Need some quick advice...

[Flyman]

A buddy of mine and I are going to play a round tomorrow, and we have a 10am tee time. He wants to play nine, take a lunch break with each of us just bringing a sack lunch, and then play the back nine. So my question is...what would be a good sack lunch to take on with me? I don't want to eat rabbit food and feel hungry for the rest of the round, but I also don't want to get that heavy feeling for the final nine holes. Thoughts and advice? Thanks ahead of time.

Won't stopping to eat lunch throw things off? You'll invariably have to wave groups through... and then what - try to jump in between two groups?

For that reason I think you should take a lunch you can eat while you continue your round . A peanut butter sandwich or something.

I vote sandwich as well. They keep without a cooler, they've got some protein and carbs, you can eat it with just your hands, and you don't have to eat it all at once. Add an apple and a granola bar or two and that should hold you. Just do everything you can to not hold up play. If you can, keep the sack with you and eat in the cart between shots. If not, make sure to tell the groups behind you to play through.

I think his idea was to pull the cart off to the side and sit so groups could just play through and then pick our spot to get back on. Not sure how busy a course on the outskirts of Pittsburgh will be on a Monday morning. I dunno...I've only played 45 holes in my entire life and all have been in the afternoon, lol. The PB sandwich sounds like a good idea.

Chocolate Almond MetRx bars. Great nutrition, filling and yummy. take a bag of baby carrots as well to munch and you have food that travels well and eats well while in motion.

Really?

You're asking the internet what to have for lunch?

And the internet is answering?

Interesting.  I wonder too - how do any of us know what would work for him?  One person's heavy lunch is another man's snack.  And too, if he was playing my home course, they might never get back on for the back 9.  If it's me, I eat while I play rather than try to squeeze back in somewhere.
