As well as being the host of this week's Turkish Airlines Open, the Regnum Carya Golf Resort is also home to the first fully flood-lit golf course in Europe.
All 18 holes of the 7,127 yard course are surrounded by high powered flood lights that offer golfers the option of playing late into the night. Brandon Stone, the BMW SA Open winner and one of 78 players in the field this week, saw the flood lights when he arrived in Turkey tweeted us at the Tour asking if he could play a practice round at night.
Hey @EuropeanTour ... are we allowed night practice rounds this week? Looks like fun out there right now #TurkishAirlinesOpen pic.twitter.com/j0JZuGIDyi

On the night before the tournament starts, Stone and fellow South African and European Tour winner Haydn Porteous played the last three holes,live on Facebook, in a three-club challenge.
Throughout the 45 minutes both answered questions about each other, their wins on Tour, their favourite moments and even their favourite sports teams.
