Subject: Lightning hits golf bag This is no joke, if a storm is10 miles away, this can happen to you. The Elks camp in Humatilla has lightning sensors, when the warning goes off everyone is out of the pool, off the ball diamonds and fields and in shelters, dinning hall or cabin. Lightning hits a golf bag Most of the items in the bag simply disintegrated from the heat and intense initial zap - including the labels to his ping irons and Cleveland woods (which all popped off). The electricity burned holes into the bottoms of the clubs. The strange thing is the tree under which he was standing had no sign of a lightning strike. The bolt literally went sideways under the tree to the golf clubs. Lesson to be learned - If you are caught out on the course or water ... distance yourself from anything metal OR graphite. (Did you know that lightning rods are often made of graphite?) Put your cart 50' away from you! |

A good advice for all golfers.
Get off the course or lie flat on your stomach,
even away from your cart.
I witnessed one of our alumni was hit by the
lightning when we had outing during Memorial
Holiday at Grossinger's Golf Course many years
ago. He survived at the nearby ER.
