I usually eat trail mix and beef jerky. I don't like to eat a banana because I usually don't finish it before I have to take another shot and they're awkward to put down between bites. If I've skipped a meal, I'll eat a protein bar, too.

I notice a lot of the pros eat bananas on the course.  I usually take a protein bar on the course and try to stay hydrated,  seems to work for me. Food high in sugar will give you a boost but it doesn't seem to last long. Fruits are good, apples, oranges, etc. for maintaining some energy levels.

Most of the time nothing. Occasionally I put a pack of peanut butter crackers in my bag, and less occasionally I actually remember they are there and remember to eat them.

When I used to play from daylight to dark on the weekends (which I never do anymore) I sometimes put a sandwich and some drinks in my cooler on my cart (if I thought about it before I left my house). Most of the time my intentions were to only play a round or two. Then another friend or two would show up and I would play another round or two with them. Then another friend or two would show up and we would play more. Before I knew it my "morning round" had turned into all day and we are playing the last few holes with the lights on our golf cart.

Those were fun days. Sometimes in the middle of all of that we would actually hit a stretch where we played some good golf. ;-)

To me, the "Uncrustables" by Smucker's are the ultimate golf snack. I pull one out of the freezer that morning when I leave and throw it in one of the pockets on my bag. By the time I'm ready to eat it during my round, it has thawed and is delicious without the mess of a homemade PB&J.; Perfect size snack to fill that void without making you feel like you've just eaten.

Well here's a scotch egg for those who have never had the pleasure! It's a whole boiled egg, wrapped in seasoned sausage meat, covered in breadcrumbs! Quite delicious! And here's a traditional English pork pie!

Scotch eggs aren't made with Scotch? :-( They still look good though.

They really are Good! It's pretty much all I eat while playing, they fit in the palm of ya hand so they not over filling, yet still fill a hole! but i do fancy a change! I buy them freshly made the day before I play, and I buy them for the rest of the 3/4some too, then I pull out a flask of coffee laced with disaronno to wash em down! I figure 4 hours carrying my clubs warrants a little snack break!

For me, having some sort of candy bar is always my go-to snack whilst playing.  I hate being too full mid round, but definitely need some energy going into the back9!

Snickers or M & M's

    • Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
