Course snack

If I take any form of snack at all....99% of the time I forget about it until after the round.....
Guess it shows I don't need one....
 
I mentioned this in he 'bought today' thread yesterday, which makes me wonder if OP read that and then made this thread, but anyway. 😄

I used to get Grenade white chocolate protein bars and have one at half way, but I haven't been to Costco to get them for a while so I've tried a few others. My new favourite is the Trek flapjack ones. On a meaningful round I've started having one after 6 holes and another after 12, since I noticed a trend of me playing crap around the 16th/17th so I figured maybe taking more protein on board a bit later would help. They have about 9g of protein each whereas the old Grenade ones were 20g so it works out similar.
I did indeed see your post and it gave me the idea to ask what others take :ROFLMAO:
 
Usually a banana and a Eat Natural Dark chocolate cereal bar. Almost always a drink a bottle or lucozade during the round but sometimes a small water too
 
The youth came out of the pro's shop at Nefyn with a bottle of pop and a packet of Haribo on Thursday..."these are to share with my playing partners"

Great to see him taking his on course nutrition seriously...
 
Don’t bother eating during a round - don’t need it so I don’t do it. Carry some water and will have a drink from halfway hut - hot or cold as the notion takes me.
 
A teacake is also a teacake in the part of Lancashire that I come from, what you call a teacake is a currant teacake.
This should save everyone some time (or start an argument about geographical incorrectness :D)

I can usually manage three hours without food.
It's not about managing without food, it's about keeping your energy levels up and preventing low sugar spikes. You use and burn a lot during a round of golf, which can have a detrimental affect on your game, why wouldn't you take steps to address it?

It's the little things that add up which can help you shoot better scores 😉
 
We play in a charity event every year run by a Sikh family, they usually have samosas and pakoras at the turn and a full English breakfast at the start. A real mix of two cultures...try not replicate that every week so a pepperami usually.

I'm certainly not aware that I get low sugar spikes during a round of golf and am highly sceptical that I do.
And don't get me started on the complete nonsense that is 'electrolytes'.
 
An apple

At the club we get given a biscuit with our coffee, several of the guys do not want it and give it to me, I keep these in the golf bag for a 'top me up'.
