I feel I need to eat during a round! And I always take something with me! My favourite snack on the course is a pork pie! Love em!! Also partial to a scotch egg! Or a cheese and ham salad roll with salad cream! (Don't like mayo) These snacks are tasty, quite filling and fuel me without feeling heavy on the tum! My friend eats nothing but bananas! I call him banana man, as it also describes his ball flight! Another friend just eats buiscuits crisps and cake bars! Each to their own I say! What does anyone else eat?? I'm after inspiration!

I usually limit my food to a banana, and some cantaloupe slices. I use take these when I cycled, and they seem to help with giving a boost in energy.

Ahhhh! Yup! They're melons! That type is a rock melon over here! As opposed to regular melon and water melon!

I had no idea that it was called that across the pond.

Back to the topic ...

Usually I snack on almonds, cashews, pecans, etc.  I also bring along protein shakes.

We have honey dew, honey rock, cantaloupe and watermelon.   All similar but the taste is different in each.   In different parts of the US, they may be limited.

Ditto that........

I've never had the urge to eat on the course, except for the occasional dog or brat at the turn.   If I was drinking the night before and have yet to eat anything that morning, I might get 2 at the turn...LOL.....

I used to take a mini picnic with me every time I played -- grapes, nuts, bananas, snack bars, and a sandwich. Now it's mostly bananas (2-3), a Clif Bar (which I don't always eat), and a sandwich (usually PB&J;). If I'm visiting a "nice" course, I'll take less with me and plan to eat after the round. I can certainly carry less with me to a course where I know they have water available every 3-4 holes -- one bottle is sufficient, in that case. Plus, those courses I tend to ride, so I can't put a bagboy cooler under my walking cart.

Pork pie and scotch egg...? Wth are these things... Haha. Next you will be breaking out the blood sausage. I will have to google these. I was eating Lenny and Larry's complete cookies and a sandwich of some sort at times. Raw almonds are good too.

Scotch egg sounds good. I don't know how I missed that on first viewing. I've periodically taken hard boiled eggs to the course with me in the past -- usually when I had an early morning tee time. I'd make them the night before and put 'em in the fridge. Now that I think of it, I've never taken tea eggs to the course. Now I have to try that next time I make them.

Same for me. I never really ate during a round before. I've seen people bring coolers with breakfast sandwiches (homemade egg, bacon and tomato sandwiches on uncut italian bread) to the course. I don't really get it lol.

I'll take a dog or a brat at the turn, but during my round I'm snacking on beers and water. Protein, carbs and it's ice cold!

We don't see much in the way of meat pies here in the US.  I have had them in the UK and Australia, and they can be really good if fresh.  I have also walked by the same vendor who had the same pies out for a couple of days!  Those we avoided.  My favorite was the beef and onion pies at this great roadside shop near Sydney.

I will usually bring a Cliff Bar or some other snack with me.  If I am walking, I will have one on the front side and one on the back.  I also will eat peanut butter crackers and the occasional dog.  G2 Gatoraid is what I drink when it is warm enough to cause me to sweat.  I have problems with cramping in my hands and feet if I don't take in electrolytes when it is hot.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
