Local golf players in Tubatse enjoyed an unusual golfing experience when they participated in the annual night-golf tournament last Friday, November 6. The well attended games were held at the Chrome Golf Club.
The players teed off at 18:30 and played through the night.
Martin van Rooyen of Tubatse Chrome Club told Steelburger/Lydenburg News that since night golf was launched at the club several years ago, it has brought enjoyment to hundreds of people.
“We are planning for a big event of night golf around February next year, he added. This year’s night golf crown was clinched by Bertus Swart.
With night golfing, players use the amazing light-up golf balls. The LED-infused balls light up in one of four colours when they are hit and stay alight for eight minutes after each shot. Also, there are lights embedded on the flags.
Night golf was developed as a fun, innovative way of furthering avid players’ game. Night golf is also great for people who find it hard to fit their golfing time into their busy schedule.
