During today's storm, based on the time difference between the lightening and thunder, there were frequent ground strikes from 700-1200 yards SSE of my house. The 7th hole of Egret is about 250 yards away in the same direction, leaving 450-950 yards between the hole and the ground strikes. Yet, I watched as 3 groups just continued to play 6,7 and 8 like it was a sunny day. Definite candidates for the Darwin award. I was struck by lightening on a golf course when I was 19, you won't find me tempting fate again.
