The Masters

I would like to make a suggestin for the next version of PGA 10. The live weather is a great addition to the game. I would like to have an option of playing night golf. I have been to a few courses that have these from time to time. The fairways and greens could be outlines with a glow such as lightsitick or string lights. The balls could glow as they use in real night golf. The stick a small glow stick into a clear ball to make it visable in the dark. Just a suggestion, but would ge a great addition to the game.

Here are some details and links to sites with other info. What do you think??

Players - Light up the players with one 22 inch glow necklace each so that they can be seen from any direction. You can even use different glow necklace colors to identify different night golf teams. Plus you might also want to provide each night golf player with one 6 inch glow stick so that they can easily find clubs and mark scores.

Golf Carts - Mark your golf cart with 22 inch glowing necklaces and 6 inch glow sticks to make sure that the group behind doesn't hit into the group ahead.
You can also add some extra fun to your night golf tournament by holding a competition to see which team can light up their golf cart with the craziest glow design.

Tee Box - Mark the tee box with either 6 inch glow sticks or 4 inch glow sticks with stands. Place one glow stick on each side of the tee box. The 4 inch glow stick with stand has little spikes in the stand that makes it easy to insert into the ground and to stay in place.

Fairways - Light up the fairways like an airstripe at night with 6 inch glow sticks. For best results place the 6 inch glow sticks at least every 50 to 100 yards on each side of the fairway. That way you can clearly see where to drive the glow in the dark golf ball.

Flags - The flags should be marked with either one 12 inch glow stick or two 6 inch glow sticks tied together so that players can easily see their traget from great distances. You can quickly attached the glow sticks to the flag using masking tape.

Holes - GlowProducts.comT carries a bendabled glow stick called the 'Twister' that is great for marking holes. Inside the Twister there is a piece of metal which allows it to be shaped to hug the inside of the hole and to stay in place when the flag moves in and out. Plus it makes a cool putting target too!

Hazards - If you are using green 6 inch glow sticks for fairways, tee boxes and greens then use yellow to mark the hazards. Typically for small hazards one 6 inch glow stick at the end of the hazard is adequate. However it is best to have to hazards clearly marked with glow sticks, because the last thing you want is for your glow in the dark golf ball to end up in a sandtrap that you couldn't see.

Golf Ball - Finally the most important part of the your night golf tournament; the glowing in the dark golf balls. Each player requires on glow in the dark golf ball and one 'Mammoth' mini glow stick to make the ball glow. It is also a good idea to buy some extra glowing night golf balls just in case some players lose their ball. Many tournament operators buy extra 'Mammoth' mini glow sticks and provide each player with an extra stick so that they can re-use their night golf ball at a later time.

Who wants to play golf in the dark or use glow sticks for a video game. If I want to make it harder to see the game, I will close my eyes.

It got dark in the 2005 version if you played at night. Sun would set, rise, etc if you played during those times. Obviously it wasn't pitch black, but, it was dark (you could still make out the course just fine.

I remember that. Edgewood looked pretty sweet at night.

I hope I never see the game with glow sticks. Glow sticks were annoying in the late 90s at clubs. Seeing it in the game will give me some bad flashbacks...lol
