For Immediate Release
Miami, FL – May 8, 2025
COURSE RECORD, a functional hydration drink built for golfers, has reached 50% of its 30-day Kickstarter goal in just 48 hours. Already stocked in golf courses across 13 states, the brand is now ramping up production and preparing for national retail expansion — taking on mainstream sports & energy drinks both on and off the course. With a cleaner formula, smarter ingredients, and performance golfers actually feel, COURSE RECORD is going head-to-head in the beverage cooler, offering a better-for-you option for anyone looking to make more birdies and stay dialed in.
Better-For-You Beverage, Built for Golfers
Founder Luc Bohunicky was frustrated by typical golf cart options: “Beer, sugary sports drinks, or high- caffeine energy bombs — nothing made you feel sharp or healthy.” Co-founder and professional golfer
Keaton Veillette discovered COURSE RECORD pre-launch and joined the founding team to help bring the drink to life — leading its push into golf communities across the country, from South Florida courses to the hands of top tour pros.
COURSE RECORD is built for hydration, energy, and focus. It starts with electrolytes to keep you steady, then layers in calm energy from Asian Ginseng, B vitamins, and just 40mg of green tea caffeine — less than a Diet Coke. L-theanine smooths it out for locked-in focus without the jitters golfers hate. Just 5g of sugar, no sucralose, and nothing that throws you off your game.
“Every ingredient supports clean, mental performance,” says Keaton. “It helps you focus like a golfer — on or off the course.”
Not Just Another Drink
While other golf brands push alcoholic seltzers, COURSE RECORD functional hydration drink leans into the grind. “Golf’s hard,” says Luc. “We’re not glorifying drinking culture. We’re building something that rewards discipline, improvement, and showing up sharper every day.”
Beverage Startup Momentum
COURSE RECORD is already replacing mainstream energy drinks at golf courses in 13 states, and selling directly from its website nationwide. Their hydration drinks been featured at the PGA Show, the PGA TOUR’s Valspar Championship, the NXXT Women’s Pro Tour, and World Long Drive Championships. With strong reorders, branded mini-fridges, and sponsorships ranging from D1 tournaments to club fundraisers, early traction is building fast.
Why Kickstarter — And Why Now
After a soft launch in South Florida in late 2024, COURSE RECORD grew course by course. “People get hooked by the flavor and effects,” says Luc. “We know we’ve built something better than regular sports drinks. We know today’s golfer wants less sugar, less caffeine, and more mental focus. The question is — how do we reach them?”
Kickstarter gives new supporters early access to drinks, merch, and rewards — while helping fund the next production run. “It’s not just about funding,” says Luc. “It’s about growing awareness, letting people try a better product, and growing our community.”
Unlike most crowdfunded products, COURSE RECORD is already real, proven, and performing. Backers aren’t betting on vaporware — they’re helping scale something that’s already working.
What Golfers Are Saying
PGA/Korn Ferry Tour pro Bryson Nimmer, fresh off his first career win this past Sunday at the 2025 Tulum Championship at PGA Riviera Maya, reached out to COURSE RECORD requesting samples — and his feedback couldn’t have been clearer:
“I’ve been drinking Celsius before I play, but this is a way better option. It’s energy without the jitters.” He’s not alone. From tour players to long drive champs to golf coaches, the response has been consistent: COURSE RECORD delivers. Golfers are making more birdies, hitting longer drives, and feeling the difference.
The buzz has reached premium clubs across the country — including Turtle Bay Club in Hawaii, a Ritz- Carlton partnered property. For a club with that level of prestige, stocking typical gas station energy drinks didn’t match the image. According to their golf team, they went out of their way to find a more premium, better-for-you option for members — and landed on COURSE RECORD.
“Compared to other drinks on the market, this premium performance drink is lower in sugar, lower in caffeine, and made with natural ingredients. COURSE RECORD makes golfers not only feel good, but play good.” – Kyle Wagner, Golf Professional, Turtle Bay Club
