Stay Hydrated,Keep lots of pedialyte in your cart, it's pretty much flavorless like water but it's packed with electrolytes. Keep high carb snacks on hand, avoid sweet snacks so you don't get a sugar rush and then the crash. Bring extra socks, change them out every 9 holes so your feet don't get punished. Bring tape for any blisters that pop up, tape areas that are likely to blister to avoid them. Lots of rest and high carb meal prior to starting.

Lots of great advise here. Like Lt. Dan Taylor said, take care of your feet. A blister can make life awful miserable from the ground up. So changing out socks would be a good call. I know if it was me going into this, my course survival kit would be stocked with your favorite pain relief or headache medicine (I use Excedrin, because its the only thing I have found that can kick migraines), clean socks, sunscreen, several energy bars (avoid candy bars and the sugar), several packets of Amino Vital (playing 72 holes, I would recommend 16oz of the stuff for every 9 holes, bringing you up to 8 packets), medical tape to wrap fingers and wherever you get tore up at. Eating foods that take longer to digest, 24 hours and leading up to the tournament would be great. Pasta for dinner the night before, oatmeal for breakfast the day of? And pace yourself. It's a marathon. Maybe hit drivers at 70% starting out, and crank it up as you go along. Good luck.
