RIVAL sail EC TRIFLURAAIN PRC-ESICRCCNT HERBICIDE 1 PS This is a repeat of last year's column but I feel the subject is important enough for us to take another look at lightning on the golf course. This is thunderstorm season. Those large thunderstorm clouds can build up in no time and if you're out on the golf course you may find yourself in a dangerous situation. Golfers are very often victims of the awesome power of lightning bolts. Three well known golfers who have had first hand experience with lightning are Bobby Nichols, Jerry Heard and Lee Trevino. Needless to say, each has developed a great respect for this supercharge of electricity. In June1985, at atournament in Illinois, Nichols was stunned when a lightning bolt struck nearby. Trevino and Heard who had seen this from another hole, took shelter under an umbrella. Lightning struck a nearby pond, travelled through the ground and up Trevino's putter, whiph he was leaning on. The force knocked both men to the ground and all three golfers had to be rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, they only suffered some minor burns. lightning is a serious matter and many golfers are killed or injured each year by these highly charged bolts from the sky. Golfers are encouraged to keep an eye out for impending storms and discontinue play when there isadanger from lightning. We all know that golfers are like the proverbial mailman, no weather can keep them back, but even in the rule book, provision is made for lightning danger. "The player shall not discontinue play on account of bad weather or any other RIVAL -the new trrflurahn herbicide from Hoechst. that gives you a Choice when up till now your only triflutafin solution was Treflan' For these who have decided on trifturatin m pre -plant incorporated weed control The • . is yours.

Afternoon, when golfers are out in abundance is the time of greatest risk, with 70 per cent of deaths from lightning occurring between noon and 6 p.m If you should be caught in a thunderstorm, there are a few rules of thumb- to lessen the risk. 1. Throw down your clubs and your umbrella and stay away from the flagsUcs. You don't want to be close to or holding metal objects. 2. Avoid standing under a single tree. Single trees are ideal lightning targets and 15 per cent of lightning victims are injured while under a single tree. 3. The further you are from a water body, the better, and also stay away from small shelters and lone buildings in open areas. 4. A large building or your car is the safest place to seek shelter. 5. if you fad yourself in the middle of an open fairway which is the last place von want to be, seek out the lowest ground possible. Even a ditch or a dry culvert will be of some protection. 6. If you have no protection, and are in the middle of the fairway, stay away from your dubs and eroudi low. Wrap your arm around yourknees and loweryourhead. Then you will be as low as possible and still have very little body area on the ground. Someone in your group may be hit. Don't be afraid to help him. He is not charged and he could be suffering from bums and shockbe Very often, the stunned victim appears o dead. There is no breathing or pulse. He needs cardiopulmonary resuscitation imme- diately. it's a good idea to brush up on this life-saving skill in your first aid manual. Give lightning the respect and the leeway it deserves. Then we can enjoy our sport of golf safely. Ladies' night on Monday night went smoothly with the new committee in charge. Winners of the hidden holes were Linda Walsh and Flora Muir.
