Glow in the dark disc golf is a fun way to enjoy your favorite sport after sundown. With a little preparation, you can easily transform your regular disc bag into a glowing flier for nighttime rounds. Besides having the proper glow plastic, you can also add glow tape to your existing discs and use a variety of other glow-in-the-dark gear to make your game even more enjoyable at night.
When playing glow golf, it’s always important to be aware of your environment and be extra careful. There are a lot of dangers lurking in the dark, including invisible roots that reach up to grab ankles and black depths of bushes that can swallow poorly lit discs. To avoid these hazards, it’s best to play with a partner and carry a bright flashlight to help you navigate the course.
You’ll also want to have a specialized glow golf bag or at least a few accessories that are dedicated to your night time round. For example, the MVP LED Tri-Lite is the perfect solution for glowing up your discs. It features a micro design for easy attachment, multiple color options, an easy press-and-click button that saves battery between uses and an auto-cycling color feature. This product is not only functional, but it looks great and will instantly make your discs stand out among the other shiny objects on the course.
If you’re looking for a more permanent solution to a night time disc golf bag, MVP has created the Reactor, a new disc in their Eclipse Glow plastic that is specifically designed as a driver, mid-range and putter. The Reactor features a contemporary design, an understable release and a fade, making it suitable for players of all experience levels. And like other Eclipse products, the Reactor is durable and dependable.
Another option for a permanent glow-in-the-dark disc is the new PDGA-approved Lumina Pro Glow, which is available in both Champion and Glow DX plastics. This premium glow blend burns bright and stays charged for a long time, making it an excellent choice for a daytime or glow-in-the-dark driver. The Lumina Pro is also very lightweight and has good grip even when wet.
There are many other disc manufacturers that produce glow plastic, but they can vary in how well their blends work or don’t work. For example, Innova’s Champion Glow and Discraft’s Glo Z Line or Glo ESP tend to glow very well, but other blends can be hit or miss.
If you’re interested in giving glow in the dark disc golf a try, check out UDisc Leagues to find a league near you that offers glow disc play. If you can’t find a league, it’s easy to organize your own. Or you could just head out to your local course after dark and see if they have any glow-in-the-dark equipment. You can even buy your own glow-in-the-dark equipment and create your own custom setup at home. Either way, you’re sure to have a blast as you watch your disc streak like a comet through the night sky.
