Wanna bet that umbrella had a metal shaft? Probably as good as holding a lightning rod.

What gets me is the golfers who play in lightning. Wanna talk about holding a lightning rod? I think Lee Trevino got hit twice.

There was a golfing group of our church choir. During a thunder storm 5 were involved in a lightning strike. Only one survived.

Not sure if you know the old golf adage about lightning....you're safe with a 1 iron....Even God can't hit a 1 iron....../s
