Sunset. . .

[bluenose10]

Generally what time does the sunset and its not possible to carry on playing a round?? I am playing with a lad after work so tee off at 6pm (half price green fee). . . We are fairly quick players. what time do you think it will be unplayable and have to give up due to lack of light?

Nice day like today??.......8:45pm or so.

 

[stevek1969]

I played last week, teed of at just before 6 and played 18 no problems ,roughly about 9.15 and we weren't exactly running round

 

[Twire]

This time of year, if it's a nice day it should be ok until about 9 ish....might even be a little later than that (as i'm a lot further south than you) so 3 hours for a 2 ball might be ok depending on what course, and course trafick.

 

[bluenose10]

Nice one cheers fellas. . .

going to give it a go and if i only get through 15 or so its still all good. . .

I came off my local track at 9:15 last night but I struggled to see my last approach shot into the 18th green.

Thats because you were looking up JK

I arranged a tie last night for next Monday and we're teeing off at 6pm. It was still playable light last night at 9.30pm. Any later than that we might be struggling.

 

[bobmac]

Try this. It's normally quite accurate

It was actually because I hit it so damn far....played a blinder to be fair, rescue wood about 220yds into the back of the green, 2 putted for par

Or in my case my strawberry milkshake from McDonalds as I had my son with me

 

[slugger]

teed off at 5.45 last night and came off the course at 8.30. lovely night. Shame i'm not able to play tonight.

 

[freddielong]

Depends on the course I have been going out for the last few weeks at about 6.30 and getting around. Its still playable till about 9.45.

if you hit the ball straight you don't need to see it LOL.

Did he pace the 220 yards out?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I would say around 8.45-9.00 depending on weather conditions (cloud cover). According to my club diary sunset is due for 8.43 today

Bit windy but lovely evening and no better way to unwind after a Monday at work.......
