I could have early morning any day year round. I typically try to join a twosome or a threesome just so I'm not standing around waiting a lot (especially on the second nine). I did get stuck by myself on Saturday at Tierra del sol (the 2-some must've canceled). That was an 8:30 tee time. But the groups of women in front of me were moving at a good clip and it wasn't horrible (even spectated a couple birdie putts...which I applauded from the fairway)

I think it's a bit unfair for some people to rattle off courses they played that are among the best IN THE WORLD, and then critisize TV for not being at that level. What I know is that I live right next to Palmer (which I love) and the practice facilities that go with it and at least a half dozen other championship courses within 15-20 minute golf cart ride that are all fun to play. If I want to stretch that to 30 minutes, you can throw in 5 more. Even though I still work, I'm golfing 4 times a week. Typically Palmer on Sunday and Tuesday; an after work men's group I found on Thursdays (usually courses below 466A); and I travel to a different course every Saturday. Index is now bouncing between 7.5 - 8. Wouldn't be near that low back in PA. If you make it down, shoot me a message. I love playing early (that 8:30 mentioned above is late for me).

Great to hear! Thank you!
