If anyone is interested, we started playing glow rounds on Fridays at Parkside a couple of weeks ago.
We generally tee-off about 6:30. As it starts to stay light out a little longer we'll move the times to later. Lately we've only had about 4 people show up, so we'd love to have more.
It's a best-shot doubles round. Random draw. $5 plus $1 optional Ace Pool. Winners take all. When we have a larger group, second place usually get their money back and first place takes the rest.
If anyone has any questions either PM or post.
Thanks.
Hey Serg, I going to be in town for St. Patty's day and will be around till Saturday night. I'll make it to glow this Friday. This morning I sprained my throwing hand thumb. Not sure how hard I can grip a disc, but I'm sure I can putt....so best shot sound good.
If anyone wants to get together for livations...I'll be at JJ's, over by Dandee's liquer. Or call me on my cell 704-604-3553.
***CALLING ALL NIGHT GOLFERS*** We will have the legendary "Shawn" in attendance this Friday, March 19 at Parkside. Unsure when he will make the next stop in wonderful Wisconsin. You won't want to miss out on what Carolina has done to this man (other than sprain his thumb). Tee-off between 6:30 - 6:45.
:D your a trip Serg, I'll be around for a while. I'm helping Craig with a bunch of signs and am starting back with United in a few weeks. Got to play with the sore thumb today and met up with Tim D. My thumb is really sore, not getting any grip... good thing I can putt.
I'm pretty sure Jojo is going, but I know I'll be there. Have to run right after work, so I may be a minute or two late.
Myk: We'll make sure we wait.
Shawn: Dave said he seen you out there today. Thanks for bringing the snow with you!
If I can get out of work on time for a change I should be there.
I'll be there!
Going to try to make it tonight myself. I have a nasty cold, though, so we'll see how I am feeling by the end of the day. Will people have extra sticks that I or someone else can buy from them? I hope? I'm all out.
Jim, if I don't get out to play, I will give the discs I have to Kyle so you can get them (finally).
Steve, hope you feel better.
What discs? :blink:
I"ll have a few extra sticks.
Personally, I use a 3 Volt Lithium battery and LED lights or those lights for night fishing. I may have a couple extra if people would need to borrow them.
What a fun time! Jojo's putting was laser-like and so accurate! Serg was hot, and it is always so good to see my other Wisconsin friends! Shawn's putting actually improved....sickening.
Just a few questions:
I doubt I can make it out every Friday, but i'd like to give a glow round a try (never played a glow round) Do you run this get together every Friday? What time Approx. ?
Also, where can I get thoes little lights? I've seen them on ebay and disc golf sites but never would go to the trouble to actually order one. Any local store that would carry a similar "caliber" light? (if there is such a thing)
Bass Pro has them. Look for the mini snap stix and the battery powered LED lights in Fishing, they're bobber lights.
You can also find them at Wal-Mart in the fishing lures section.
Here is a picture of what I use...
Or you can show up at Parkside and I'm sure that someone will have some glow sticks. I have about 400 or so... http://www.extremeglow.com/ (http://www.extremeglow.com/) is the site that I order from. The time changes all the time on Fridays. It is best to get there right before dark as we tee off about 15-30 minutes after sunset.
did you guys play last night?

Yes, we played last night. Only 4 guys showed up...beautiful night for a round.
Dr. Dye is right; I usually buy my lights at Wal Mart or Dick's Sporting Goods (don't know if there is one in Illinois). Don't have any more glow sticks. The last time I got them was from a tournament.
I think we may start moving the times to a little later. It's obviously staying light out longer. I think last night we teed up a little after 7:00.
Glow rounds TONITE! We'll be meeting again around 6:30, but I think we'll be starting a little later...it's staying light later.
Hope to see some more of you guys here.
Unfortunately, I'll be in Chicago with Mirth and some friends watching one of the best bands in the world play at the Vic. Sorry, but I never miss these guys when the come around town.

