Early in the weekends to get more time with my familiy, but I'm ok with playing any time of the day as long as the pace of play is ok. 

In the bag: Callaway Mavrik SZ 10,5 driver (X stiff), Cobra King 4 wood (Stiff, 2006 model), Callaway Mavrik irons 4 - P+A (stiff), Cobra King Pur wedges 52, 56 and 60 (stiff) and Odessey white steel putter.  Very happy with the set and the gapping.

When i lived in Dayton, I loved playing golf after 5:30, get that twilight hour and just play as many holes till dark. 

Really, I do not discriminate against when I play golf. I have no actual preference in that I would not play golf if it was a certain tee time.

I typically play later in the day due to work/schedule as well as the fact that the course is generally less busy and I hate waiting 5-10 minutes for every shot. 

That said, nothing brings me more golf satisfaction that watching the sun come up a cool morning with dew on the fairways and freshly swept greens!

Played early again this past Sunday. Actually enjoyed it more because I didn't get completely sh*t faced on Saturday night. Plus it wasn't quite as wet and cooler.  Starting to become a morning golfer.

My bag:

Taylor Made R7 (x-stiff).
Taylor Made Burner 2 irons (stiff)
Cleveland Wedges (gap and 60)
Odyssey two ball putter (white)

I like to play early because I wake up early regardless. The only drawback is sometimes the course isn't prepped (bunkers raked) and you have to knock all the dew off. But I'm willing to play whenever as long as I can get in 18 holes

I only play on weekends and I play 36-45 holes each day so first off the tee in the morning is a must. First round is usually 45 minutes since it is only par 3s and 4s. Then I typically squeeze in where there is a 2some or 3some. Total cost at my course for 45 holes is only $30.00 (its a 9 hole walking course - $10 for first round and $5 for each additional)

I pretty much play when my schedule allows.  My league is 3:08 tee time but other than that I am all over the place.  This coming Monday I am 9:10am then the following Monday is 8am.  Weekends "With the Guys" is usually 8-10am depending on what we can get.  When I play with my wife we try for very late afternoon/early evening since due to her skin cancer she prefers after 4pm to get past the higher risk parts of the day.  I know, sun screen, etc. but after 3 melanomas & multiple other forms she just does not want that risk.  She will do other times while on vacation, after bathing in sun-screen, but other than that it is late afternoon when I am with her.  It is a good Saturday if I can do a 9am with the guys and a 6pm with her.

Some of this is "Location".  A few years back I did 18 at 8am and another 18 at 2:30pm same day in Orlando in July.  That was BRUTAL!  Florida would be AM golf!

      Wind and Putting?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I know it is probably dependent on a lot of factors, but how windy does it have to be out before you need to start guessing on how much it would influence the break of your putt?  When I played at Bandon, it was like 25-30 mph winds. The caddies talked about the wind negating break. The only time I had it visually influence my putt was on hole 18 at Bandon Dunes. My missed my putt on the high side of a pretty severe breaking putt. The slope around the hole was in the 2-3 degree range. As the ball was about to come to a stop, the wind gusted and pushed the ball half a rotation into the cup.  The rest of the week I thought it had no influence at all. I was thinking, is it just over thinking to try to account for the wind?

      Day 310 - 2025-08-06 Went downtown in the late afternoon and got nearly two hours of work in. Not a ton of breaks. Was blasting the TS at the end, from a HomePod and two TVs. 😄

      I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.

      Top of the Bag Gapping and Strategies.

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.
