Golfing is a favorite pastime for many Rockfordians, but it is actually something I have never done before, which I know is ridiculous.

I went to a driving range once up in Wisconsin by my family's cabin, and we'll just say the experience did not end well, but that was many years ago. Now that I'm an adult, it's well past time for me to take a swing at it again, but honestly, sweating through a hot summer day on a golf course is just not up my alley. Mini putting or glow golfing at night? Now that's a different story.

What Is Glow Golf?

If you're wondering what exactly Glow Golf is all about, just imagine mini-putting in the dark with glow-in-the-dark balls and obstacles. Doesn't that sound like a fun, interesting twist to your traditional golf game? Not to mention, it's a great way to beat the summer heat of golfing during the day!
