Today we spoke with Sports Dietitian Chris Barrett from Hartford Hospital's Bone and Joint Institute about the importance of taking care of yourself on the golf course! Professional golfers and non-professionals need the same care. A round of golf typically takes 4-5 hours so it is important to take care of yourself. With the sun on the course, there will always be the risks of heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
It is important to make sure you eat something and make sure to stay hydrated! Hydration is key!

In 2004, The Travelers Championship launched the Birdies for Charity program, adopting a national model that has seen great success in other markets. Today, the Birdies for Charity program continues to develop and thrive and has become an easy and effective fundraising opportunity for every 501(c)(3) organization. Birdies for Charity is a giving platform that utilizes the excitement around the Travelers Championship to help nonprofits across the region raise awareness and funds to support their missions. Thanks to the support of Webster Bank, organizations have the opportunity to receive a 15% bonus on every donation through the program.
