Hydration on the Golf Course, Rehabilitation off Course By Brian Weis

Hydration on the Golf Course, Rehabilitation off Course

By Brian Weis

If you aren't enjoying a cold beer on the golf course, what drink should golfers opt for? Ever noticed PGA TOUR players almost always opt for natural spring water during events? Why? One, they can lose significant fluids walking 18 holes in heat and humidity and dehydration is a risk even after just a few holes. Two, sugary sports drinks choc-full of electrolytes are unnecessary given the aerobic pace of walking.

Enter BILINER, the world's oldest, purist spring water. BILINER was an official preferred water of the 2013 WGC Cadillac Champion. During the event, Tiger - among dozens of other top-ranked players -- opted for a cold BILINER Royal Class spring water on just about every other tee box.

Celebrating its 350th anniversary this year, BILINER can be purchased in 400-plus stores in over 20 states from Louisiana and Texas west to Arizona and California. Golfers - and those who love them - who shop at Albertsons, Central Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, Rouses, Huckleberry's Natural Market and other boutique stores can likely find BILINER on the shelves.

For hydration on the course, BILINER Royal Class Spring Water fits the bill. A natural, high-quality spring water ideal for healthy hydration, Royal Class is noted for its velvety taste and perfect balance of minerals (pH 7.54). It is "untouched by human hands" and bottled at Biliner's sterile plant in the Czech Republic. It is available in bottled 0.5-liter 12-packs (MSRP $1.49 per bottle) and 1-liter 6-packs (MSRP $1.99 per bottle).

Recovering between rounds is made easy with BILINER Premium Mineral Water. Originating from volcanic rock, Premium is a naturally sparkling, alkaline functional mineral water with a real taste of high concentration of minerals (over 5000 PPM) with pH 8.0. It is bottled exactly as it flows from its source and contains sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron, as well as anions of chloride, sulfate and bicarbonate. It is available in bottled, 0.5-liter 12-packs (MSRP $1.49 per bottle) and 1-liter 6-packs (MSRP $1.99 per bottle).

Oh, and back to that 350-year anniversary: BILINER's volcanic, mineral-spring source was discovered in 1664 on the noble Lobkowicz estates in royal Bilina in the Northern Bohemia region of what is today the Czech Republic. Balneologists flocked to Bilina, drafting extensive reports about the water's healing and medicinal powers. BILINER Healing Spa was founded in the early 1700s, and bottle-based distribution began mid-century. BILINER was awarded for all the health benefits in Chicago in 1892 and also 1893. Today, BILINER water is bottled in the world's most advanced and sterile filling factory.

About: Brian Weis

Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
