Illuminating a Night Golf Green

0

Posted by Erin on June 25, 2008 at 6:20 pm

In the previous post we discussed how to dress a fairway for Night Golf. Here we are now going to address the green. Here special attention has to be placed on outlining the edges of the green so the golfer know where the nice low grass ends and the rough grass begins. To do this we begin by outlining the green in 6″ premium glow sticks laid on the border.

Now some are going to remember in my previous article that I steered you away from simply laying down glow. The difference here is that the grass is cut low on the inside of the green thereby removing the possibility of the glow being hidden by the grass. Secondly you’re not going to put up any erect glow sticks since they could deflect a well placed wedge shot. And lastly it looks amazing to have the entire green outlined in these sticks, almost calling the golfer to it.

As for the cup itself you are going to want to use one of our Deluxe Glow Bracelets to put in the whole. While taking up almost no space itself, it releases a huge amount of glow that seems to just emanate from the whole calling the ball in.

The pin can be dressed in several different manners. You can attach several glow necklaces to it, LED necklaces, or our newest item the lumi-ton! Whats great about the lumi-ton is that you can choose a color setting or have it rotate through the colors, drawing even more attention to it.

When you’re done the green should look something like this:

All the suggestions above work best with the Night Flyer CL golf ball. See it in action once and you’ll never forget it!

Outline a Night Golf fairway

Okay, you know that Night Golf is the new hit thing. You’ve even already gone out and bought your Night Flyer Constant Light golf balls. That way the golfer can hit a solid real golf ball of light and always find it.

But now you’re wondering how they’ll see the rest of the course. Do you have to buy large amounts of flood lights? NO! Do you have to get tons of tiki torches to illuminate the area? NO!, besides being unsafe it simply isn’t practical to have open flames every where that need to be refilled with oil.

Instead use safe, bright, and efficient GLOWING area markers from Night Flyer Golf. Follow these tips and you’ll have an amazing looking course for night golf: 10953 detail Outline a Night Golf fairway

Begin by outlining the fairway with Green area marker glow sticks, these are 10″ sticks that come with ground spikes for this specific purpose. Using normal glow sticks and having them simply lay in the ground is not as good since the low lying grass will obstruct the view and you are only getting a side profile instead of 10″ standing straight up.

Space the glow sticks about every 10-20 yards, remember the closer together they are the more uniform your fairway will look. 10952 thumb Outline a Night Golf fairway

Mark water hazards with Blue area markers to alert the golfer where to avoid. Here it is important to do the entire perimeter of the pond, or both sides of a creek. The reason is that you want the golfer to know where all the edges of the water are, where they have to hit the ball to avoid it, and where its safe to traverse.

10954 thumb Outline a Night Golf fairway If it is a creek or river that you’re identifying then you should also mark where the bridge or walkway is that they’re going to want to use. For this use White area markers on both ends of the walkway / bridge 10951 thumb Outline a Night Golf fairway to guide the golfers to continue golfing.

Next you’re going to want to outline all sand traps and hazards with Red area markers. This striking distinction will alert all golfers where to avoid placing their shot.

Finally you should ouline the green with Green 6″ glow sticks as well, almost as landing strip for where the golfer wants to end up.

When you’re finished your fairway should look something like this photo below. In our next post we’ll discuss how to outfit a green to highlight the whole, and impress the golfer.

LED Lightup Jewelry

0

Posted by Erin on June 24, 2008 at 4:43 pm

Children love to dress up and pretend (the benefits of which can be read about here), sometimes even taking some of their Mom’s jewelry or make up to help their imaginations. This is great, except for the fact that sometimes you don’t want them playing with your heirloom ring or even your own costume jewelry because it could hurt them.

What if you could give them light-up jewelry that not only lets them play pretend, but also is a cool accessory for just going out with the other kids? Well now you can!

Windy City Novelties, Inc. has tons of great LED light up items in the form of rings, necklaces, bracelets, hair pins and much much more. Its always amazing to me when I see the local neighborhood children running around at night with our light up jewelry adorned everywhere.

And don’t think these are just for little kids. Teens and even college-aged love light-up jewelry too for parties, to the club, or even just when its the girls going out!
