I commend you for your patience and consideration throughout this dialogue. You are the adult in the room. I'll bet there is not a PAR golfer or a below PAR shooter in the bunch and certainly no one whose income depends on golf. I would also bet there a lot more disruptive actors on the course (including some who have commented here) than someone being considerate of the golfers who makes every effort not to be seen or heard while making beautiful pictures for us all to enjoy when they are posted. That said, I think the smart move is to do a ride along being respectful of golf course rules (golf cart path, 90 degree rule, avoiding wet areas, and keeping appropriate distance from greens, etc), something many of the golfers themselves ignore. And I would also talk to the Golf Pro at the respective courses and let them know when you are going to do this. Unless there is a reason to do early morning, I'd suggest afternoon when the numbers are much less than in the morning wave. That way, you can get the pictures you want w/o "interfering" with people playing. Lastly, while in many instances "forgiveness is easier than permission" in this case I suggest "permission" is the better choice. Just talk to the PRO. I bet you can get permission and schedule a T Time that will meet both your needs and avoid the "keep off the course" . Enough said
