chocolate preference

However, I do take a kelloggs nutrigrain bar that I eat between the 9th and 10th holes usually.

Hmm, don't those bars have just as much sugar (empty calories) as chocolate? (i.e. all of the guilt, none of the fun?)
I should add I take an apple too, but that doesn't have the comfort factor when I've been in the ditch (or bunker, or both) on the 11th.
Homer - I sympathise - come on guys, there must be something we can suggest for him before the big match!

Not sure if they are right for you Homer but my mum eats the diabetic range of sweets and chocolate that you can buy in Boots. she is especially fond of the fruit gums
 
Dave, im not angel matey those nutri (a) grain bars are probably just as bad as chocolate though im not a big chocolate fan.
Jon, its a game of golf you are playing not a military exercise!
 
Haribo for me all the way!

Water or blue powerade! If its water its tap water, not fancy $h1t for £1.50, my tap water tastes fine.
 
No choccy for me as a rule. Just munch mints all the way round so get steady dribble of sugar rather than a rush half way round. (Sorry Homer, that's no help to you). On the other hand, any course that has a half way house - it has to be a sausage sarny
 
1 - Flask of coffee
2 - 20 cigs

sad I know I started smoking again but the beast will be tamed again starting from tomorrow.

When I take fruit I tend to find it a few weeks later in the bottom of my bag.
 
Oh, the way to go is a biscuit "BOOST". Just before you hit a glorious draw to a 176 yd par 3, only to discover that the pin is cut "temporary" short of the front edge.....(or was that the nicotine rush?)

dave3498 favours the old classic "tunnocks" wafer. I placed one of these on my bag by the 7th (?) at Llangollen, only to rush to find my ball, lose it (the wafer), and feel the need to search for it about 10 holes later!!!

surely a favourite of those north of the border!!!

t.b.h. any choccy is good, hence the interest in the Wednesday weigh in. "Kit-kat.....so much nicer after a 150 yd rapier to the green"......I should take up ad slogans as a career!!!

Who knows..when does a wafer become a bar?, when does a bar become a cake?......when does a cake become a biscuit?......oh, the perils of modern golfing.... <img src="http://www.golf-monthly.co.uk/forums/images//graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

a man after my own clogged artery-ed heart, a biscuit boost. I am going to tesco's tonight on my way to work to hunt down one of those bad boy's.
 
Has to be snickers - get some nuts! Failing that a bounty will do. Usually the double ones - start eating on the 9th. And always have a lucozade sport. Gotta keep the energy levels up as its hard work finding your ball!
 
Hi AliB
I have to say I like my funsize bars as well, you can have 2 of these and not feel guilty!!!! I like my snickers. I have been known to scoff one as I'm walking up the 1st fairway. I always carry a banana though and have this between the 9th and 10th and eat my second snickers at about the 15th. I also always carry a packet of humbugs (soft centred) in the bag, just in case (I do share with my playing partners)
I know it's calories but what the hell you only live once.
Homer, I asked a nurse friend about what you could eat as she is diabetic too and she recommends a cearal bar called eat naturally from tesco, she said it quite high in carbs but is slow releasing so should see through 18 holes with a bottle of juice aswell and it's got chocolate on the back!!!
Take care

think it's time to cue music ...

sounds like you go out well prepared. I like to set off after an early breakfast - there's only so much I can eat before my cup of coffee in the clubhouse. When we're playing later (eg on holiday) and probably missing lunch, I do stock up a bit more. Bananas always good for sustenance!

Aye! You can't beat a Tunnock RGUK.

I've also been imbibing the Glen Livet from the flask lately. Another of the treasures our friends from the North have given us.
 
Anything with the brand name Cadbury for me, though actually am more likely to have some wine gums or similar, and am even cutting back on these by chewing gum, which seems to aid my concentration a little.

The problem is if you don't each while playing you end up tired after 16 holes or ravenous when you get home or to McDonalds, whichever is nearer.

Have I missed any product placement opportunities?
 
Never been wild about chocolate and then always preferred the really bitter sort. Somehow though the chocolate in an Artic rat pack always used to taste better (the Rolo's were always left outside the tent at 20 below and given to the Noggie kids).

The 7th and 12th are both a bit of a roadblock so are natural breaks - winter it's coffee laced with rum and molasses sugar - tastes like licorice.
edibles; I prefer fruit, nuts and seeds but often forget to eat them. I always seem to have left over grain bars in the bag. Bananas are ok but never really do the job, and somehow never really want to get it back out the bag for the second bite.

You refering to the dehidrated rat packs by anychance?
With apple flakes?

Good old Nutty in the blue and white wrappers.
 
I remember the apple flakes, one of the better finds.
We had loads of chocolate in the packs, the blue and white as you say, but also commercial brands (Rolo, Mars) though they never tasted the same and the peanuts always vaguely tasted of soap.
What were they - 6000 calories?
