Default Night Golf is for the Birds

We played night golf for the first time. As far as we are concerned we've done that and move on. Somehow I thought night golf was like night baseball or night tennis with lights all around. Wrong. Yes, you see a glowing ball so you try to hit that to a pin glowing faintly in the distance. You duff the ball because you lose the feel of distance to the ball. You have no idea whether there is a trap in front of the green or water hazard on the side. You just aim for the dim light and if some one before us do not properly leave the lit pin towards the tee you are dead. Putting is completely another matter. Yes, if the ball flies towards the green, it is beautiful but.... There was one occasion when one of the foursome practically fell into a bunker because all around was so dark. Good thing one of the foursome brought a flashlight.
