Whats the earliest youve played golf

[dotty001]

so sunday morning im thinking of getting to my course at 5 maybe half 5!!! to beat the comp out ,
and knock it round quickly on my own , whats the earliest youve teed up ?

Half 5. Played on a Sunday and had to get back early as my mate was going on holiday later that day

 

[patricks148]

not to early myself, as i find the dew first thing gets your feet soaked.

But my Brother used to go to Batchwood Hall Nightclub in St Albans with his mates and they would take golf stuff and play as soon as it got light at 4am in the summer. He told me that there weren't always the first on the course either, but that was the 80's.

4:30 for the longest day golf challenge. 5:30 for a knock on my own before work. There is no better time to play the early morning on a summer's day if you ask me

All early birds here, I have not hit a ball on a course before 8am :mmm:

 

[golfsaint]

only 6;45 for me - felt early for me , but it seems not that early so far !

Surprised the club lets you go out and play before a club competition in the morning.


Played early morning before going in to work a few years back. Club eventually stopped play that early so that grrenstaff could get on with their jobs before normal play starts.

4.30am for the Longest Day Challenge having got up at 3.00am to drive to Leatherhead to pick up an inebriated HTL, and drive back to Royal Ascot

nothing to stop you teeing off at say 6 if the tee is blocked for 7 till 3

I think our club don't like you going out before a comp, in fact they block the sheets off with "No play before"

 

[StrangelyBrown]

about half 8.

 

[pbrown7582]

We are allowed out before all comps except captains day. Tee is closed half hr before comp first time but only on the proviso that the geeenkeepers have priority.
Played at 5am regular start at 6 when no comp.
It's only just light at 5am at present.

 

[Wayman]

4am earliest for me in 100holes challenge few years ago

Ruddy hell, i'd still be coming in from a drinking session at that time

Well, once upon a time I would have....

7.20 tee off for me and Mrs K_O_T_T wasn't happy

 

[upsidedown]

5.15 just as it was getting light for 18 by myself then headed off and did 10 mile walk with friends..

 

[Hopey84]

No one is allowed to tee off before 7 at my club to allow the green keepers time to sort the course out.

 

[DAVEYBOY]

Around 10AM (Once) is the earliest I've ever teed of and I'm not joking, I get up early all week for work and don't see the point to do something I enjoy.

Would like to try 7AMish once to see the course in a different light.

 

[Garush34]

was out at 7.45 this morning, i couldn't be bothered getting up really early, unless i was going to be playing somewhere really nice and had to get up to travel.

 

[GB72]

Both my old club and this one have a Famous Grouse event every year (may be a national one). Foursomes format, shotgun start at 6 am then breakfast afterwards and that is the earliest that I have been out. It is actually on Sunday but I decided that it was a bit much this year so giving it a miss.

 

[AmandaJR]

7.30ish is the earliest. Think I'm turning into an old person though as keep waking at 5am so might get up one of these days and hit the course at sun up...
