Poll has ended and it has been carved in stone.... Tuesdays are for glow golf at Lenora!!!!!

Be there :twisted:

.... or be someplace else

by **djester** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 3:02 pm

Glow devices would be the players task to come up with. I have bought a few LED key chain lights that I tape to the bottom of the disc (option 1 below). If you can find some little ones, they'll work good on a stable disc. Most go for the last option (6) since they are the lightest.

Disc LED light options
1. http://www.theledlight.com/inova-microlight.html (costly, but easy to get golfing first)
2. http://www.nightdiscgolf.com/disc_lights.html (items can be bought at Radio Shack for less cost)
3. http://www.flashflight.com/holeinone/index.shtml (downside: you have to drill a hole in your disc )
4. http://www.blackjaxsports.com/PRODUCTS/ ... roPOD.html (looks like you have to drill this one too)
5. http://www.everythingdiscgolf.com/manuf ... turerid=33 (LED are in the disc!! never tried these though)
6. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W785EE (these work, but are not the brightest around... they are the lightest!!)

Basket Light options
1. http://www.blackjaxsports.com/shop/inde ... ducts_id=8 (this is by far the best set up I've seen!!)
2. Glow sticks (could be had for cheap after halloween discounts)
3. any kind of camping LED light I guess

by **djester** » Fri Nov 06, 2009 9:06 pm

We have a tie for Tuesday & Wednesday with a few others just behind..... which day will win? Who knows??!!!! so vote!!

Seacrest out!! lame ass stuff I know

by **djester** » Mon Nov 09, 2009 9:38 am

Never mind!!! Looks like a bit of rain is going to fall..... maybe next week!!

I'll get glow sticks for the baksets.... but that's all I can provide. I can bring a flashlight if you want to bring glow discs, but they don't glow too well. Anyone have a portable blacklight?? They work best.

Hope that atleast 4 people show

by **billnchristy** » Tue Nov 10, 2009 9:02 am

What time are we talking? Obviously not today but Tuesdays in the future?

by **mr.disc** » Tue Nov 10, 2009 3:01 pm

glow umbrellas...... :shock:

by **djester** » Tue Nov 10, 2009 3:09 pm

I was thinking about 7pm.... but maybe we could start at 6-6:30 ? The park closes at 11 I think, if it has changed, we'll have to figure something out. One thing is : I don't plan on golfing till 11 at night!!! I'd like to be done by 9:30 so 6:00 or 6:30 should give us the ending time we want.

No glow stratus' are allowed for glo-golf, sorry!!

by **billnchristy** » Tue Nov 10, 2009 4:54 pm

That might be doable. We could hit Stevi-Bs on the way...will have our daughter though. I was a nuke mechanic but she doesn't glow.

by **djester** » Tue Nov 10, 2009 7:40 pm

Next Tuesday = Wind: From N at 3 mph
Max. Humidity: 79%
Sunset: 5:32 PM ET
Avg. Low: 40°F

I'm thinking start @ 6:30.... that should give us the finish time we are seeking and it should be pretty dark by then.

I'll pick up some glow sticks for the baskets.... Last time I checked, Sports Authority had a few of the light up pods that require the disc to be drilled in the middle, then they snap in the hole. I haven't tried any of these types, but I may give it a shot since I have a few discs that I could dedicate for Glo golf. They had them on clearance sale about 2 weeks ago. I'll stop by and take a look to see if they have a few left, if so, I'll grab a few and keep a tool that cuts holes in plastic in case anyone wants to use one (and doesn't mind a hole getting cut into their plastic)

by **djester** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 9:22 pm

Tuesday = That's Right!!!
Doubles if enough show up.
I'll be there....will you?

6:30 pick 'em
6:45 start
I'll pick up the glow sticks (for baskets) after work.
I'm in it for fun.... but playing for money isn't out of the question! :wink:

How many strokes you giving up?? :lol:

by **djester** » Tue Nov 17, 2009 9:41 am

I'll give 4 to you :shock:

Just like at JP Moseley when I shot a par score, then added 4 strokes to my score

by **djester** » Tue Nov 17, 2009 10:49 am

slight chance of rain tonight but I'm still in!

by **brim** » Tue Nov 17, 2009 4:25 pm

I'm in depending on the rain come game time.

by **djester** » Tue Nov 17, 2009 9:44 pm

Great turn-out tonight!! Couldn't have asked for a better crowd :lol:

Great weather and the rain didn't start till we were finished

Look for action next week at the same time. Thanks to all that came out

by **billnchristy** » Wed Nov 18, 2009 10:06 am

D'oh!

