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!

      Revisiting My First Golf Instructor

      By klineka ·

      What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable....

      By snapfade ·

      One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable....

      I usually shy away from giving advice on a golf swing since so many here are more qualified than I am.  You might try the following:  Create a "MySwing" page on this  site and you will get a lot of good advice Filter all of the advice and try to only focus on one or two things at a time.  Unfortunately it is very hard, if not impossible, to constantly change different things at the same time.  Figure out what is the most important thing to work on at this moment in your golf swing and focus on that until you have it engrained, then move on the the next change. Remember, we all have both good & bad shots.  The difference between the pros and us hackers is the ratio of good to bad shots. Understand that a bad swing can occasionally look like a great result and a good swing can occasionally have a bad result.  The key is to focus on one thing and work to get that as consistent as possible.  Ideally that will gradually increase the number of good shots vs bad shots.    Do not forget to have fun.

      Revisiting My First Golf Instructor

      By billchao ·

      You need to stick with one instructor as long as they’re not terrible. There’s no blueprint to improving a golf swing and different instructors may see different things as being more important and try to fix them. The end result is you get a hodge podge of things to work in that may not be cohesive or necessarily help you. If you stick to one instructor and communicate to them as such, they’ll also be able to work out a roadmap to your improvement which is more beneficial in the long run. If a guy assumes you’re just coming in for one lesson you might end up with a band aid.
