Have you ever played night golf? I don’t mean twilight golf or even “oh crap, the sun went down but let’s try to finish this hole with our flashlights and cellphones” golf. I mean full blown, tee off after dark on an unlit course on purpose, using whatever means we can including glow balls, night golf! I haven’t, but I’ve been dying to try it! Now I may get my chance, and so can you!

On Friday, September 28, 2012, The Loving Heart Hospice Foundation is hosting the 2nd annual “Lights Out” No Frills 9 Hole Scramble Golf Tournament. The event will take place at Simi Hills Golf Course and is being organized by Simi Valley City Council Member Barbra Williamson.

There will be no banquet, no raffle, no awards, auction, or goodie bags. Just good ol’ golf (at night), a putting and chipping contest, and buy your own food and beer at the course.  BYOS (Bring Your Own Shenanigans)! All proceeds go straight to the Loving Heart Hospice Foundation, which supports terminally ill, low income hospice patients.

Individual player entry is a flat $80, and extras go up from there including the usual different levels of sponsorship up to $350.

You can use this form to register, or just flat out donate if you’re feeling generous but can’t or don’t want to participate. Registration goes through September 21st, 2012.

I’m going to try to make it out to this event because it sounds like fun and for a great cause! Will you be there?  It’s a scramble, after all, so if you get too frustrated by the darkness, you’ll have backup.  Sounds like a gentle and friendly way to try night golf for the first time!
