ON THE GREENS
by Carolanne D�ig
Just like the proverbial postman a golfer
• will never let rain, or 'sleet, or cold or wind
keep him from his favorite sport, Golfers
invest heavily in rainsuits, umbrellas, and
waterproof shoes. They have been seen

Golfers have developed a knack for dress-
ing to accomodate all weather conditions,
and they have perfected technique,s for play
in •any weather. However, there is one
weather situation that golfers avoid, and
that is a thunderstorm. Why? Lighten-
ing kills!
Deaths and injuries from lightning occur
every year on golf courses. Swinging golf
clubs and holding up umbrellas adds to the
hazard, especially while out in the open.'It is
important to abandon your golf game before'
the storm is near enough to be dangerous.
Don't get caught at the back of the course.

Lightening is considered very dangerous

the rule book provision is made for avoiding
lightning. If a player feels he or she is in
danger of being struck by,lightning he/she
may abandon play during his round with no "
penalty.
Players, caddies and anyone involved in
golf is encouraged to listen to weather warn7
ing and heed them. However, should you be,
unfortunate enough to get caught in a storm -
the Ontario Golf Association has published
seine helpful hints.
TAKING SHELTER– Don't stay out of doors unless necesSary.
Seek shelter hi buildings, vehicles, or Wm-
tiona which offer protection from lightning
such as: dwellings on other buildingspro-
tected from lightning, large metal frame
buildings; large unprotected buildings;
automobileswith metal tons and bodies:
trailers with metal bodies .and streets
shielded by nearby buildings:
When this isn't possible, seek shelter in:
dense woods (avoid ISOLATED TREES);
pressed areas (avoid hilltops and high
areas) and smal 1.1--TrTFC'ofeald–bTaldings,
tents,, and shelters in LOW areas' (avoid un-
protected buildings in high areas).
Certain locations are extremely hazar-
dous during thunderstorms. They are; open
fields; athletic fields; golf courses; swimm-
ing pools, lakes?, seashore; wire fences,
clotheslines, overhead wires railroad
tracks; isolated trees and hilltops and wide
Open spabes,
• Ip the above locations it is very hazardous
to be riding tractors or other ,farm
machinery or golf carts, scooters, bikes and
motorbikes.
• Golfers who own electric carts, may add to
their protection by "one of these two
methods.
1. Md a whip antenna of a length that will
reach above the heads of the riders. The
antenna should be positively bonded to the
steel section of the part.
2. Add a metal top or canopy (Steel topped
autothobiles are practically lightning proof.
The danger from lightning cannot be stress-
ed enough–Keep an–eye_and_ear nn the
weather. •' •

Members must find ways to meet the
needs and aspirations of younger church
women if the United Church Women
organization is to celebrate a 50th anniver-
sary, according to Bev Robinson, a student
minister at Exeter United Church who
spoke at a recent UCW gathering. She pro-
voked laughter with her reminders of
"We've never done it that way before," "If
they don't like us, they don't have to join
us,','and "We've always done it that way,
and I know this won't work." Her challenge
echoed the Anniversary theme of "Called to
Respond in Such a Mite as This," and was
discussed by buzz groups. Suggestions and
comments were later exchanged.
