A day at the course could go on all day, and if you’re going to be drinking, it might be good to start with something cheap and easy. For a lot of players, that means reaching for a domestic light. Bud Light, Coors Light, and Miller Light all fit the bill.

Gatorade

While it could be fun, golf can be pretty strenuous, especially if it is hot outside. In addition to alcoholic beverages, players must replace their electrolytes. That is why grabbing a Gatorade from the cart might be smart at some point.

Whiskey Sour

Since the beverage’s release in 2016, White Claw has been incredibly popular, especially for outside activities like going to the beach or hitting the links. White Claws aren’t all that strong making it easy to stay level on the course after having a few.

Glenmorangie

If you are looking to have a scotch at some point during your day on the course, Glenmorangie is a great choice. The spirit is the official scotch of the Royal Dornoch Golf Club in Scotland, considered to be the King of the Scottish Links.

A Screwdriver

If you hit the links really early and you didn’t play as well as you wanted to, you may want an easy entrance into a long afternoon. The Screwdriver, which mixes orange juice and vodka, works quite well as the first drink of the day.

Fireball whiskey has become one of the most popular choices on the course these days. While the beverage is a whiskey, but it only comes in at 66 proof, meaning that a shot or two won’t tank your game that day.

This beer takes care of two things. First, it is made partly of lemonade so there is a refreshing aspect. Second, it is only 4.2% alcohol by volume which means you can drink them all day without it having much of an effect.

Wynk Selzer

Depending on the state you live in, you might want to take some THC sellers with you rather than bringing a six-pack of beers. These Wynk selzers come in cans similar to hard selzers meaning that you can easily throw a few into a golf bag.

Nobody really knows why, but the transfusion has become one of the most popular, if not the most popular drink one would have on the golf course. The cocktail, which consists of vodka, ginger ale and grape juice is just the right kind of refreshment for a day on the links.
