304.0. "Night golf...!" by MSEE::KELLEY (on_in_regulation, GRAPHITE) Mon Jun 27 1988 10:59

    
    	I played in my first night tourney on Friday night. It was
    	GREAT. We got started about 9:30, with all those glow balls
    	glowing. We played on a short par three course which made it
    	a little easier than if it had been a long course, the thing
    	that added to the fun was that only a couple people had played
    	the course before. Shots were way over on some holes, etc...
    	It was truely a fun time...!
    
    	Has anybody else played night golf before...?

304.1	Where?	MILVAX::FENTON		`Mon Jun 27 1988 13:34`	5
	Where's this? Interested, John
304.2	Garrisons	MSEE::KELLEY	on_in_regulation, GRAPHITE	`Mon Jun 27 1988 14:23`	7
	We played at Garrisons in Haverhill. It is not something that they do on a regular basis. One of the leagues here at Salem set it up, but I think somebody said that Garrisons was thinking about doing it on a regular basis... Gene
304.3	Bugs = more plentiful than straight hits !	PLANET::NEIL	Peter C.	`Mon Jun 27 1988 16:16`	7
	re .0 Gee, I've hit buckets there after the sun had gone down. How were the bugs ?!?! :-) Peter
304.4	No Bugs...	MSEE::KELLEY	on_in_regulation, GRAPHITE	`Tue Jun 28 1988 08:44`	6
	I didn't notice any bugs and I didn't hear anybody complain about them. We all put on bus spray before we went out, but we all know what good that does... Gene
304.5	Here kitty kitty	SIETTG::REGO		`Tue Jun 28 1988 10:33`	4
	I wasn't bothered by the bugs at all! But I did worry about the SKUNKS! You never know whats around the next green at 10:30 at night.
304.6	DAYGLOW BALLS ARE BACK	GRANPA::KVENEZIO		`Tue Jun 28 1988 17:58`	3
	I'm thinking of organizing a tourney in the Washington D.C. area. Great to see a notes file on night golf. It will probably be for charity. Any interest from the MAA notes readers or other DEC Areas.
304.7	shoot the lights out	VLNVAX::LEVESQUE	The Dukes a DINK!	`Wed Jun 29 1988 17:05`	10
	I used to play golf by moon light all summer long during high school. I would play from 10 to 2 or 3 am on weekends. I knew the course by heart and very rarely lost any balls. I can probably say my best golf was played at night. I generally went right at the pins and never was held up, which bothers me more than anything. BAL par or better nothing more
304.8	A Fun Night!	RUBY::OPERJR		`Thu Jun 30 1988 04:57`	15
	I played in a night tournament this year in Gardner, and it was fun. We played scramble format, so it was a little easier than if we had played our own ball. I had a great time, no bugs and I hit the ball well. What did you think of that ball, it sounds weird when you hit it. One of the players I was playing with, knocked the stick right out of the ball, need less to say he lost it. It attracted alot of people so they are going to make it an annual event. I found the hardest part of it was putting, it is hard to putt by a flashlight, and on dew soaked greens, but it didn't matter, we had alot of fun. Jim
