I like playing in the morning.  Get up, have breakfast, take out the dog, and hit the course.  Probably 8:30 is my favorite time.  Can get in breakfast and a little warm up without having to get up at 5:30!  Though I kind of like dawn rounds too.  There's something nice about getting up in the dark and teeing off in the gloaming!

Honestly I play whenever I can though.  If a twilight round is what I can get in, then hell yeah I'll play late.

First off. My home course starts play at 8:00am. A friend and I play 18 holes in a comfortable 2:15 with  out rushing or waiting and we are home by 10:30 with the rest of the day ahead of us.

My second favorite is finishing at twilight.

well that depends on my mood, i am really a morning person so i love to tee off some where around 8 am while my mind is still fresh, but i play whenever i get the chance, i love to get out there with some good old friends and have a little friendly match, losers have to pay dinner.

I'm an afternoon person also because of the reasons you state. It's productive time spent playing and the course looks great when the sun descends. The only slight negative is that the greens get longer and could get choppy from groups. Actually, just get me on a golf course any time of the day.

I live in NE Ohio where we're lucky to see 2 weeks a year where it's warm and dry enough to tee it up before 10am ... EVER!  That said, I do not like playing in the cold with a jacket zipped up to my chin and in wet, early morning conditions.

Perfect Sunday golf day in NE Ohio:  Eat breakfast and surf golfnow.com for a noon - 1pm tee time at a nice track for the wife and me. Tee off around 1pm, play 18 in about 4 hours then find a nice outdoor restaurant for a burger and beer afterwards.

We were fortunate this year to be able to play nearly every Sunday from May through end of September with only one or two rain outs.  Plus, my wife is a pretty good player and much easier on the eyes than the knuckleheads I play with on Thursdays!

    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls. 
    • Day 1 - 2025-12-20 Starting a new streak, of at least 1. With rain dumping for the next week in the north bay area, I'll be a lot of outdoor net work and maybe some putting. About 10 minutes of 7 iron work, focused on the usuals: weight transfer, keeping hands behind me. I'll have more time in the coming days for video review and maybe some Hack Motion.
    • Day 40 (20 Dec 25) - got in a few reps with the 55° wedge - focused on low flighted spinners from about 10 yds in, then wrapped up the session with a few bump and runs chips with the 5i using a putting type stroke. 
    • Day 26: did my drill in the driveway for a bit. Feeling pretty decent about the change.
