I take it your not playing a full round, that place took nearly 6 hours in perfect conditions last time.

Take your mobile phones with you and a flask of coffee!

Night golf is a good crack, you wait until putting!

Err and Tiny, they dont light up the rivers, ponds, creeks etc so no night swimming this time big boy!

This sounded like a great idea a couple of weeks ago, temps were about 8-9degC and it was going to be fun. Not so sure about the fun part now. I hope there is no dress code tonight, because I won't be looking like a normal golfer.....even thinking of getting my ski-wear out the loft, salopettes and a nice big coat should be good!
I wonder if they will let us use the buggies tonight......off roading in a golf buggy with no lights.......

What a great night! Cheers Guys

As we set out onto the course, and I felt the cold and realised how dark it was, I did wonder to myself WTF have we let ourselves in for!

But what a crack!
And some surprisingly good golf, Team ESC 3rd overal!
We all had our Pink shirts on ready to go and collect a prize, but only 1st and 2nd got prizes. Not quite sure what they would have thought of us in those, but not my club so who cares.

Bigboy - "don't worry about the dark boys, i've got a huge, 50 million candle torch", shame someone didn't read the instructions, otherwise they would have realsied that the battery only lasts 20-30 min per charge.

Surprisingly I didn't feel the cold at all, despite the shorts and t-shirt, even with it being -3 when we got back in, and frost covering the bags and clubs

So I take it we will enter again next year, LED head torches all round I think!

Great night guys, thanks for inviting me.
Can't believe I sank that putt, would never have gone in if I could have seen the hole

As for the cold, once we were walking it wasn't that bad even if my bag had a thick layer of frost on it when I took it out the boot last night. My toes were the coldest though....note for next year, buy new thermal socks

I will write an article for the newsletter, I know not everyone is into golf, but the editor is so I am sure he will happy for another article to go in.

Thanks again guys for a great night out.

Well done "Team ESC" on your 3rd place.

It was rather nippy last night, even had the car heater on speed 2 for a while.