Damn the memory. We need to get us some discs too, I don't think playing Lenora with a #2 putter would be a good idea. :lol:

by **djester** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 8:47 pm

I'm hoping to beat last weeks attendance!!

Same time, same place!! I'll try tp pick up a few more glow sticks (for the baskets) at the dollar store.

Bring your LED's for your discs.... I believe that Radio Shack sells LED's and you can wire them to a watch battery if you're crafty.

Or buy a small LED light key chain and tape it to your discs..... that's the easiest way!!! See top thread for LED options!!!

Target sells the Innova ones (what better LED to put on you discs??)

by **djester** » Tue Nov 24, 2009 11:55 am

T-minus 7 hours !!

Glow discs don't work too well unless you have a flash-bag, or a portable blacklight (best as your eyes won't be temp. blind)

Great weather tonight!!! 50* till 9pm.

Last week we finished at about 8:15 :wink:

by **djester** » Tue Nov 24, 2009 11:12 pm

Thanks to all that came out!! Almost doubled the attendance this week just about! :oops:

Perfect weather at 55*, no wind, and fairly visible conditions even with cloudy cover. :shock:

There was a little fog, but not too much.
Woody wins with a 7 down making 60ft putts in the dark :twisted:

, Sausage Panther first loser with 5 down missing 15ft putts (in daylight or dark)

I'm expecting a great turnout next week since so many showed up tonight!
Next week we'll have an almost full moon (full moon Wed.), hopefully clear skies and we won't need to light the baskets.

Keep checking here for updates :roll:

by **billnchristy** » Wed Nov 25, 2009 12:51 pm

I am coming out next week no matter what. My wife is still broke but is going to the doc again today.

Have you been playing singles?

by **djester** » Wed Nov 25, 2009 1:19 pm

yeah... we've voted singles so far each week.
Be sure to get out early so I have enough time to make a list of names for grouping! :lol:

by **djester** » Mon Nov 30, 2009 11:37 am

It's looking like good weather again this week.

We'll try for a 7pm start time.... Full moon on Wednesday so it will be pretty light if the clouds stay away.

Expecting another record attendance this week!!

by **djester** » Mon Nov 30, 2009 8:27 pm

How about a Lenora Park Glow Double Fun Factiod!!!!! ?????

The attendance of Doubles reflects to less than 1% of number of hits for this thread (519+)

I'll be there again.... start time 7pm to allow for more people to show

At least I've been finishing early enough to go home and cook dinner :cry:

Website · by **Wookie** » Mon Nov 30, 2009 11:50 pm

i will be there for sure, no foolin'...

by **Woodrow** » Tue Dec 01, 2009 11:17 pm

What a crowd on the course!
And mystic...7 is still the best, right? GGD@LP all night!

by **djester** » Tue Dec 01, 2009 11:26 pm

Thanks to all that came out

Record attendance again.... gets better week by week.
A bit windy tonight but we kept on truckin'.
One guy stopped (Matt) because he saw us throwing the discs, said he'll be back next week.
We all better bring our A-game next week....Woody's gonna be practicing everyday! :lol:

Good times and Glow Golf..... (just like in the movies)

by **billnchristy** » Wed Dec 02, 2009 11:39 am

I keep making a damn liar of myself so I am going to officially say I will NOT be there next week and see how that turns out! :roll:

by **billnchristy** » Sat Dec 05, 2009 8:37 pm

I bought some stuff for night golf at the rat shack last week and I was not thrilled with the light output.

We went to Frys tonight and found some LEDs with the warning "Do not look into LED, could cause permanent damage"

They are expensive, 5 are 19 dollars but they are MOFO bright...10 candela where most are fractions of a single candela.

The standard LEDs at radio shack were 26mcd and these are 10000mcd.

They do need a resistor or you will eat your battery and probably fry the LED too but a little 1/4w resistor adds nothing to weight...in fact it added the same 4g as not using one...the tape and battery is where the weight is.

I also scaled down to a 2016 battery because it is thinner, I have an LED and battery running right now so I can see how long they last so I will report back on that.