Fri, Apr 2, 2004 Sector 9/ Realized Intention $18.50 18+ 8:00pm General Adm.
I.D Required
Yep, Jon's right. It's Sound Tribe Sector 9 with Realized Intention (a DJ group). Should be a good show. We're taping it, so if anyone wants a copy, they'll have to talk to Mirth.
I am not going to be able to attend the sound tribe sector 9 show, so I will try my best to get out to night leagues!!! I should be able to make it. ;)
Because of Daylight Savings, glow rounds will be starting between 7:30 and 8:00 (probably closer to 8:00).

Very funny... had to pass that link on to friends
Anyone have any extra glow sticks that you're selling tonight?
If anyone is interested in picking up glow sticks, I found this site that I bought 100 1.5" GREEN sticks for $16. Follow this LINK. (http://www.illuminationz.com/product_view.asp?prod_id=3)
You can choose your color of stick, which you can't at a number of other places.
If people need some I'd be willing to sell some at the rounds.
Parkside Glow Rounds...TONIGHT (Providing rain stays away)
Starting times have been moved between 8:30 and 9:00. Depends on how much "sunlight" there is left.
Are there gonna be any more glow rounds in the future?
Sure, every Friday at just about dark.
Friday Glow Disc is one of the few things I miss.
I plan on playing glow at Token soon though.
I hear ya there Pat. I guess there's a group of guys who play glow here but after seeing many snakes, including a 5 1/2' long rattlesnake a couple weeks ago, and having that pond which I'm sure is home to many a man eating creature, I'll hold off on the glow rounds thanks...maybe if I ever get back up there again I'll play with ya guys.
QuoteAre there gonna be any more glow rounds in the future?
Pat's right....Every Friday night. We meet in the parking lot about 8:30 and start about 9:00. It's been getting darker earlier, so you might want to stop by sooner. If you don't come with glow sticks, someone usually has a few extra for sale.

where can u buy the glow sticks?
You can buy glow sticks:
1. In sporting goods stores, fishing dept.
2. E-bay.
3. On line stores. Just type glow sticks in the search.
4. Someone there will part with some.
I prefer buying on line. I can get the green 1 1/2 inch sticks for about 10 cents each. If I buy in quantity, like 250.
Green seem to be the easiest to see. Red and yellow are not bad. Stay away from blue and purple.
do u guys play for money or just play around?
$$$$ ;)
They play a round for money. $5, unless it has changed.
Quotedo u guys play for money or just play around?
$5 plus optional $1 Ace Pool.
It's random draw doubles. First place takes the whole pot. I think in the past, if there's more than six teams, second place gets their $5 back.
Someone always has extra sticks. I just stocked up so I'd be happy to sell some.
i just bought some mini glow sticks.. after leagues sunday me and eddie went to parkside and saw the glow sticks in the basket.. it was cool.. so i think we might go friday

Just so you don't get your hopes up...we don't always have glow sticks on the baskets. It can get kind of expensive. However, we usually carry a couple of tap lights that are put on top of the basket when we throw upshots or when we're putting.
One of the guys that plays regularly just bought some magnetic strobe lights. You can what I'm talking about HERE. (http://www.illuminationz.com/product_view.asp?prod_id=12) He had these on every basket, beside the glow stick.
Well, hope to see you out there. Last week Friday a new "glow" course record was set at -15. It was easier to figure out which holes they got par rather than all the birdies.
no way.... 15 down...wow. :D
Quoteno way.... 15 down...wow. :D
Oh...did I conveniently forget to mention who threw -15? 8)
Shawn F. and Paul C. (both DISContinuum members)
Gee big surprise there! Who let those two be on the same team anyway? :-)
still on for tommorrow?

Paul C. or Paul K? (Kuffel)
Paul C, I usually call him tall Paul.
Supersoft....Ever friday.
Paul Clark, I believe is his name. Shawn paid his membership early this year... springtime, I think.

Mirth is correct...as well as Dr. Dye.
We call him Tall Paul because he's taller than Paul Kuffel :D
