Key Points

Waking up early to play golf can be exhausting, but it leaves you with the rest of the day to enjoy or even squeeze in a few more holes.
Starting golf with blades or smaller club heads can improve your accuracy and ball striking better than game improvement irons.
The LPGA has incredibly talented golfers who deserve more coverage and equitable representation in sports media.
