Afternoon for me, anything before 10 AM is work.

I can play 18 holes after I get out of work at 4PM in the summertime; on the weekends I'll play in the early afternoon.

Well, early morning is great if I can make myself do it, but I generally go for twilight. It's hot when you start, but it's usually pretty pleasant for most of the round. It is annoying if you start late and the last few holes are hard to see on though. It's a risk I'm willing to take.

Friday after work.. Leave the office at around 5 PM, play 9-18 holes and then circle back to the first hole for practice. By that time no-one starts a new round and we know the course managers well enough that they allow us to practice until it gets too dark. We generally get about an hour or two of practice in.

It does get windy though.. every evening it picks up from the bay.

3-4pm. Very warm yet im not struggling to get up in the morning. Besides its jam packed in the morning and very calm maybe even slow around 3ish which i like. No rush and no waiting. Play at your own pace which is good for my buddy who's a n00bie.

And you can watch the water trail on the ball

Mind you though, I often have a hard time transitioning to dry greens

I'm a 4-6 type of guy, me and my friends will shoot 9 to 18 then play one more round of 9 and have a couple drinks. Afterwords head to the club house and have a couple more while discussing how we played that day. Its always a good time.

Driver- launcher 460 9.5
Irons- 7a knock offs
putter- Scotty cameron futura
ball- Prov 1x


Ill go early in the mornings on work days and roll into the office a few hours late. But on the weekend i like to tee off around 11 so I can sleep a little.

We always try and get the 7am tee time. Our foursome likes to be 1st, because we play fast and can finish in 3 hours. Nobody in front of us at all.

Pretty much as late as I can go and get 9 holes in without darkness becoming a problem. Also, when people aren't really on the course, so I usually head out at about 7:30 PM. That or else really early.

    • @WillieT! Back to back 🦅 🦅 are awesome!
    • A report from day 2 of the event, an unfortunate situation occurred.  One player noticed that one of the other players in his group had what appeared to be stickers on several of his clubs, the ones on the face used with certain launch monitors.  Word got back to the rules staff, and we (surreptitiously) confirmed the presence of the stickers.  Those stickers are "external attachments", and their presence renders a club non-conforming.  If a Player uses a non-conforming club to make a stroke, he is DQ.  That's the easy part, the rule is pretty straightforward.  The tough part, how to handle it.  We considered having a quiet talk with the player while the round was still going on, but decided against it.  We didn't want to DQ a player in the middle of the round, having him walking back to the parking lot on his own, as well as changing the pace and rhythm of the other players in his group.  Instead, the Official in Charge, a young employee of the Middle Atlantic PGA who will be heading up their junior program this year, had a discussion with the player at scoring.  The player took it with good grace, said he never knew they were a problem.  He works with a swing coach, who was the one to help him put the stickers on in the first place, and apparently the coach never told him he needs to take them off.    Ther4e are a few things that a player may do once in his golfing career.  I think failing to identify his ball and consequently playing a Wrong Ball is one of those.  Getting DQ for stickers on a club face is another.  
    • Feel ≠ Real. 😁 For someone like me who has a lot of twist and little arm turn down. The feel is absurdly obnoxious. I hate it, but it works. I am sure for those who get a lot of hands down behind them, feeling the elbow a bit more in front of them makes sure they do not get stuck. Maybe better golfers tend to have that motion naturally, I may be able to see how that feel became something. 
    • At first glance - option 1 mainly because I’ve never played a dedicated par 3 and 18 holes of par 5’s, well l’m pretty sure  I would be exhausted from playing that length.  I have rarely made the green in two on a five, so not getting there in two is not a sore spot. At second glance, it’s still a par 3 with 6i max.
