It's almost summer, and something I'm looking forward to, if I have any time, is hitting the links for some golf. Iowa and Illinois have some awesome golf courses but one in Eastern Iowa is celebrating its 50th year.

As part of the 50th celebrations, Palmer Golf Course in Bettendorf is inviting everyone to come practice their putting in the dark. They have a huge putting green called The Forge, and it's awesome. Plus, who doesn't love putting with glow-in-the-dark golf balls?

How do you do this awesome glow-in-the-dark putting? Here are the details.
