The Second Most FUN You Can Have in the Dark

Nite Lite
Golf Tournaments & Events have offered many hours of fun,
excitement, and increased revenue for thousands of golf clubs, courses and
major resorts around the world for over 13 years. Nite Lite golf ball
plays and putts just like a regulation golf ball. The Jumbo 1.5 inch
Lightsticks allow the golf ball to glow 2.7 times brighter and is easier
to see and find than any other night golf ball. Golf Balls glow from 6-8
hours and there is no need to use a recharging mechanism. Now, with the
addition of colored light sticks, other golf games at night can be easily
played.
To help organize a
really successful NITE LITE Golf Tournament or Event, we have outlined
some key questions and answers for you to think about:
- How many players do I
need to have a tournament?
A successful Tournament should
have at least 36 players in 4 person teams. The number of players can
increase to 72 for a nine hole Tournament. Should your participation
level increase beyond that amount, the number of holes played should be
increased to accommodate players. Should the number increase
significantly, all 18 holes of the golf course can be played. Tournaments
are usually played in a shotgun scramble/best ball to speed up play.
- How many golf balls per
person should I allocate?
The first thing to think about
is the layout of your course. Will a lot of water come in to play? Are
the fairways open or narrow? Consider the ability and the number of
players. Rule of thumb is at least one golf ball per person and one extra
per foursome. However, if hazards (water) come into play, the number
should be increased to at least 2 per person and 1 extra per team.
- How do I light up the Tee
Boxes, Fairways, Greens and Players?
Giant Tee Markers are about 11
inches high and 8 inches around, and are an excellent tool to light the
Tee Boxes. These are re-usable by inserting a new 6 light stick into the
Giant Tee. The Giant Tees come with one 6 green light stick but can also
be lit using red, blue, yellow or white 6 light sticks.
6 Green Lightsticks are used
to light 150 yard markers and are attached to the top of the flagpoles.
One can also be taped to the middle of the flag pole for extra color.
Different Color Lightsticks can
be used to mark hazard areas such as cart paths, water, bridges and
especially sand traps that are located adjacent to greens.
6 Green Lightsticks are also
used to light up the green. Place Lightsticks on approach to greens at
2-3 foot intervals to identify the green and therefore allow payers to
select the correct club. This also adds a festive touch to the course.
3 Light Circles can be used
to light up the cup. Place the circle up against the flagpole and when
the pole is pulled, circle will drop in the cup. Last player putting
replaces the flagpole and props up the circle for the next team of
players. 6 Lightsticks can also be used here as well as a number of 1.5
inch sticks placed in the cup.
3 light circles are also used
to light up the golf carts. Place one in the front and one in the back
of the cart for safety. Players can now see the cart in front of them.
Light up the beverage carts too.
22 Necklaces are used to light
up the players. Provide one necklace per player. Necklaces come in tubes
of 50 and are available in green and multi-color. Extra necklaces are a
good way to add extra color when wound down the flagpole.
22 Necklaces are also used to
outline the perimeter of greens especially for large putting events when
the entire greens are lit up in green. Different colors can be used to
identify other putting greens. They are also used to decorate golf carts
for use during the tournament, by attaching to the top and rails of the
cart.
Tiki Torches and lighted candle
sin bags also add a festive touch to fairways, tee boxes and hazard areas.

me to purchase my Nite Lite golf balls and accessories?
Call us at 1-800-446-4159 or
email us at starlite@mail.com. We cater to those customers who have
specific requirements (vs. pre-packaged kits).

Tournament or fund-raising event?

to meet your special needs and work with you to plan a successful
tournament as well as provide you with other tips and Ideas for planning
your event. We can be reached at 1-800-446-4159.
- Are there any other
products that I should be aware of to contribute to the success of my
Nite Lite event?
We carry lighted mugs and
goblets. These contribute to the festivities of your night event. Drinks
now become LITE! Reusable by inserting a new lightstick. StarLite
products also carries other golf related items that can be used for prizes
such as the Won-Putt golf balls, Forever GolfBalls, Nite Lite Footballs,
and Badminton Birdies.
- How long does it take to
ship my order?
In order to ensure sufficient
shipping time for your order with enough time before your tournament date,
please try to place your order at least 2 weeks out. Of course we pride
ourselves on service so we can rush your order if required. Next day,
Second Day, and 3 day Select shipping can be arranged, however do keep in
mind that these services add to the shipping charges.
- How do I order
replacement Lightsticks and golf balls?
Replacement 1.5 Jumbo light
sticks are available in packs of 50 (or less). 6 replacement Lightsticks
are also available in bags of 25 (green). Other colors are packaged
individually. Please allow additional time for different colors.
- How long do I need to
light the course?
You should begin to light the
course at least 1 1 ½ hours prior to your tournament to allow
sufficient time to place Lightsticks, etc. in desired locations.
- What other events can be
played?
Major resorts host putting
contests for parties of 200 persons or more, combining cocktails, food and
music for a special evening event along with the greens that are lit with
torches, lightsticks filled glowing balloons and more.
Closest-to-the-pin, Putting Challenges, and Longest drives all make for
great fund-raising activities. Ask us for the Details!
- Is there anything else I
need to know?
Ensure that players bring
flashlights and that they are only used for direction. No flashlights are
to be used while playing. Also hand out or read the Official Nite Lite
Golf rules to your players prior to teeing off. Thanks for playing Nite
Lite Golf! We appreciate your business!!

Nite Lite Golf Official Rules & Suggestions
- 1. The purpose of Nite Lite Golf
is to provide you with more FUN than you have ever had on a golf
course. If you do not laugh at least once while playing you will be
banned for life. Nite Lite Golf is the second most fun you
can have in the dark.
- 2. Bend the Jumbo 1.5 Lightsticks
to activate and shake vigorously. Insert the lightstick into the larger
hole in the golf ball. Use a tee to push the lightstick in all the
way. Center the lightstick in the ball with a tee. Lightsticks can
only go in one way.
- 3. Use a 3 wood or 4 wood off the
tee instead of a driver. This way the ball will go further. You can
use your driver if you wish.
- 4. Men usually need one club
longer than hey would usually hit. Ladies need 2 clubs longer. The
shorter the club, the closer the Nite Lite ball will travel as compared
to a regular golf ball.
- 5. Keep carts along the sides of
fairways and walk over to your ball. When crossing the fairway, travel
at a 90 degree angle.
- 6. Passenger in cart holds a
flashlight to show the driver where to go.
- 7. DO NOT SHINE FLASHLIGHTS
on ball when hitting or putting. No flashlights allowed on the green to
read putts or when putting.
- 8. When on the green, it is a good
idea to let the best putter putt last. The first one can putt right at
the hole to see if there is any break.
- 9. PLAY WINTER RULES
- 10. Always tee off with your club
face hitting parallel with the lightstick. DO NOT HIT
ON THE END OF THE LIGHTSTICK OR THE STICK MAY COME OUT!! On all
other shots, you are allowed to turn your ball so you will hit parallel
with the lightstick.
- 11. When leaving the green, blink
your flashlights on ad off 6 times so the foursome behind you will know
that you are leaving the green.
