i was playing golf with my brother the other day and he was using a glow in the dark ball cuase we were playing twilight and we were discussing ways to play all year round or at night and we came up with the idea of a completely indoor course with only black lights and glowballs now it would contain all ur normal features sand,water hazards rough,fair ways and putting greens but think of the possiblities glowing sand traps,black light illuminated water hazards with fish in them, no more sunburn from the heat of the day, no insects, no rain and in colder areas like here in the northeastern united states we cant golf all year round like the south so you would have a tourist attraction and something the locals would use all year

       Widley known to exist excluding the trees and water. Its just mini-golf indoors under blacklights. They even have it in Metro Center Mall back in Phoenix, but with a funny name ... here they call it "Lights Off Golf."   

       I even got a link there with some video.

       To simulate this cheaply and perhaps get a free round in at a closed course, you could put a torch or strobe in the hole and use a ball painted with glow paint. You could either use the radioactive type which glows all the time or use the more common paint that 'stores' light. You probably need a few of these balls that you'd keep in a pouch which had a torch in.

       Well, these are all good ideas. I think a great place to do something like this would be a place like that zepplin shop over in germany. linkie.

       Sand traps? This is obviously a pedant trap.

       I would like to see this played within an actual zeppelin, in space, with zero gravity, except for the mild coriolis forces brought about by its gentle rotation.
