Several years ago, in PA, the course we were playing sounded the "stop play" horn. The sky was bright and blue but you could see the storm clouds in the distance. A foursome decided to finish playing the hole but when they got to the green decided to pick up. Three survived, one didn't, after the lightning hit the man directly. The outline of his feet were burned into the grass. The course erected a plaque at the sign acknowledging the dangers along with a planted a tree with the man's name as a memorial. Also, don't know that those that stay out in bad weather are stupid, would like to think they are just ignorant.
