Experts say that you are 20% what you do and 80 % what you eat and it has been calculated that during a round of golf you will burn between 1070 to 1650 calories depending whether you are walking or in a buggy so you need an energy top up during the round which can take between 4 to 5 hours
Top professionals have their own preferences with Tiger Woods choosing peanut butter sandwiches, Seve Ballesteros choose bananas and Phil Mikkelsen almonds.
They all have some things in common in that they are high in protein, loaded with healthy fats and carbohydrates which provide a much needed energy boost.
