Driving a motorized golf cart is really just like driving a car and the proper rules of courtesy and safety must be adhered to. By far the most dangerous aspect of golf is lightning Out of all the injuries related to golf, lightning is the one that causes the most deaths and serious injuries. Last week wg had our first severe thunderstorm of the year and now is the perfect time to brush up on what to do if•caught out on the course in lightning. Golf associations urge all players, caddies, and fans, as well as tournament sponsors, to become aware of the dangers of lightning.and to take the proper precautions. Golf ts, influenced significantly by the weather and golfers are constantly aware of wind conditions, changes in temperature, and humidity. Most thunderstorms do not descend upon us so rapidly that we cannot avoid the danger. If you pay attention to the color of the sky, the direction of the wind, the development of thunder Clouds, and the distant rumble of the thunder you can be safely in the clubhouse before the danger is too great. A large open space such as a golf course is a dangerous place in a lightning storm and when you start .swinging those steel -shafted clubs and holding up umbrellas the hazards multiply. Although some people have doubts to the safety of metal spikes it has been determined that metal spikes in golf shoes don't increase the hazard of lightning to any great extent. Discontinuing play during Lightning is covered right in the rules of golf. Players have the right to stop play if they think lightning threatens them, even if the tournament has not been delayed officially. During a tournament, discontinued play is signalled by three consecutive sounds of a horn. and when it is deemed safe to continue, then a prolonged sound of the horn, repeated once is the signal to regime play. Don't stay out of doors during a thunderstorm unless absolutely necessary. It is best to seek shelter in buildings, vehicles, or protected locations. The safest places to go in order of safety are dwellings or buildings protected from lightning, large metal frame buildings, large unprotected buildings, automobiles with metal tops (they areractically lightning proof), streets shielded by nearby buildings. if you are stranded outdoors go into dense woods but avoid isolated trees. Low lying areas are much safer than high ground so avoid hilltops. Small shelters such as a tent or shed in a low •lying area will offer some protection but avoid small shelters on hills. The most hazardous places to be during thunder and lightning are open fields, athletic fields, golf courses." swimming pools, lakes, seashores, and areas near wire fences, overhead wires, and railroad track}, along with the afore mentioned isolated trees and hilltops. If you are in any of these extremely hazardous Locations Ws even worse if you're on tractors, farm machinery, or golf carts, bikes and other open vehicles. Lightning protected shelters are common on most golf courses and these shelters should be protected under the guidelines'of the Canadian Standards Association with lightning rods. Lightning protection for most carts can be provided in two ways. First a •. whip antenna should be positively bonded to the steel section of the cart and the antenna should reach well over the heads of the passengers. Also a metal top or canopy can make the cart almost lightning proof. Lightning is a serious threat to golfers during our summer months and notices are posted to familiarize golfers .with the dangers. Take the' time to become familiar with the facts and play safely. The spring mixed two -ball on May 19 was won by Deb Core and Cam Doig. 'Gail Price and John Watt won the booby prize, . and Doug Elliott •and Mary Doig won the low score on the hidden hole. Brian Cook won closest to the pin and Rob Armstrong had the longest drive.
