Howdy, welcome to the Sunday golf discussion. Watching the Sunday round of the WGC – FedEx St. Jude Invitational (Go Phil) and started thinking about playing golf. Do you prefer to play morning or afternoon golf?
Morning:
- Light dew on the greens and fairways
- Playing quickly. All morning players love the 3 hour or under 18-hole rounds
- No beverage cart
- Early to rise to get to the course
- Limited practice session before heading out
- Greens change as the dew and sun come out
- Lunch at the course. Do you drink at 10:30 AM?
- Chores around the house get done
Afternoon:
- Sun baked fairways and greens. (Faster)
- Generally slower unless you catch the perfect time
- Beverage cart for that aiming fluid
- Head to the course at a chosen time
- Plenty of practice time to get ready for the round
- Dinner at the course afterwards or cocktails or both. (I chose both)
- Once you hit the course nothing else matters and chores better be done, or they will be tomorrow
Now that you have seen the positives and negatives here is my take.
Morning golf is for the guys you like to play with. Get the gamble on and go win the match. You are there to golf and talk trash to each other. Play quickly and can still get back home to get other items done around the house.
Afternoon golf is the time to work on a few things and play with the family or friends as couples. You are there to socialize plod along and enjoy the gorgeous weather while playing some golf. While you may have a game, you will just be out for a great afternoon of fun and beverages.
Either way get out play and enjoy the limited weather in the Midwest.
Now sit back relax and watch the finish.
