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.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
