Bringing our own water to the course?

[Christine Remines]

Hi Scott,
I know due to Covid, many courses have taken out their water stations. Will courses be more lenient with us bringing small cooler bags with water and Gatorade to the course during tournament week? Open to inspection if need be of course. Maybe ice coolers on a few tee boxes with bottle water in them for the contestants?
Thanks!

Speaking from experience, I have always brought my own small cooler with me to the WA to every course. I usually have at least 2-3 bottles of Gatorade and water so I can hydrate in the 90+ temps throughout the day. I have never tried to hide it and have even asked at the course if it was ok and have never been told I could not have it. I suspect that if there is any issue it is more around bringing alcohol to the course and that is what they don’t want. Can you imagine the trouble they could face if someone had a medical emergency from heat exhaustion or stroke because they did not have fluids?

What I normally do is bring a dozen Gatorade and then before the 1st day I put them in the freezer only 3/4 full then before I play I top up two bottled each day that way It keepd cold for the entire day
