Weekend Tee Times

[Jamesbrown]

8am winter, 7am summer. Green keepers have lights on their mowers so they still get the basics done.

First light in the winter, no comps in the summer before 7:00am, but individuals can go out from first light so long as they give way to greenkeepers.

Just checked and about 1 hour after daybreak seems to be the norm here (although greenstaff will easily have been in for a couple of hours by then prepping the course)

Ours is 8 in summer and 7.30 in winter our 4 book it 4weeks in advance every week

We can book from 8 summer and winter, however daylight really dictates first tee off time. played Saturday, was off at 8.05, just about able to see and back in at 11.05 !!
In the summer you can tee off almost whenever you want but can't book a time until 8.

8am during the winter, but as Patrick said, it doesn't get light up here much before that. I once went out early doors at my last club and was on the second green when the automatic sprinklers came on and soaked me!

I must confess that when I was a HGK I used to use that trick on a couple of early starting members groups who always moaned about the greenstaff getting in the way..
Time the cycle to a short splash going forward at 15 minute intervals a green so it would totally mess them up.

We don't operate a tee booking for members so it's basically turn up and play when there's sufficient light but we all members to defer to the green staff.

We don't have tee times. We have a regular group that congregate on the first before its light and are off and playing at first light. I've seen them on the tee when I'd say it was still dark and must make seeing the ball hard. Still they seem happy enough. There are usually a few odd four balls that then go out and a couple small roll ups before my Saturday group draw the balls at 7.45 and hit the tee by 8.00. Everyone knows when these roll ups go out so as long as you're in the queue ahead of them you go out before them. There's also the option to go off the tenth if the first is really busy
