The glow ball brand Glow V1 takes the cake when it comes to a clever product name, but their balls tend to not last as long as those produced by Night Eagle, and they will need to be “re activated” with light throughout the round.

Older glow ball models did not feature LED technology, and were only activated by the impact of being hit. They would fade in between hits, and were often unreliable. These older glow ball models were often lost between shots, as golfers would be unable to locate them once the light faded. Chameleon’ katsura – Cercidiphyllum japonicum‘Chameleon’. Leaves are slightly variegated, with a mottled pattern on younger trees. As the tree ages, the yellow-white variegation shifts towards the outside of the leaf, leaving the center a deeper green color.Tidal wave’ – most weeping of the three: branches start crawling along the ground when they reach it!

Putting is one of the toughest parts of glow golf, as greens can be nearly impossible to read with a flashlight. Golf courses can prepare for night golf events by cutting the pins toward the center of the greens in flat areas, while more mischievous greenskeepers will leave tougher pin placements on the course for night golfers. Night golf tournaments can be held safely at golf courses with proper planning, and all water hazards as well as other dangerous areas should be marked off or clearly lit. Oftentimes, golf courses will only make night golf tournaments available to members of the golf course who are very familiar with its layout to avoid any mix-ups or issues. Night Eagle LED glow balls are activated by shining a bright light like a flashlight onto a designated circle printed on the ball. This light will activate the LED, and will stay lit until you decide to turn it off, with no need to re-hine throughout the round.
