How about providing the date? I know it's glow, but please don't keep everyone in the dark.

[mirth]

date? there's a date for this thing??

[mirth]

Glow necklaces for illuminating the baskets have been ordered! There will be two necklaces per basket, one in the top assembly & one in the basket.

[Mukey]

Concrete tees all 3 rounds or some alternates?

[mirth]

concretes all 3 rounds as the alternates would be difficult for people to locate in the dark, especially folks who don't play bevier often.

[Mukey]

Cool. That gives me more ammo to convince my friend that hasn't played a tourney all year.

Also, props on how you're lighting the baskets. Gary Lewis did that the first year I played Glow and it had a very Tron-like effect which I like a LOT better than regular white lights on the baskets.

(jeez my spelling is horrible)   

[mirth]

last year I hung a couple regular size glowsticks on the baskets on the top assembly. that worked pretty well too.

Mirth,

   Will be be playing A1,2,3, B1,2,3 & C1,2,3?

[mirth]

All letter holes will be the "2" tees.

[CEValkyrie]

All letter holes will be the "2" tees.

Cool. Gonna get some practice in today.

[stpitner]

which one is "2" for hole C?  Is that the one where it is straight towards the basket?  I don't think it's the one where you walk to it by turning left after B and then the shot is long with a hook left.  I can't remember where the other alternate tee is at.

Thinking about playing this... never played glow before though.  I also need to find a partner!

[CEValkyrie]

C2 is between the 2 pine trees. Walk out of the woods and turn a little to the right.

[mirth]

You don't necessarily need to find a partner... will try to accomidate all who want to play, if that means pairing up w/someone who also is partnerless or maybe midwest.

Mirth,
   Do you want #9 in the long position?

Also, Is there a rule about using flashlights? I got a call today asking if flashlight usage would be allowed. I agreed with the caller that using a flashlight to look at holes and flash them on baskets should not be allowed.

[DiscGolfSchodt]

Looking forward to tomorrow for some glow golf.I agree no flash lights to find flight paths or baskets only for walking in the woods.
