Courses I played in Illinois blew the horn if lightning was a factor and off the course you went. No choice. I wonder if a lawsuit looms because of no policy like that here. I can see a personal injury attorney's field day in court.

I've always been amazed at the people still on the golf courses when the sky is black and it's thundering (here...you can bet there's also lightening). As someone said---you can't "fix stupid". Years ago, but up north, there was a couple who sought cover under a kiosk on a golf course AND they both got struck and killed, leaving behind a young family. Guess we'd need a fatality or two before "some" might wise up.

My mom is 96 and, unfortunately, in a nursing home. Every time I go there and she tells me something hurts, etc., I tell her don’t worry mom the next time I come I’ll bring a carton of cigarettes and a bottle of Johnny Walker, that will fix everything. She never did smoke or drink but I told her at 96 it might be a good year to start, lol!

I don't think people are considering the correct risk. When you're in your 70's, 80's, and up, the "risk of death" isn't quite as significant as the "risk of permanent disability."
Imagine - you don't die. But instead, you are in a hospital bed, hooked up to machines, unable to speak, but very able to feel pain for the rest of your life - no matter how long or short that might be. That's the risk these folks need to consider, because there is a very real possibility that being hit by lightning will result in lifelong and painful permanent disability. |

Graphite shafts. Golf carts with rubber tires. No Problem!

I thought it was a 1 iron he couldn't hit! Never accuse him of slow play either!

The story in the 60's and 70's was... only God and Jack Nicklaus could hit a 1 iron.

Cars fine with lightning, but golf carts and graphite?
I fly fish, but no way am I going to wave a graphite rod in a lightning storm, and as for a golf cart, no way! I assume you were joking? Last edited by Two Bills; 08-14-2019 at 12:23 PM. |

I know it has the same meaning but it's more like culling of the herd.

Okay. Okay. It’s a 1-iron!!
But for most of us wannabe golfers, trying to hit a 1-iron or a 2-iron would likely have similar results. Although maybe God can hit a 2-iron, so I’m glad you made the correction. |

An enclosed lane. We're not outside in the open air. We have a roof over our head.
