[discdoh]

Has anyone tried one of these out? Here is a link to the manufacturers website...

This looks like the best solution for glow golf time that I can find. I found an alternative source for about half the cost, so don't take the $60 price tag too seriously.

It's the exoskeleton. It's UV reactive. Fun fact: UV lights also are great for finding head lice. Found three on my 14 month old, and got them treated before they could lay any nits.
Got 2 UV flashlight off ebay for under $10 shipped. Short range, but perfect for charging glow discs or finding bugs.

Imo the single 3w uv led outperforms the multiple led low power ones.

I've been happy with

Worked well for my maybe-two glow-only rounds. But, frankly, ever since I got LED's

I've been relying mostly on them. Easier than finding a disc during the day.

I use the same LED flashlight. The old school professional in me can't allow myself to tape anything to my discs.

Yeah, I sympathize with that view. But it is _so_ easy to find discs when you attach an LED.

I do feel a little better with the new PDGA guidelines. And, at least for now, I stick to two LED-attached glow discs that I don't use for daytime rounds.

UV lights will also make Tomato Catepillars glow, making them easy to find on tomato plants!
thanks for the lice tip. My wife deals with children with her job and the tip will come in handy.

Good info, too late for me though. 14 mos, eh? Wait til elementary school, at least you've got a good way to find 'em.

I still think old school is the way to go with glowies. A good old fashion flash unit will charge up a group's worth of plastic in one quick shot. Waiting while each bozo in the group charges their driver gets pretty old a couple holes into a round. But what the heck, you can't find lice or scorpions with a flash unit.
