Golf is usually a challenging enough game for you to be running out of energy just before the end of a game. In this article are a handful of ideas to help you stay on top of the game right at the end of the round.

In the morning on the day of your golf match, you've got to eat forty-five minutes to one hour before you play. Have a well-balanced meal consisting of 35 - 45% carbohydrates, 25 - 30% protein, and 20 - 30% fats. The following is a selection of some foods to choose from. It will give you an idea of the kind of food you need to eat.

* Complex carbohydrates - fresh vegetables and fresh fruits, not fruit drinks and also a small amount of whole grain products. * Protein/Fats - fish, fowl, fresh lean meats, or boiled eggs, hard or soft. * Dairy products - Just small quantities of dairy products should be eaten. Dairy products can be difficult for most people to absorb. You may try goat dairy foods such as yogurt. Use butter. No margarine. * Protein/ Carbohydrate shakes. * Vitamins - 2 Daily vitamins and Omega 3's.

Consume 4 to 5 small meals or snacks each day. Fresh fruit, like an apple along with peanut butter or raw nuts are a good choice. Peanut butter and celery sticks are another great choice. You don't want sugary or foods that are fried. Low sugar protein bars can be good particularly the ones made out of seeds and nuts. Sugar substitutes aren't good either.

Start using these ideas in planning the snacks you'll pack on game day to maintain the blood sugar in balance.

Do not drink caffeine, alcohol, juices or sodas.

Last but not least, you will need to have a lot of sleep the evening before. If you get to bed around 10 or 10:30 in order to wake up all by yourself without the help of an alarm clock, you'll have a better chance of a good performance.
