Week Three: 9 Dine and 9

This past weekend we held one of the most unique golf outings we will host the entire summer, and it is called 9 Dine and 9.  It is unique in that this is an outting that originated from the club and is not another groups outting that we house.  It is also unique in that part of the nine holes is in the day time and the other nine holes is played in the dark with glow golf equipment.  As well, dinner is served to all the participants between the two nines, and this year we had a full field of forty participants.  There was much detail that needed to be accomplished so this event could go on with out a hitch.  These details included making sure that we order enough glow sticks and glow balls for all the participants.  We then ended up buying over one hundred and twenty glow golf balls (three per person)and over two hundred glow sticks and necklaces to light up the holes for directional purposes.  Thereafter the group completed the first nine holes the Assistant Golf Professional raced out on to the course to start putting glow sticks on the tees, fairways and flag sticks.  This was the key part to pulling this off because we only had about thirty five minutes before they were to start the last nine holes of glow golf.  Thankfully we finished setting up the the golf course with about ten minutes to spare and were able to get the group off for the second nine after dinner exactly at 9:30.  This was only the second time the club has ever done this event, and the overall feed back from the participants was great.  They loved the event and some even mentioned to us about possible doing a full eighteen holes of glow golf, or doing a 9 Dine and 9 once every month.  This was a huge success for the club because of the focus on the finer details.  The things that I want to change about the event is to order more than three glow balls per person, as well as order more extra glow sticks to light up the golf carts so people are easier to find and see.  Other than that this event was a huge success and we received mostly positive feed back from the participants.
