Attached are some pictures of recently destroyed homes to put things in perspective.
Your statement of “We have data to show many strikes happening to homes near golf courses “

I would think the villages lightning study group has Exact numbers, than the use of “Many”

Next the pictures you posted I don’t see any golf courses? Are they close, a mile, more than 5 miles? Data that would give a better idea than a general golf course strikes.

Data is not definitive, but interesting? Unsure how to interpret.

Date of the pictures would also peek interest in your meetings, if that what the group is seeking
