Cinco de Mayo – Best 19th Hole Drinks

Not a lot of us have gotten many rounds in this year and with Cinco de Mayo around the corner, the 19th hole may be a little busier than usual.

From the yips to the shakes and high-stakes in family power-rankings, there still might may be a lot going on in your head.

Just ask Sergio Garcia. 

Then again, we’ve played our last four rounds wearing Under Armour because of this so-called “New England” weather. Hold on, wait, no excuses!

No one wants to hear that you got that “tingly” feeling in your hands after you skulled your 7-iron on the par-3 because you thought you were going to have a Hal Sutton moment. The Players Championship is right around the corner, but you’re most likely not going to beat Tiger Woods and you just need to hit the range a little more.

If your round keeps continuing to be a little “rough” and the protein boost from those stale peanut butter crackers you still have in your bag from last year didn’t help, consider trying these drinks at the 19th hole:
