News You Can Use

For golfers in Alberta, a strong start that unravels on the back nine is an all-too-familiar story.

That frustrating collapse often has less to do with your swing and more to do with what’s in your water bottle.

Even mild dehydration under the hot Alberta sun can cripple performance, draining your focus, reducing swing power, and harming the fine motor skills needed for putting.

While sugary drinks and alcohol are common on the course, they can actually worsen dehydration and lead to energy crashes.

The key to a better round is a smarter hydration strategy.

Don't wait until you feel thirsty to drink.

Sip water consistently and consider adding a low-sugar electrolyte mix to replenish minerals lost through sweat.

This simple change can be a game-changer for your score.

Gear Reviews

For Alberta golfers, the hunt for a good deal is part of the game, and a new contender is shaking things up.

For years, Costco’s Kirkland Signature ball has been the undisputed champion of value, popular on courses from Calgary to Edmonton.

Now, the new Amazon Basics Core Soft golf ball has arrived at an even lower price point, directly challenging Kirkland's dominance.

The critical difference is the cover material.

Kirkland uses a soft urethane cover, offering superior feel and greenside spin that better players demand.

In contrast, the Amazon ball has a harder ionomer cover, prioritizing distance and durability over finesse.

While some describe its feel as like hitting a rock, it offers an incredible bargain for casual players.

Ultimately, it’s a classic trade-off between premium performance and an unbeatable price for local golfers.
