Morning Person

I am definitely a morning person. I get up early on my own most of the time. I will get up anywhere from 5 to 6:30 in the morning even if I have nothing scheduled to do. However, I do not trust myself totally; if I have to get up early, I will set an alarm. I do practically all of my blogging in the morning and at the very latest in the afternoon. I will rarely write anything after 7:00 PM. When golfing, I prefer an early tee time compared with a later one. I will say this: when I was working, I used to have days when I teed off at the crack of dawn. Those days are over, not so much because I do not want to get up but because you can run into irritating course conditions. Most of the time, the greens have not been cut. There will sometimes be a heavy dew on the greens. The greens get cut when you are playing. You start out with greens being slow and then the speed gets quicker because they are cut and the dew is gone. Another very early tee time problem can be fog. There is nothing worse than not seeing your ball no more than a hundred yards off the tee. In the summer, I like teeing off between 7:30 at the earliest and 9:00 at the latest. There can be exceptions, especially if it is really hot. I do not mind the earlier tee times in the spring and the fall. I know it is chillier and the threat of a frost delay can happen. With the early time, you will still get out closer to your tee time when there is a frost delay. Most days, the temperatures will rise rather quickly. When it gets to 7:00 PM, I usually hit a wall. It is veg time. I watch TV and just chill. I will sometimes read, but I find that can be difficult for me to concentrate in the evening. I wait until I feel sleepy to go to bed. I never have a set time to go to bed. It could be as early as 9:30 and as late as 11:30. Most of the time, it is somewhere in between. I usually get about 6.5 to 7.5 hours of sleep. I have only missed a night’s sleep about 2 or 3 times over the last 50 years. I have been blessed that I can always go to sleep. There is no doubt I am a morning person.
