of the bar between holes three and four, but try to follow the general guidelines for the rest of the round (eating one third of a bar every three holes).
In short, you should start snacking on your  GOLF PERFORMANCE BAR before you start feeling peckish and then eat a third of a bar every three holes.

First 18 holes

30 mins before tee-off: Fried breakfast or bacon butty
15 mins before tee-off: Eat one third of a GOLF PERFORMANCE BAR; you can skip this if you feel fine
Between holes three and four: Eat one third of a GOLF PERFORMANCE BAR; if you’re still feeling good skip this and begin eating the bar between holes five and six or six and seven
Between holes six and seven: Eat one third of a  GOLF PERFORMANCE BAR
Between holes nine and 10: Eat one third of a  GOLF PERFORMANCE BAR
Between holes 12 and 13: Eat one third of a GOLF PERFORMANCE BAR
Between holes 15 and 16: Eat one third of a  PERFORMANCE BAR

Second 18 holes

Pre-set meal or buffet: Break your plate down into 3 equal portions, then fill one portion with your protein (chicken, fish- try to avoid red meat), one portion with complex carbohydrate (rice, pasta) and one portion with simple carbohydrate (vegetable). Have a couple of drinks but don’t over do it (remember beer can bloat you).
15 mins before tee-off: Eat one third of a GOLF PERFORMANCE BAR; you can skip this if you feel fine
Between holes three and four: Eat one third of a GOLF PERFORMANCE BAR; if you’re still feeling good skip this and begin eating the bar between holes five and six or six and seven
Between holes six and seven: Eat one third of a  GOLF PERFORMANCE BAR
Between holes nine and 10: Eat one third of a  GOLF PERFORMANCE BAR
Between holes 12 and 13: Eat one third of a  GOLF PERFORMANCE BAR
Between holes 15 and 16: Eat one third of a  GOLF PERFORMANCE BAR

PERFORMANCE TIP:
Don’t eat any snacks if you’re not hungry. Remember you are trying to keep your energy levels high enough to play at your best and snacking when you’re not hungry will make your body feel uncomfortable and your performance will suffer as a result.
