18 Holes before 9am



It's become apparent to me that weekday evening golf is an impossibility. Therefore, I tried teeing off today before sunrise and wrapping up before 9am at Swansea CC (Jake - played the Golds).

Pros:
  • Playing 2 balls about a 1/3 of the time, the round only took 2:20 (cart of course)
  • Making a birdie before work is awesome
  • New excuse for missed putts - groundkeeping crew stopping and watching every putt with equipment running
  • Greens are covered in dew allowing you to see the exact line on the last person's putt
Cons:
  • Stiff as a board first 4 holes (2 mulligans were allowed... )
  • It's cold at at 6:30 (today happened to be the coldest morning of the summer according to the grounds-crew
  • You need to be AWAKE to play golf... requires some focus
  • No early bird price... are you kidding me?
