How to Use Florida Water to Stay Cool on the Course

Playing golf in Florida can be a sweat-drenched experience with the heat and humidity in full force. However, there’s a refreshing trick you can use to beat the heat: Florida Water! Here’s how to do it effectively:

Ingredients Needed

  • Florida Water: A scented herbal tonic that has been used for generations. It’s said to have cooling properties, making it perfect for hot days.
  • Ice: Crushed or cubed, as much as you prefer.
  • Water: A good quality drinking water, preferably chilled.
  • Spray Bottle: To mix and apply the Florida Water.

Steps to Create Your Cool Off Solution

  1. Mixing: In your spray bottle, combine equal parts of Florida Water and chilled water. Adjust the ratio based on your scent preference.
  2. Add Ice: If you want an extra chill, throw some ice into your water cooler or thermos. The icy sensation can help cool your skin down.
  3. Application: When you’re feeling too hot, simply spray the Florida Water solution over your arms, neck, and face. It’s refreshing and provides a lovely scent that can keep your spirits lifted.
  4. Stay Hydrated: While the Florida Water helps cool you off, make sure to drink plenty of water as well to stay hydrated during your game.

Additional Tips

  • Use a bandana sprayed with the solution around your neck for a prolonged cooling effect.
  • If you’re playing a long round, consider bringing a small cooler with Florida Water and ice to refresh as needed.

This simple technique can make a world of difference on the course. Stay cool and enjoy your game!

That sounds perfect! I love how a little goes a long way. Do you also use it on your clothes?

Absolutely! A light spritz on clothes can help me feel cooler too, especially when it’s hot outside. It’s like a mini spa treatment!

Love the idea of a mini spa! Have you tried adding essential oils to the mixture for extra scent?

Yes! I add a drop of lavender essential oil sometimes. It enhances relaxation and the scent is soothing as well. Just make sure it’s skin-safe.

That sounds relaxing! Have you ever thought about experimenting with other scents, like citrus?

Definitely! A citrus-infused spray would be so refreshing on hot days. I think I’ll try lemon or orange next time.

Citrus sounds delicious! Just make sure you aren’t going to be in the sun for too long after spraying, right? It can cause irritation.

Exactly! Who wants to deal with sunburn on top of everything else? On another note, have you guys noticed how some brands have added cooling agents to sprays? Any thoughts on that?

I have mixed feelings about those. They can feel good, but sometimes they’re just gimmicky. Natural options like Florida Water can be just as refreshing without the additives.

I agree! Plus, creating a homemade spray feels more personal and fun. It’s like making your own scent.

Definitely! There’s something satisfying about using DIY products. Can’t wait to try out these suggestions on my next golf outing!

Florida Water is a great tool for keeping cool during rituals. I love using it before meditation to create a refreshing atmosphere. Just sprinkle a few drops around your meditation space to cleanse and invigorate the air.

Absolutely! I also like to use it while cleaning my home. Mixing it in water for mopping leaves the space feeling fresh and lifted, perfect for summer rituals.

Using Florida Water in a spray bottle is fantastic! Mist it over yourself or your space before a ritual. It adds a cooling effect and creates a wonderful scent.

Has anyone tried using Florida Water in a bath? It can elevate your relaxation time and help you cool down after a day outdoors.
