GLOW LEAGUE

[CEValkyrie]

Just trying to get some input on starting a glow league this summer. It's never too early to plan & maybe we as a group can get this rolling instead of having Jim work his a@# off. Is there anyone interested in playing in a singles glow league? If we have enough interest-- 1. What time & day should we play? 2. What should be the format? 3. What should be the entry fee. Just trying to get some input.

Hmm... should payouts maybe be like 70/20 & 10 to the club for putting it on? Who would provide glowsticks & what would the additional cost be?



Schedule sounds good to me...

What about using Parkside? I know its a little further to go, but there will be way less light to have to deal with than @ Bevier.

If I remember correctly. Fairfield closes @ dusk... Can anyone confirm this?



As far as buying the 2" glowsticks... I'd need Buttercup to confirm this, but I'm almost certain that they can be mailordered for about $25 before shipping. I don't know this for sure, tho.



Lately, I've been buying the 2" stix from Bass Pro, of all places... Seems like the stix are popular for fishing lures. Who'da known?

[mirth]

Umm... they were in the tackle section, about 3 aisles off the main section.

They have/had 2 types... the super skinny ones, about the width of a toothpick (hey man... it is a toothpick) and other ones about 1/4" thick and 2-3" long. The tiny ones were 3/$3, the larger (brighter, and better IMHO) ones are 2/$1.75

[mirth]

Yup. sounds like we're talking about the same ones... They glow suuuper bright, 'specially the green ones, and last about 6 hours.

Before we schedule anything solid, let me get info from the park district about nighttime usage of the course. I will wait to tell them about our intentions, but I want to know what their stance is. Although it shouldn't be a big deal (especially if they do not know about our glow rounds), I know that they may have insurance & police liability issues.

I love glow disc and think it will be a good addition to our lineup of offerings.  Everything should be cool; I just want to make sure.

I will give a full report on my meeting with the WPD before Sunday.

As you can see I am very interested in a glow league. I have tested my 2" mini glow sticks & they work awesome!!!! This is why I am so pumped to play. My preference-- 1. Friday-maybe every other throughout the summer or every if there is enough interest @ 8:30. Lombard has a glow tournament every Friday & I have heard they get quite a few play. 2. Singles event with 18 holes of regular tees. 3. Fee $2.00. Winner 75% 2nd 25%. Let me know what you think

Mirth,

       Those payouts sound good to me. I bought 100 glow sticks for me to use. I would be willing to sell half but would use the other half for myself. I bought the 100 for $42.00-that inclued the shipping. I would suggest $0.50 each. I'm sure I could find a better deal on the internet. Where do you get your glow sticks from Mirth? What price? What would you suggest?

Mirth,

       What section did bass pro have the glow sticks. I could only find the bigger ones there. How much were they charging. Parkside would be good if Bevier does not work out.

[CEValkyrie]

By the way. Farifield does close at dusk.

[CEValkyrie]

I'll have to check it out next time i'm there. The ones I got are not like a toothpick. The are 2" long and about a 1/4 inch wide. (The women just don't get too excited over the size) They do work pretty good though. (The glow that is) Came out to be $0.42 each. Not too bad & they glow like crazy.

Anyone up for a glow round @ BEVIER? I'm up for a night of discing. Let's schedule a date.
