Early or late tee times?

[Deleted Member 1156]

Which do you prefer in a competition? Got my teetimes through for a competition today and I'm off at 7:40, 2nd game out. Unfortunately, I'm not what you might call a 'morning person'. I'd much rather have a late time.

I prefer late tee times, so i can get a few holes in, and worm up. Not a morning person either. lol

 

[RGDave]

Late.

Never broken 80 before Lunchtime.

I fear my stomach rules my mood.

 

[bluewolf]

Late. Captains day on Sunday. Tee time of 14:43. About right. Then again, I work nights, so I might be a bit biased.

 

[DannyOT]

I prefer late tee times so that I can get to the course early and practice. I never actually do this though as I get moaned at to play as early as possible so I can spend the rest of the day at home.

I do hope you have a spare 9 hole course for that!!
I don't mind to be honest but I have done an all nighter when I have had a 7:30 tee time.

Early, prefer pre 8am

Seriously?????? No unless it's match play you play every week!?

early for me im up everyday for work so if i can get out with the lark suits me and saves some grief from HID as i'm home well in time for lunch and family time.

We pick our times and mine's usually about 8.15am

 

[ScienceBoy]

Earlier the better! I love the feeling of a sunny Sunday morning and knowing its not even 10am when I hit the back 9!

My usual was around 8.30 am as the bar opened for breakfast at 7am, grab a bacon roll and a coffee, warm up then head to the tee

Interesting rule, thanks for that. Will need to stick to the practise area.
What happens if someone gets caught playing on the course on the day of a comp. Do you get disqualified.

Yes. We have had players who have been DQed for playing chip shots onto the practice green from an area designated as part of the course. We have a chipping area so there is no need to practice it on the course.

 

[munro007]

Thx for that Duncan. Every days a school day. I have only been playing seriously for 3 months, so its good to learn these thing. Now for people that have been playing for years, what their excuses.

 

[North Mimms]

Most people who have been playing for years know this rule.
Whether they obey it is another matter
