Ouch!! You've hit a sensitive spot.

Late afternoon and evening during the summer is my absolute #1 preferred time to play. Fewer crowds, beautiful late-day sunshine/sunsets. And from my experience, I don't think the amount of play during that season/time-of-day has any adverse impacts on the courses.
