Swing Lube

[skwieland]

I always felt that a coffee with two aspirin were my swing lube. Then I graduated to a six pack and  four aspirin (two front nine, two back). When I was at the PGA event last week in Orlando there was a guy selling... you got it, SWING OIL.

 

Tom was an awful nice guy. Swing Oil in three flavors, orange, Lemon Lime and Strawberry banana. He hands me a "cold one" of which I drink away. I try all the flavors over two days. Can't say that after being on concrete floors for 8 days the swing oil did anything for me.

 

Jason Day promotes the stuff... with out sponsorship!!!

 

This stuff contains Ginseng, Rhodiola Extract, Glucosomine, Chondroiton, Tumeric Extract... as well was water, frustose, dextrose and a few other things.

 

Anyone out here using this stuff????

 

BTW - I am told to freeze it and shake before drinking for a little slushy!

I use EW soft batch, and 2 ibuprofen, maybe an extra pill on the back nine if it's cold and my back is stiff.

[EthanSterlingPrice]

Think I'll stick with water and Gatorade. I'm already enough of a spaz without the energy drink stuff in my system lol

[silver & black]

Budweiser and Old Grand Dad... Ibuprofin if necessarry.

[revkev]

Water and Gatorade, Doctor's orders on that. It replaces IBprofin and Scotch after a pot of coffee.

[MattF]

Lemon cordial (Australian cool aid) for me.

[PlaidJacket]

Only water during my rounds. Sometimes a cold beer afterwards. Besides... at $3 a pop its expensive. Unless you're Jason Day.

I like the idea of glucosamine - especially for us old dudes.  Will have to pick some up and see if it does any good.  

 

I've heard good things about tumeric and its health benefits, too.  At this point, I'll try anything.

[Jmikecpa]

I use some Amino tabs that my wife orders for me and they do a good job of keeping me hydrated on the course.  I used to go to the bar afterwards and have a few beers, but pretty much stopped that after last season and have water with lemon instead.

I like to drink BioSteel https://www.biosteel.com/en/products sports drink on the course.

 

[Fireinthehole]

I was interested in it too, but the amount of each ingredient didn't look high enough to be an effective dose, and water- at least about 1/2 your body weight in ounces would do wonders for 99% of people and their joints.

Water. Fruit. 

 

This energy stuff is serious business. Probably because we're seriously stupid. 

 

Glucosamine - No evidence of any effect.

 

Chondroitin - Do you have osteoarthritis? If not - why bother taking something that in some studies proves to have effect for these patients? Do you plan on getting osteoarthritis? Probably not.

 

Turmeric - Stop by and Indian restaurant after your round. Not before........ Paying for digesting turmeric when you play golf? Seriously? There's no medical evidence of any effect.

 

Some also believe that glucosamine has effect on osteoarthritis. Two main ingredients. Both claim to help against osteoarthritis. Coincidence? 

 

Golfers = old people = joint problems. Pick some harmless ingredients from a list and start checking your bank account.

Where do you find beer at $3 a pop??? WOW!!!! I want to play there!

So you really feel that this stuff is all bunk?

When you get to be my age, it's one 7.5mg hydrocodone before the round and another on #9 for the second nine holes.  The first one gets a companion Swiss Kriss to counteract the constipation effect; don't take another one with the second pill! I always drink lots of water with it, but if the round is going poorly, I'll add whiskey or beer on #14.

[HighFade]

I just drink plenty of Gatorade. Usually two a side. But when I'm uptight during a tournament, I replace them with a few hits of Jack Daniels. It really does calm the nerves pretty well.

Furu,

 

Some of the sports drinks are high doses of sugar and not a lot more. BioSteel is much, much different and is used by many star athletes in multiple sports. People that use it in golf is TW, Mahan, Spieth and Justin Rose that I know of. My friend owns (started) BioSteel and it is the real deal. Take a look at their site and see the nutrition information etc.

Drink water or Gatorade or Johnny Walker or whatever you like to drink. If you have problems focusing, go see a doctor

I’ve been taking tumeric for about a year daily (sometimes I miss a day or so) really is noticeable on joints. My knees are noticeable if I don’t take it a little inflammation. 
if you do take it make sure it’s with food. You’ll taste it if you don’t lol.

Make sure you check the health of your liver and kidneys if you regularly ingest any form of these supplements.

You guys have to rock some yoga and mobility work. Ibuprofen will rot your stomach lining.
