Daylight Savings time!


revkev

Recommended Posts

Daylight savings time equals more golf for me. I basically have three time slots that I might fit a round into - Tuesday afternoon, Friday or Sunday afternoon. Two of those three slots are eliminated when the clocks fall back.

 

Tomorrow they open back up and I have a 258 time to celebrate with. It will be light until 730 here tomorrow evening.

 

I love Daylight Savings time! How about you?

I'm an early riser so it's been nice to have the sun coming up when I get out of bed.  It's always a bummer when it switches for me but I will appreciate the longer nights...

Growing up in W MI, then living a while in MN & now SC, I’ve always enjoyed DST. Just used to it I suppose. Love the late sunsets.

I'd rather not have it.  I prefer my early morning rounds and then having the rest of the day to get stuff done.

As a dad of a toddler, this is virtually the only way I can get in 18 on the weekends.  Would be nice if I could tee off at 5am in the summer and be home before 930am

I love it- Love it I tell ya!

In Scotland we can tee off from 04.30am and play up till 11.20PM ish by May/June

 

Tee-ing off at 9pm and getting a full 18 in is just magical, likewise a 4.30/5am tee off is beautiful, deadly quiet, dew on the ground, birds singing and not a soul to be seen on the course.....

I don't do the 4.30am starts much these days but a 7.30 is also fantastic

Congress HAS to approve a State changing to DST year round.  WA State has a proposal to do this, and if approved by Congress, would go into effect this November.

I've heard that if Congress doesn't approve it, WA State may go to Mountain Standard Time, which is the same result.

I’m SO excited! I can go on the road for work, bring my clubs, and get a round in almost every day!!!! I can’t play much when I get home since I’m gone so much, so this is when i get my rounds in!!!! Woo-hoo! Plus, when it’s 105* heat index, I need the later rounds!

This will probably never happen, because the US Congress has to approve it, and currently, or at least the last I heard, it can't even get out of committee in the Senate, and the rest of the country could really care less about what Florida wants.  Especially something this low on the priority list.

since the only time my Tuesday golf group meets is during daylight savings time, I wish it was all year round honestly, because I am very much looking forward to playing with the boys again this coming Tuesday all through the end of September.

This is correct - Florida, among other states, has already passed a petition to congress asking for permission to remain on DST.

I knew there would be some opposed to the change and I understand why. It’s the same reason that I’m for it - more golf! It’s very hard for me to play during ST because of my work schedule - like GSwag I have a Tuesday afternoon group that I play with. We start in April and go to late October. (The old DST parameters)

Well I play at 3 today to celebrate. Sorry to the guys who don’t like the change. I think it’s only a matter of time until this becomes permanent because everyone agrees that the back and forth is NG and more prefer the DST.

Absolutely with you on this.  Fitting more time in on the course after work is possible again.  I love DST and hope it may be changed to year round thing.

With most everyone else on this.  The only downfall for me currently, is that with 3 kids age 4 and under - putting them to bed can be difficult with that much light still out.  Also, many of my rounds are playing in morning weekend rounds.  I can see that changing in the next 3 - 4 years, but I try to help my wife all that I can while the kids are a bit more..... "rambunctious"

I don’t think it’s healthy to change the time - honestly - it’s crazy not to pick one and stick to it. DST would get my vote.

I very much understand the issue for homes with toddlers. I’ve been there and done that. But if the time wasn’t changed the amount of Daylight would creep up slowly and the problem wouldn’t be nearly as significant

I've got a toddler and a 7-yr old girl. I vote DST all the way. Standard time all year would be a marginal difference - besides, blackout curtains are a thing for a reason 😉
