If I'm hungry sometimes I like to run inside and grab a hotdog at the turn. Usually takes no more than 5 minutes.
Usually we let the group behind us go ahead through if they aren't stopping as well. On a couple occasions I've had some grumpy old men start screaming at us as we tee up on #10 and they're putting on #9.
I nearly lost my temper with one old coot because he assumed we were sneaking onto the course and jumping ahead of him. After I explained, he was very apologetic and even approached me in the clubhouse afterwards to apologize again. Oh well, no harm done.
Hmmm.. with my group, we usually stop for lunch or dinner at the club house after the first nine. Based on your story of a 5 minute break, I'm guessing having an hour long meal in between is not normal.
We usually stop at the turn and get a dog and some beers or Gatorade...I don't usually play too well the first couple holes, not sure if it's just the eating thing messing me up or not, but gotta get grub in ya.
Every 18 hole round I play. Stop and get a Glazier's hot dog, Gatorade, and chocolate. And for people who have no idea what a Glazier's is, it's a red Hot dog.
I normaly have a mars bar after 6 on my home course as it is a bit of a walk from the 6th green to 7th tee but i would not stop for anything on passing the clubhouse. i always go to golf prepaired with all i need in my bag.
They should really put a hotdog cart and minibar between 9 and 10.
Well it'd have to be in the 1st tee on ours as its also the 10th tee..lol
I think its a great idea, as long as it doesn't hold up play.
I don't think its a good idea to eat too much in one go during a round, as your body will be trying to digest food when you tee off again. I think I'd rather have a good feast after a round instead & just sip on water & maybe munch a bananna, whilst waiting for someone to tee off.
