Besides the obvious and having some discs that actually glow, what are you doing differently when the sun goes down? Or are you doing nothing different?
I played a very unprepared round of night golf and the locals put on a clinic and whooped me. It was really fun so I'd like to hear some ideas on how to improve.
One of the things I wasn't prepared for was having glow tape on the disc be the brightest point of light while teeing off. Does this affect anyone else it felt like I almost was closing my eyes to not have it work me.
Another thing that kind of threw me off was putting, is there any kind of half glow or sort of glow blends of plastic? I was almost trying to cover my putter with the other hand to get it out of my sight line.
Also shut up and throw the glow disc is an acceptable response.
I'm going to comment on part of your post that I haven't seen anyone else comment on.
"...the locals....whooped me..."
They probably whooped you because they are familiar with the discs they are throwing and you aren't. You probably don't throw glow discs often....maybe you are like me and have glow discs that just get pulled out for night rounds. You can't always get glow discs that are the same as discs you use and if you do, the plastic and/or weight aren't the same. So you are throwing a totally different disc than you are used to. Even using your normal discs and adding glow tape or LED lights changes the disc enough that if you haven't practiced with it that way, you aren't going to be good. Imagine playing a round in the day, but someone handing you three discs that you've never used before and that is all you are allowed to use....your round isn't going to go well. That is what night golf is like if you don't frequently practice/play with your glow discs.
