I have a tee time tomorrow morning at 7:02. I asked for the earliest time they had and didn't really think anything of it. I checked today to see what time sunrise is tomorrow and it is not until 7:24. I don't typically pay attention to "official" sunrise times. Are they pretty accurate? Will I be playing the first couple holes in the dark? I would assume that the course knows what time the sun comes up and wouldn't schedule a tee time in the dark. Anybody ever tee off before sunrise?

Won't be dark. It is usually plenty light before actual sunrise.

Look up the definition of civil twilight.   You'll find that there should be enough light to do most activities.   Here in Michigan, tomorrow, 9/26/15 civil twilight is at 6:57 am.   Finding an errant shot may prove difficult though.

If it's a sunny day then no prob.

Good point. The morning twilight won't buy you nearly as much time if it is going to be overcast.

My home course schedules their first morning tee time for about 20 minutes before you can see the ball. They will give you a glow ball in the pro shop which you are expected to use for the first two holes. I've never booked one of those times, but I believe they notify groups of this expectation when making the reservation. Anyway, I think you will be fine 20 minutes before the official sunrise, but the first hole you may want to hit a shorter club, just to be sure

my home public course has a number of retired monthly pass holders who insist on teeing off in complete darkness - more than an hour before sunrise.  It's rather unbelievable.  They're there with headlamps, a strong light on the ground and a partner keeping an eye out.  To top it off, this is the SF Bay area and it's often extremely foggy as well.  Good thing they don't hit the ball far.  I think they play like 5 holes in the dark.  It's a riot.

I know this because I'm often heading to the driving range before work.

      This Putting Product Actually Seems Like it May Have Some Value.

      By snapfade ·

      I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.

      Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.

      Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
