Breakfast Before Golf: Eat Like a Champion, Not Like You’re Going Back to Bed

Here’s the thing about golf breakfast:You don’t want to be starving by the 6th hole…but you also don’t want to eat like you’re preparing for a nap and a regretful bathroom visit on the back nine.

That’s a delicate balance, folks. This is science. Probably.

The Lineup at St. Johns Golf Club – Elkton

St. Johns Golf Club has a solid breakfast menu. Not “airport muffin sad,” but real food. Let’s break it down golfer-style:

Breakfast Burrito – $8.50Sausage, egg, cheese, peppers, onions, wrapped up nice and tight.Delicious? Yes.Risky? Also yes.That burrito could make the turn feel like a hostage negotiation.

Fruit & Yogurt Parfait – $6.25Healthy. Clean. Respectable.Also… are you golfing or training for a yoga retreat?Good choice if you’re sharing a cart for 18 holes and judging everyone else silently.

French Toast – $8.50Tastes amazing. Smells amazing.But once that powdered sugar hits, your body immediately goes,“Oh… we’re done being productive today.”

Belgian Waffles – $9.50Fresh fruit, crispy waffles—this is a brunch power move.Great if your tee time is flexible and your score doesn’t matter.

Breakfast Bowl – $10.00This thing has sausage, bacon, ham, potatoes, cheese, eggs…That’s not breakfast. That’s a commitment.You’ll stripe your first drive and then need a cart, a nap, and forgiveness.

The Smart Golfer’s Choice

The Classic Breakfast Sandwich – $8.50

This is the move. Period.

Scrambled eggs (real eggs—or egg whites if you’re pretending),crispy bacon, melted cheddar,all sitting politely on an English muffin.

It doesn’t weigh you down.It lets you move.It fuels you without threatening your spine rotation.

And I’ll be honest—there’s something about an English muffin that just hits differently.It reminds me of Sunday mornings at my grandmother’s house,where breakfast meant love, butter, and nobody cared about cholesterol yet.

Add a little cheese? You have to.This is golf, not probation.
