So, for the second time in three months, my brother, friend and I went out and played disc golf at night, four rounds of 18 tonight.
I think we've got a pretty good setup. We have a rural course with solid teepads and Discraft baskets. This course only has one hole over 350, but each shot has some sort of obstacle. We haven't been bothered once at this course, and there isn't too much traffic.
Our setup includes lights for discs, one driver, one mid, one putter each. We also have push button lights, some LED, that we place on top of each basket. We don't use lights or glow sticks/bracelets for the teepads because of their proximity to the previous basket. One of us (or more) uses a head lamp for the rare occasion we can't find a disc, or the light falls off, which has only happened on rare occasions.
My question and reasoning for this thread is, does anybody else have tips or routines for night disc golf that may help out our community? Also, what type of course do you usually play at night? Our course is somewhat challenging, but the rural aspect I think is what makes our course ideal. I've played at Blue Ribbon Pines at night, and I didn't like it as much, because the holes are tight, pretty long, and you only usually have so many lights on discs.
We have a blast at night, there are no crowds, winds are down, etc. Although we've done this only twice, um, it is winter and we're in Minnesota. We're looking at making it a part of our routine.
