Do you eat/snack at the turn… or, do you keep on going..?

I take a couple packs of crackers with me when i head to the course.
 
I usually keep going.
 
I eat an energy bar at the turn and wash it down with a Monster energy drink and I still run out of gas around hole 14 or 15. It's hell getting old!
 
It’s sad the “stop” has gone by the wayside. I enjoyed the good old days of trying to sober up with a dog, maybe some chicken tenders, catching a little college football (even though I don’t really watch football) then heading back out. But then again we had AA batteries in the speakers and iPods were new fangled gadgets.

Now everyone wants to hurry up and get home so they can complain on the internet about slow play.

Sometimes in tournaments I'll get something if it's like a 6hr round .

In normal rounds never
 
I usually have a banana or an energy bar on the way to the 10th tee.
 
I’ll generally just keep going
 
Kind bar, peanut butter crackers or some Chomps beef sticks in bag. Only time I’ve eaten at the club is if it’s between 18s. Never at the turn.
 
I throw a few things in the bag beforehand. Snack on them whenever. Usually walk and don't need to go right past the clubhouse between 9s at most courses. Often there's a shortcut.
 
Granola bar on the go at the turn.
 
If I didn’t eat before the round I’ll grab something ready made to go. Otherwise maybe a Gatorade and a pack of crackers.
 
Carry banana and salted crackers or unsalted nuts … rare that l will grab something , more so if its cold and a hot pie perhaps
 
Depends on what time we are going thru the turn.

If it's lunch time, I grab a couple of steamed hot dogs and head to the tee box.

Other than that, I usually just run in and go to the bathroom if needed.
I always have water and some light snacks with me.
 
Typically grab a drink and a snack and keep it moving
 
Sometimes grab a coke to get some energy.
 
Always take a sandwich and a chocolate bar. Always have it after 9 holes unless I get hungry early. Never stop if I can help it. Either eat while I'm waiting for others to hit on 10 or as I'm walking up 10 after hitting.

I've always wondered if "the stop" was a regional thing. Having played golf for 38 years with most of it in CA and AZ, "the stop" has never been a thing at any course I've played. You grab a dog/candy bar and a drink at most and get right back out there, or you lose your place on the course and nobody is going to be very sympathetic about letting you back in ahead of them.
 
I bring a protein bar in my cooler with the water. Will keep on playing.
 
I often have a KIND bar, PB&J sandwich or similar snack in my bag. No stopping at the turn.
 
I have some almonds and a banana in my bag and have them around hole 10.

Maybe a combo of regional and golf course dynamics/economics. Mom and Pop clubs are so laid back if you miss your “spot”, meh, just jump in when you see a gap. Likely the tee sheet has never been full since it was built. Then as you go up in cost/prestige it gets testy. Gotta have that 3 hour round, get of my lawn. Then it tops out at the ultra exclusive places where members do what the hell they want when they want. That’s kinda been my take over the past 35 years. Our current place puts the country in country club. Carhartt apparel welcomed!
 
We don't stop at the turn, but I do carry a snack with me, either peanut butter crackers, or some nuts of some kind, that I snack on during the round.
 
If I didn’t bring anything with me. Sometimes even if I did, just to cool off and refresh my water.
 
snack in the bag and keep moving
