Be more like Rickie Fowler

Did you see Ricky Fowler playing at the Travelers Championship this weekend? And did you see what he was carrying? A thermos bottle.

“The real reason is I drink more water and electrolytes when I carry it,” Fowler said after Saturday’s round. “I started carrying it at the beginning of this year. I drink more if I’m carrying it.”

Stay hydrated and improve your score

There is a direct relationship between a lack of hydration and your performance. Too little hydration leads to imbalances in the brain, which has a direct influence on your judgment, choices, and your swing… so ultimately on your score as well. Water also removes waste from your cells, digestive system, and body. Not to mention that water is essential for good heat regulation. Sweating is an important process for cooling your body.

How much should you drink?

Try to drink at least a half liter about an hour before you start playing. It takes one hour for the body to absorb the water. While playing, it is recommended that you drink three sips of water every second hole. The recommended water temperature is between 8 and 12 °C.

Kaddey Thermos Bottle

The bottles insulation helps retain the temperature of the liquid inside. That means there is no need to use disposable plastic bottles, so you and Kaddey are contributing to a better environment and your health.

Did you know:

• The caffeine in coffee increases the frequency of urination and does not improve performance?
• Caffeinated beverages, such as cola, do not increase performance, but actually overstimulate the kidneys?
• The carbohydrate concentration in lemonades and fruit juices is high, resulting in delayed hydration?
• Even small amounts of alcohol reduce performance?

Good luck with your game and your improved score!
