There's this nighttime tournament out in September at one of the courses I play (I think they use glow in the dark balls and flashlights...)

So that got me thinking of night time golf...I remember seeing a piece in Golf Magazine or Digest of a course in China that basically had Stadium lighting...which is interesting as hell. You can basically golf all night.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with that or come across a course with those type of capabilities and if anyone's played a course like that

A buddy of mine keeps saying there's a course in San Diego you can play at night

There are quite a few courses out here at are lighted for night play. Personally I don't find it enjoying. I lose too many balls and everything is just wet. Not like morning wet because you can see stuff. Night wet is no fun.

One of the local courses, Jones Creek, had a glow-ball tourney that I played in a few years ago.

It was okay....the glow ball distance was at least a club shorter...if not more than normal.....spin wasn't good either.

As stated before...the moisture level was way high...making it a slippery affair (it's a hilly course)...I busted my rump walking down from the cart path to hit my second shot on number ten.

Scores were way up...but then again so was the "Bud Light" consumption...maybe related.

Glad I did it once...not something that I'm eager to do again. I can't stress how easy it is to slip and fall...uneven terrain, etc. You'll be lucky not to roll an ankle or twist a knee.

I played lighted 9-hole courses in CA & SC. If you want to play at night try the Artic Open in Iceland. Tee off time is midnight in the land with no setting sun in summer time.

    • You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.
    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
