When you hear thunder it’s time to go. I was in the clubhouse in Illinois when the lightning sirens blew and about 20 minutes later an ambulance pulled in and took a golfer to the hospital from a lightning strike that apparently was only a glancing blow. (What ever that is) I didn’t know him. He spent the night in the hospital and was ok as far as I know. Lightning in the area is no joke. TV has no sirens and we are the lightning capital so golfers beware. Only a fool stays on the course with lightning in the area.
