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.

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.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
