Let's take a moment to think of all the new players that have taken up disc golf this year that are currently experiencing their first time change.

We all remember when we first started, disc golf was all we wanted to do. But then, all of a sudden and with little warning, the days started getting shorter and then bam, the time changed (for most of us) and the sun was gone by 5:30 p.m.

There's one way to cure that desire to get a midweek round in: Glow golf.

Here are some tips that were shared on the PDGA's Facebook on how to navitage the course at night:

"1) as much light on those baskets as you can get. Ideally a permanent solar powered LED... but glow-sticks or a flashlight in the bottom works.

2) 1 blacklight for every 2 people (little pocket sized ones)

3) really all you need is a midrange and a putter. If you are feeling fancy you can grab an over-stable and under-stable mid range and driver as well as a putter.

4) test your glow plastic before you go

5) for non-glow discs, use glow ring stickers or adhesive backed LED lights.

6) start walking along the side of the fairway as soon as you throw your disc. Don’t get hit... but keep your eyes on the disc.

7) you don’t have to throw full hole lengths - you can do under 300 feet just fine.

8) go to the dollar store and get some glow necklaces or inexpensive blinking lights to decorate yourself with.

9) every group of 4 should have a conventional flashlight

10) if it gets a bit cold, use grippy gloves (rubber finger pads) to throw" — Rob R.

"Some of my best rounds have been played in the dark with lights taped to the discs. Not seeing all the obstacles can force you to trust your gut and put it on the line." — Hausauer R.

"I went the ratchet route. I spray painted a disc with glow-in-the-dark paint, then used a high lumen flashlight to charge the glow of the disc between throws. I could obviously putt normally." — Brennan F.

"I trained shooting free throws throughout sunset until dark when I was kid. That made me a better FT shooter, I try and translate that to putting." — Mike B.

"Minimize the ambient light. Flashlights, glow sticks, phones. Your eyes can't adjust to the dark if they're constantly getting a bunch of ambient light. Full moons are great too." — Matt P.

"Waiting till 8:00AM." — Ted C.
