I can say that I've played night golf now. Don't know that I'll play it again, but..... it was interesting.

I took the advice from a couple of guys here about those "glow-in-the-dark" balls being tough on big head drivers, and used my back up set. Glad I did. There were two guys that busted their drivers wide open that night.

I heard that about the drivers as well but didn't have any issues with mine. There are some guys I play with that have some pretty high swing speed numbers and they didn't have issues either. I have actually never heard of it in my area. That is some really bad luck if two guys in your one outing had those kinds of problems. I probably didn't swing 60% of what I normally do though because I didn't want to lose the ball.

The biggest issues I had was knocking the glow stick out of the ball with my driver. That will kill some ball flight in a hurry!

There were several balls on the course the next morning without glow sticks in them.

I was careful not to lose any balls either. I hated to pay 80.00, lose the balls I had and not get to, at least, finish the round.

    • I am listening to 23rd Street.  24 hours a day of cars, trucks, planes, sirens, and neighbors who start lawn mowers at 6:30am. I try to drown it out with 7,600 WAVE music files on a huge USB drive.  Mostly 1950's through 1990's music.
    • Thanks! Evolvr, for sure. My indoors setup is pretty close to ready. I want to add a few more lights as it's a pretty dark place to begin with (old barn). Plan to use my iPhone 14 Pro, 720p 240 FPS. I think I got a tripod somewhere, but I nail everything down so I'll make a small box I can just plop the phone into. That way I know it's always in the same spot and level. How does the setup look in terms of angles and stuff.  I saw that topic and bookmarked it for later. A technique where you want the head to move forward and down? I've been doing that for twenty years! (not on purpose) 😛 Looks fun, I'll certainly try it out. £7000. That's certainly "down the line". What would be a good price? Thanks. I'll probably hold off until at least winter comes and see where we're living at that point. For the next six months I'll combine indoor practice with the range, which helps.
