Have you ever wanted to swing your clubs at one of your favorite golf vacation destination only to
back out because of the scorching heat from the sun? Did you ever wish it was a
bit darker so you can comfortably move from one hole to another without much
sweat? Here’s good news! While most golf areas operate during the day, some
destinations now feature night golf tournaments.
Night golf utilizes the same standard golf rules
and procedures, but typically use lighted golf balls and glow-in-the-dark
sticks to mark pins. This way, equipment and accessories remain visible
throughout the game. Players use golf balls that are the same weight as regular
ones but these types don’t go quite as far.
Night golf is a lot of fun because players can actually see
the lighted ball as it take off, unlike regular daytime golf sessions when
balls tend to disappear because they blend with the sky. With lighted balls,
players and spectators get to see when the ball actually reaches its
destination. This type of game is also known to improve focus – a vital
characteristic required of every golfer.
If you are planning your next golf vacation and would rather stay out of the glaring sun,
consider a night golf escapade. Invite your family and friends for a fun game
under a canopy of stars.
