In the third of our Pro Review series, we talked to Bradley Neil about the reasons for trying CBD and the main benefits he’s had this season.
Which tours have you played this year?
I have played Challenge Tour and Tartan Tour this season.
I’ve played 23 events on the Challenge Tour and I’ve put some consistent scores together towards the end of the season. I’ve made 5 of the last 6 cuts and had good finishes at the Swiss event and the Emparda Challenge.
Earlier in the season I shot 64 day 3 of the Kaskada Challenge in the Czech Republic and finished top 10.
The standard gets better every week but it’s been great experience and I’m already looking forward to the challenge of next season.
What first made you try Golfers CBD?
I had heard about the positive effects CBD oil had had with athletes, especially with recovery and injuries. I had been looking into different brands for a while but uncertain about which one to go for.
Then I saw Golfers CBD advertised on Twitter and felt safer knowing other professionals were already using the products.
Which product/s do you use and how much do you take?
I use the CBD Capsules for sleep, 2 per night is perfect when playing tournaments. I used to wake up 2 or 3 times during the night so it’s great to get a good night’s sleep and wake up refreshed and feeling focused on the day ahead.
I’m still experimenting with the spray and gummies during golf. I find both convenient to use on the course so it’s just about finding the optimum dose now.
What are the main benefits you have experienced using Golfers CBD?.
I’ve certainly felt focussed for longer periods using the spray and my whoop watch has shown me the improved recoveries using the capsules.
Over the course of such a long gruelling season, these benefits are a massive advantage to have.
Would you recommend CBD to amateur players and what is a realistic expectation for improvement to their golf?
Having seen the improvement to my sleep using the capsules, I would recommend Golfers CBD to anyone who struggles with getting to sleep for an early morning tee times. Good preparation can easily reduce your score by 2 or 3 shots.
Having also felt the effects of prolonged focus during rounds using the drops/spray, this can help golfers who feel they fall away towards the end of rounds. If you finish as strong as you started you’ll get more good scores over the line.
