Why do I play better golf in the afternoon / evening time?

I am in the camp of you have been moving all day and are looser.
Maybe do some stretching before going to the course and then a little more once you get there?

Stretching makes a big difference for me, especially in the morning.
 
For me playing early means my chips/pitches are more elevated than in afternoon when the course is drier less mildew around collars. And my bump and run is better than my chips/pitches. eliminates texas wedge early too.
 
I like the mornings. I def have more energy than when I go out late in the day!
I am stiff like the Tin man these days so as long as its 20+ min after I get up I am good to go as long as I stretch out before hitting.
Getting old sucks!

My game is MUCH better with food in my stomach about a hour to a hour and a half before I tee off. When rounds are early I find this harder to pull off since I do not like eating super early. Might not be just the time, it could be caloric intake that makes the difference.
