There is nothing in the world more invigorating than an early morning round of golf, teeing off as the very first flight and having the golf course all to yourself.
Your body might at first feel a little stiff, but after a few deep breaths of the crisp morning air and the smell of the moist grass filling your mind with pleasant thoughts of the many birdies to come, you are ready to go.
The sun is just beginning to rise on the distant horizon, the orange shimmering ball of fire welcoming you to the early morning adventure, rays of light bringing warmth and good will to your game.
The first drive is always a bit of a gamble as you are not feeling real confident swinging the club. Just take back the club slowly, make an easy swing and more often than not the ball will fly pretty straight, if not right down the middle of the fairway.
