Redwitch, you beat me to it, definite candidates for the Darwin award. Just hope that I am not the one that needs to report the results......

PS Twice I have been very close to lightning strikes, once about 100 to 150 feet away from a 75 ft pine tree that was struck (it was reduced to a stump), and once when I was walking toward a metal building when it was struck. Both times I heard, saw, felt the lightning stroke at the same time, very scary. I would not tempt fate again by even thinking of golfing during a storm.
