I will be hosting a best shot glow on Friday nights at 7:30 and tee off at 8 or so. I will be starting at an earlier time when it gets dark early in the evening. I will not be keeping points for this league and their will not be any trophies, just keeping it simple and that should make it alot of fun. Entry is 5 bucks with a 1 dollar going to Parkside for improvements, the rest of the cash will be paid out. I'm donating 25 bucks for a start of an ace pool, I don't know about everyone else but I have never had a night round ace. I also am not putting a date on when this is ending as I am going to try to keep this going year round. I also am going to donate 1 ctp every week that will be after the round.
FYI, you CAN edit your posts....
Now, I know I have said in the past that I'd be interested in playing in a glow league, but certainly not anytime in the recent past.
Between my 3 month old son and my wife who stays home all day with him, I have a hard enough time trying to get out on Sunday mornings to play in Bever's league. Now, try getting even an unhappy okay out of the wife for three or so hours on a Friday evening not to mention god only knows where I may end up when 4 or 5 or 6 (or whenever I can finally sneak out of the building...) rolls around friday evening. I could be as far south as Flossmoor!
So, sorry to say Shawn, but I wouldn't count on me being an infrequent flier. Maybe once every couple months, and certainly not until after the hours of 7 to midnight are no longer my boy's witching hours when it comes to crabbiness.
Otherwise if anyone can make the trek to Bass Pro at Gurnee Mills you can find the 2" sticks in their fishing tackle department.
Be careful, though.... The package you want is the two sticks for $1.95... There are others but they're either tiny sticks or they have a clip built on for attaching to lures and poles.
Sorry I missed your posts. I will be there next week! I'll also post it on both websites.
Sounds great, Shawn, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you. I'll be there! I was thinking about bringing my 14-yr old stepson Danny. He ain't no wimp, but he is innocent. ;p Do you think it would be a problem/uncomfortable situation for some folks?

Wow, we had 7 people for not much notice and did we ever have fun. Saw some great shots, the glowsticks are definately the way to go. Everyone left with a smile on their face so I believe this is going to be a success. Hope to see 20 next week.
This Friday Oct.4rth we will accually be teeing off at 8. I'm posting next week earlier. Please everyone, If you show up late we are going to a charge you with a late fee of $32.50 or maybe a little less that will go into the ace pool. Does that sound fair?
I love playing in the wind, I am going to go to the soccer feild and try to throw a few over 500' before glow. It is so easy to throw far with a wind over 20mph.
Looks like the sky is clearing, see everyone tonight.
Sure it was a little windy, and maybe a few sprinkles that stopped as fast as it started. I was amazed by how low the scores were for a night when the winds were over 40mph at times and as low as 24mph. The lowest score was -7, which is not bad considering the score for best shot that won on Saturday in the day time with not much wind was -8. I am still wondering why Joe, Mirth and Myk are not showing up. You guys wanted me to start this up and so I have. It is way to much fun and I encourage everyong to make it next Friday, we will be starting earlier next week at 7:30. If you sign up after 7:20 a late few will be applied. So please sign up between 6:15-7:20.
This week is the last week of starting at 7, next week we are starting at 6 so show up at least 1/2 hour prior to get set up for glow. It's hellafun for all. Jim please note this change so that you don't have to change it again on the web site.
The Steady Ed event cleaned me out of glowsticks so If anyone has any extra please bring them. I ordered more but they will not arrive until Monday. Ace pot is at 80 bucks right now and the course is still at short. I'm expecting someone to get an ace tomorrow.
Cool, I can reimburse you next week. I ordered 300 more but they did not come today. O well...
We are going to start again on February 21st for 10weeks until April 25th.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, This Friday should have a HUGE turnout. The ace pool is at $95 right now. I want everyone to tell everyone to show up this Friday as we will be having extra CTP's and a big ace pot.
Yes, it is going to be real informal. Word of mouth like, between friends, pick up game. Everyone from the club is invited. We will discuss what to do with the ace pool from last fall as we are not going to be running one. This has to do with the protcol of the university. We are meeting at 6.
I have to work this Friday night and Paul can't make it. If you guys still want to play go ahead, ace pot is still there. See you guys Saturday at Bevier.
We should play this Friday, ace pot is 126...still. Sorry for missing a bunch of weeks...I hate working 2nd shift on Fridays.
So if anyone is interested, bring the glow sticks or glow plastic and play a round of random draw best shot with the boys. All money is paid out.
8 would be a good time to tee off.
Congrats goes out to Pat for aceing #16 short to night for $138. I'm hoping that he uses the cash for entry fees for events this summer. He's got Game...look out Advanced Masters.
We are now meeting at 8:30 and starting at about 8:45ish.. Due to the glowing thing in the sky. It should be getting slightly dark by the second or third hole...
Ace pool is HUGE...$23+
Sticks and tape are available if you have no glow discs.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to get out there tonight. Friends from out of town snuck in and I'm in charge of dinner tongith.
Sorry man, I had friends from the Fozen North come in last week. Friday was their last night in town, so we went out and partayed a bit before he had to go home. Next week I will be there, I promise!!
Well if you wanted to bring whatever you have left to eagues on Sunday, provided you can attend ofcourse. i would like to take a look :-)
I'll be there around 6:30 and I better bring cash because it sounds like I'll be buying a few!
That was a blast! I can't wait to see the number of players grow!
Any idea what time we are playing this week?
Is the estimated finish time around 11 again?
If this weather keeps up I expect to see anyone out there! It's like a monsoon at times!

I'm really struggling here :-)
Rock on! Information I could've used about 20 mintues ago :-) Well, now I know and knowing is half the battle!
Yeah that was a lot of fun Friday night. I really enjoy playing Glo. Kyle and I thought about playing last night but the wind was so stinking bad I just didn't feel like losing any discs. Can't wait til we can play earlier. Playing til 11 is kinda brutal after a long day of work.
Cool it's 6 next week not 5:45. Kyle that'll give you a little more time to get there.
AHH! Figures I won't be able to make it tonight. Someone will probably hit their ace tonight. Good luck guys.
What about the friday after Thanksgiving we still having league? I hope so b/c a friend from out of town will be here and he's never played glow before :-)
That was a lot of fun, I know I'll be back this Friday.
Thanks for organizing and running this.
That would depend on how many people show up.
Crap, guess I'm gonna have to pay my $32.50 late fee in advance for next week. I don't get out of work until 5:30-5:45 and it's about a 15 min drive to UWP.
I still have about 150 glow sticks at home, I'll grab a bag on my way tonight.
Are you still planning to start this up again this week?
Anyone plan on playing this Friday night? Should change the start time if we want it to be dark. 8:00 ok?
nice going Pat!!
I'd say something but I can't find my teeth....
