Believe it or not, the USGA is very strict on what types of golf balls are allowed to be used in the game of golf. The golf balls must follow a wide variety of strict rules in order to be considered legal. This has made players wonder if gimmicky golf balls, like glow in the dark golf balls, are legal. So, I read through the equipment rules to find out if there are legal or illegal.
Are glow in the dark golf balls legal? According to the USGA, glow in the dark golf balls are totally legal to use in any casual, high-level amateur, and professional golf outings. So, you can use glow in the dark golf balls in whatever games and tournaments you’d like.
Many people would think that glow in the dark golf balls are illegal because their appearance may be exploited in a game. However, the only design that the USGA seems to be fully against is a design that aids the player in aiming the ball, increasing speed, or manipulating the flight path of a ball. Other than those 3 things, there aren’t many designs that the USGA cares about.
In conclusion, you can use your glow in the dark golf balls where ever you’d like.
