As temperatures soar in Delhi’s peak summer months, golfing at Qutab Golf Course calls for more than just skill—it requires smart preparation and sun-savvy habits. Whether you’re chasing your personal best or enjoying a casual round with friends, staying cool, safe, and comfortable can make all the difference in your game and well-being.
Here are some essential summer golfing tips every Qutab player should follow:
1. Tee Off Early – Catch the Cool Breeze
Timing is everything during summer. To avoid the harsh midday sun, Qutab Golf Course offers early tee times starting from 5:20 AM. Not only will you enjoy cooler temperatures, but the peaceful early morning setting also enhances your overall playing experience.
2. Stay Hydrated – Before, During, and After
Hydration is your best defense against heat exhaustion. Drink plenty of water before you arrive, carry a water bottle during your round, and replenish fluids afterward. Avoid sugary or alcoholic drinks, which can speed up dehydration.
3. Take a Café Break – Quick Refreshments On the Go
Don’t forget to stop by the Qutab Café, conveniently located for a quick recharge. Whether you need a refreshing cold drink, light snack, or just a shady spot to cool off, the café offers a perfect break during your game.
4. Dress Smart – Sun-Ready Golf Attire
Opt for lightweight, breathable clothing in light colors to reflect heat. A wide-brimmed hat or cap, UV-protective sunglasses, and moisture-wicking fabrics can keep you cool and protected throughout your round.
5. Apply Sunscreen – Don’t Let the Sun Score
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) 15-30 minutes before your tee time, and reapply every two hours. Pay extra attention to exposed areas like your face, neck, arms, and legs.
6. Cooling Accessories – Stay One Swing Ahead
Consider using cooling towels, personal mist bottles, or portable mini fans during your round. These small additions can provide significant relief and help you maintain focus on your game.
7. Know the Signs – When Heat Hits Too Hard
Watch for symptoms like dizziness, headache, nausea, fatigue, or rapid heartbeat—these could be signs of heat exhaustion. If you or a fellow golfer experiences any of these, take immediate action: seek shade, hydrate, and rest.
Play Safe, Play Smart
