StrokerAce Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Not sure if you guy caught this or not but they're adding floodlights to the course for the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. Sounds cool...I've never played under lights before. Have you?

tony@CIC Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Wow that's a way to extend playing time. I've skied under lights but never any other sport. Why not - they do it in baseball all the time.

MDGolfHacker Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I;ve hit a ton of balls at night at a driving range under lights...hard to tell how far you hit the ball and I'm sure the nuances on the greens would be difficult to see. Isn't there a course in Myrtle that has 9 holes lit ? MDGolfHacker TSssWhat's In This Lefty's Bag?

Kenny B Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Angel Park GC in Las Vegas has a 9-hole lighted course along with 2 championship courses. It's a different feel under the lights. Why do I remember a tournament that Tiger won in the dark when they turned on headlights to light up the green?? “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfJunkie302 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Always wanted to play at night. Seems like it would also attract non-golfers or golfers who work all day, and therefore increase profit. It would be awesome for a golf marathon -- you would have no excuse to head in early!

HardcoreLooper Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 There's a scruffy little par 3 course near my house that's lit at night. It's lots of fun to play if you don't mind crappy conditions. I'd love to play 18 on a decent course under the lights. I've often wondered why courses don't at least light up 8, 9, 17 and 18. They'd get several more groups out onto the course paying greens fees. What's in the bag: Driver - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Wood (13.5*) - 980F 4 Wood (18*) - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Hybrid (19*) - RBZ 4i - PW - D7 Forged - Recoil 760 ( S ) 52* - CBX 58* - CBX Full Face 2 Putter - Craz-e Bag - 2.5 (Blue) Ball - AVX Instagram - @hardcorelooper Twitter - @meovino Facebook - mike.eovino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ole gray Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Last summer while on vacation in the Destin Florida area, we played a nine hole course that was lit up for night play. It was a par 3 course although a few of the holes were out of reach for my my longest iron so hybrids were required. We had a blast!

STUDque Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Why do I remember a tournament that Tiger won in the dark when they turned on headlights to light up the green??Say no more fam. I think you're thinking of the Monday Night Golf Series put on by Tiger. It was an match play event they had from 1999-2005 and 2012 where Tiger would pick one other golfer to match up with in an unofficial exhibition with a decent purse. I'd love to see an expanded version of this for a full field but I understand why the limitations are too great to keep it going. This was before I started playing golf but I remember catching some of it and was amazed at the ball flight you could see. Shot tracer version zero. ......and if you weren't thinking of this event, at least it still fits the thread topic https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monday_Night_Golf#2001_Battle_at_Bighorn Sent from carrier pigeon using MyGolfSpy In my Pisa, riding on a 3.5+ G410+ EXS 5W King F7 Hy i500 5-GW Equalizer 56/60 Heppler Ketsch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddryan Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 My experiences in that part of the world- either play November thru March, or play at night- too darn hot to play in the day! Back during the first Gulf War, prior to the ground invasion, we were located adjacent to an airfield being constructed by the Bechtel Corporation- and they had a 4 or 5 hole course- you carried a pitching wedge, putter, towel and a turf mat to hit from. You hit from a tee area, then carried the mat to your next shot and so forth. The greens were oil soaked sand, so putting was slow, bumpy, but at least it was golf! think I played 2 or 3 times while waiting for the ground war to start... What's in the bag?

deejaid Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 There was a course here in the Bay Area called Sunol Valley that opened in 1967 with lights. They had old photos in the clubhouse of the course lit up for night play. I played there alot in the mid 2000's and some of the tall light poles were still there, although the lights were gone. Unfortunately, Sunol Valley shut down in 2015. Bummer, it was a nice walking course with two 18 hole tracts.

Reesedw Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Ok not quite the same but several years ago I played a event that was on a 9 hole course that we played twice with 1 round in the afternoon and the next 9 was played after dark with glow Sticks and golf in the dark balls.. amazingly fun..
