I've always wanted to, but have never seen any posted. Sounds like a lot of fun!

Played 9 holes of it for charity. Pitch Black, given a torch and the balls have a tiny glow stick, was a nightmare as
1) it was the 2nd time i'd played the course
2) i lost the torch

Was great fun though

The tactic i had was to lie the torch between my legs (after seeing where i need to go) to line up the club and hit it in hopefully the right direction

As someone already mentioned always align glow stick parallel to club face, my cousin and his club glowed for several holes after teaching us how not to do it. Also don't use driver,fairways or hybrids as the globalls are so hard they will shatter or dent the face of such clubs. We try to play at least once a year and it is great fun, bring a light that you can hang on the pin if it is really dark. My cousin beat us all with just a seven iron, it can be hard to find the fairway in the dark it you hit it long, will try the same myself this summers round.

A course near me has a glowball tournament twice a year and its a blast. The course is usually packed and most people are just out there drinking and having a good time. Well worth the money to experience it.

We have a lighted par 3 course in town that I have done several times, and CL and I finished up in the dead of night at 9:15pm the other day with no lights. Interestingly enough, neither one of us lost a ball and we both got pars on the 18th hole.
Wasn't that course featured in an article recently? I want to saw it was a golf mag of some sort but it may have just been in the paper.

that's because all CL does is hit fairways and greens
That's true, but how did I do that? hahaha

I honestly don't know SW. Sorry.

I had to put my pondering cap on but I got it figured out. It was in the "fun" issue of golf digest a few month back. Knights Golf center over in Apex, if that's the same course you were referring to.

Now go grab chunky and his new irons and go play tonight

Have never done this, but sounds like it would be a blast. I am playing a Par 3 course tomorrow with my son, and I recall them having lights on the holes, will have to ask them about it.

One of my neighboring school districts did this every year as a fundraiser, but the course has since been shut down. They used glow balls and glow sticks to illuminate FW/greens/tee boxes. It always looked cool and the year I was gonna play they couldn't do it!
