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:

• 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.

• 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.

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 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.

Safety and being prepared is a necessity of life.  Freak storms or other emergencies can appear out of no where.  Everyone has always been told to have matches, candles, and a flashlight in case of emergency.  But the problem with that is the fact that there could be a gas leak.  In a modern household you usually have a natural gas oven, a propane grill, and an automobile that all use highly flammable fuel.  Lighting a match could be a foolish thing to do if you haven’t investigated the area yet.  To first check if the area is safe use a Glow Stick.  They create no heat, have no flame, are waterproof (key if raining) and produce a lot of light.

Why not use flashlights or flares you ask? Simply put because both of these options emit either a spark or heat to generate their light, and since you don’t know if a gas line has been leaking or if its raining out this might not be the best of options.

Safety glow sticks are designed to be in storage for long periods of time while still retaining their ability to glow bright for hours. Easily used as signal lights, emergency lighting, or simply to keep the kids from getting too worried.

Please note that safety glow sticks are DIFFERENTLY FORMULATED from novelty glow sticks. They are made of higher quality chemicals to enhance not only the strength of the light but also storage ability and strength of the plastics.

And Safety sticks are also great for road control, especially with our Glow Cone accessory that easily attaches to standard orange safety cones.
