Moonlit Guerrilla Golf

I don't think it can be aggravated trespass.
Defined as:

A person commits the offence of aggravated trespass if he trespasses on land [F1in the open air] and, in relation to any lawful activity which persons are engaging in or are about to engage in on that or adjoining land [F2in the open air] , does there anything which is intended by him to have the effect—
(a)of intimidating those persons or any of them so as to deter them or any of them from engaging in that activity,
(b)of obstructing that activity, or
(c)of disrupting that activity.

Unless there were some PAYING midnight golfers of course..

Does that gauge reading mean there was zero Bulltulip in the OP post?

I think your gauge is broken!

Couple of my out there mates from the pub have been playing nocturnal rounds of golf. Illegally.

The basic idea is to wait for a clear night with a full moon (not many of those recently) and drive off to one of the many golf courses and play a few holes in the moonlight.

Someone's been watching the latest 'Magners' advert, haven't they?

That's actually very interesting. Styles Junior takes part in an annual night-golf competition at his golf club.

They use balls that glow in the dark, the rules are Texas Scramble, and they have a shotgun start so all the teams start and finish together.

Timing the event in the year is tricky. Obviously midwinter would be best because it is dark by 5pm, but at that time of year the course is often wet and the conditions usually very cold. So they go for October and start later.

They only play nine holes, which means they can only accomodate nine teams of four, but it means they finish in time for hot refreshments and a few jars in the clubhouse afterwards. And it also means they don't have to go down to the far corner of the course around the 11th and 12th, which is very spooky at night.

Played here in January.

First nine in daylight, second under the lights. Interesting although you have to keep the ball straight as the minute you go offline the light dissipates quickly.

One hole runs next to a creek which when night fell emanated a lot of hissing - I kept my drive well to the left on that one.

Sounds pretty wild!
