As long as they don't hold up play although I suspect setting up a picnic on the 10th tee would be frowned on.
I don't see why not, as long as play is not unduly delayed. If the course has a halfway house they might be a bit upset though!

[h=2]6-8a/2.5[/h] [h=4]Discontinuing Play for Refreshment[/h]The Committee may not permit players to discontinue play for refreshment for an extended period during a stipulated round. Such a condition would modify Rule 6-8a.
The Committee may, however, in the conditions of a competition, permit players to discontinue play for a short period of time (e.g., up to five minutes), if it considers there to be good reason (e.g., a danger of dehydration or heat exhaustion in hot climates or a need to warm up in cold climates).
However, since the Rules make specific provision for players to play without undue delay (Rule 6-7) and continuously (Rule 6-8a), such a condition is not recommended.
[h=2]6-8a/2.7[/h] [h=4]Entering Clubhouse or Half-Way House for Refreshment During Round[/h]Q.May a player, between the play of two holes, enter the clubhouse or a "half-way house" to obtain a refreshment if he then proceeds immediately to the next tee and consumes the food and/or drink while continuing his round?
A.Yes. A player may enter the clubhouse or a half-way house without penalty (see Note to Rule 6-8a).
However, the player must not unduly delay either his own play or that of his opponent or any other competitor (Rule 6-7).

Interesting decisions. Does that effectively mean stopping off at Sunningdale's legendary half-way hut and spending 10 minutes enjoying one of the best sausage baps on offer is contrary to the Rules of Golf?