Here are the part numbers from Frys:

Linrose B4304H91 5 pack LED $18.99
QW162-25 620 ohm 25 pack 1/4w 1.99
2016 Battery 1.49

Again it is pricey but these LEDs are BRIGHT. I didn't like the 2-LED setup because they always seemed to have a sketchy connection.

by **Matt_** » Sat Dec 05, 2009 9:26 pm

Pricey, but it should be cool to watch flying through the air. Last time I used a single LED placed in the center of the disc and it was kind of cool because you couldn't tell what angle the disc was at, it would just weave through the air like magic. I ordered some of the disc golf led lights with the tiny cilinder battery for use next week. I think i'll place one light on each side of the disc so I can watch the angle next time.

by **billnchristy** » Sat Dec 05, 2009 11:57 pm

Well the 5LEDs and the resistors are enough to do 5 discs so 4 bucks a piece and once you add the battery its 5.50, so not too bad really.

by **djester** » Mon Dec 07, 2009 10:20 am

Looks like crap weather tomorrow, but the temps should be decent.
We'll play it by hand and if anyone still wants to go out, I'm in :wink:

I'll be out there anyways incase someone shows up that doesn't post on here.

by **djester** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 10:45 am

60% chance of rain at 7pm & 46* with slight wind.... I'll be there with rain gear.

by **Woodrow** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 4:11 pm

I won't.

by **djester** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 5:04 pm

poor Woody.... I am expecting a record turnout tonight record lowest attendance

Looks like the rain is going to hold off till 10pm....may be some sprinkles here & there though :wink:

by **djester** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 11:34 pm

no one showed... I played 3 holes then the bottom dropped out. Maybe next week we'll have better weather

by **Woodrow** » Wed Dec 09, 2009 1:33 pm

Just got off the phone with d-jester.
GLOW DOUBLES IS ON FOR TONIGHT!!!

Sausage Panther approved!!!

Wednesday night Glow Doubles moved to tonight since it rained us (me) out last night
Woody will have extra lights for discs (not sure how many, but at least 4)

by **djester** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 11:00 am

Nate wins with a -2 :shock:

the rest were losers that lost :oops:

great weather... windy, but not the worst I've played in at Lenora

by **djester** » Tue Dec 15, 2009 2:44 pm

Temps and winds are looking well for tonight. 7pm pick 'em. I heard there was going to be a record attendance tonight!

by **djester** » Wed Dec 16, 2009 9:53 am

Not sure if I can make it tomorrow, new gig has me working 7am to 6pm and Saturdays getting payed for 40 hrs a week. woo!

at least I still have a job!!

by **arrdee33** » Wed Jan 13, 2010 2:01 pm

Little late in the season, I just stumbled across this thread while bored at work.

Up here in TN a group of us play glow each week and for what its worth the LED option #4 (blackjax areopod)in this thread are the best we have come by, been using them for over a year now.

yes you have to drill holes in a disc or few, but who doesnt have a couple ole champ discs laying around to use.
if not hit up the play it again used bin.

keep in mind they tend to make a disc more understable so max weights or at least 170's tend to work best

they take two 2016 batteries (included) so that the anly real expense later

they are very rugged as proven by the many trees we've hit in the dark, weve never broke one

we recently ordered 20 directly from blackjax website ( i called the guy actually) he was very cool, gave a discount
with shipping and all it was 108 bucks, basically a couple bucks off each

the solid colors are $7, the multi (changes color) are $9 i think...........but he'll give you a deal, even threw in a shirt and i ordered on a friday and got on tuesday

anyway hope this helps for the future, glow golf is awesome, even witnessed our first glow ace a while back

by **djester** » Sun Jan 17, 2010 6:44 pm

Looks like good weather for GLo golf !!! I may or may not be able to make it in time, but I'll try my best!!!

by **djester** » Tue Jan 19, 2010 5:51 pm

6:30 start!
Records will be made!

by **djester** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 9:09 am

Dismal attendance :/
Perfect weather once again! Clear skies, almost zero wind, and now we have new light sticks to glow the baskets.
A great battle ensued on the course with the lead changing every other hole. Great putts were made, some were in excess of 50ft!
A new glow record was recorded!

11 under par!!

Thanks to all that attended, see you next week (weather & work permitting)

by **djester** » Mon Jan 25, 2010 10:37 am

Glow golf @ Lenora.... It's what for dinner.
Bit mushy out, my back is all janked-up, but I'll still be out tonight if anyone wants to waste their Tuesday evening playing blind.

by **djester** » Tue Feb 02, 2010 2:40 pm

Well, just got news that I'll be working 14 hours today. No golf for me.
Sorry for the inconvenience, maybe next week.
