Our club is known for our running, but many of us also enjoy playing golf! Here is all the information you’ll need to get ready for the upcoming Night Golf social event.
Date: Thursday, September 16 at Saddlebrook Executive Course.
Time: Golf will begin around 7:30 pm; time dictated by sunset! Time will be announced a few days before the event. We will plan on meeting around 6:00 pm for pre-golf pizza and drinks (BYOB).
A few important rules for Night Golf: 1) each player must provide their own Glow Golf balls and they must be purchased in advance. They are available at Glenview CC (about $4 each) or on Amazon. The balls that work best are those that you bounce to activate, not the ones that use a flashlight to charge them. Plan on at least 2 balls per person, or a few more if your running skills are better than your golfing skills. 2) Each team needs to appoint a captain in advance. The captain will attend a quick rules meeting with the golf ambassador at the starter shack. 3) Golf will be a shotgun start, in a Scramble format. All 9 teams will travel to their assigned hole to begin. Everyone hits from the green tees, then the team selects the best ball to use for each shot, and everyone plays from that spot. Team captain records the score for that hole on the score card. 4) All players must ride. No carts are available for rent and no accommodations are available for night golf. Carts must stay on the cart path and 5) Mary Lou needs everyone’s Village ID number to submit the roster to the country club. All players must be residents of The Villages.
