Have you ever experienced that crashing feeling when you make the turn after just nine holes of play? Right as the morning coffee begins to wear off you are immediately faced with a difficult decision.

Should I stop and grab a beer and hot dog in the clubhouse? Or should I wait to see the cart girl again on the back nine? For many it is the latter, but re-fueling can be made easy if you simply do some planning before hand. Try these five health and energy-boosting foods for sustained fuel to last your entire golf round.
