Not looking at this from a rules standpoint or anything other than the most possible people seeing it and a dialogue opened that might keep someone from being incinerated. We were very lucky yesterday at our club monthly and under the circumstances things would probably play out the same way again if the storm came in as quickly at the same point in the round........., but it'll make you think. Following is a post from the Y'ville thread:
Honestly never heard who won yesterday, but in my mind we are all winners since none of us got struck by the lightning bolt that hit the Disco near the end of the round of First Sunday Singles yesterday. Unfreaking believable when you realize that it struck in the middle of the triangle of three groups of us that were still on the course, setting fire to the tree it struck and throwing enormous strips of bark in every direction. Everyone had their own story but suffice to say it sure dominated the post round conversation. In retrospect we should have bailed on the round earlier, but most groups were either playing their last holes or right at it, making us push the envelope more than we would have otherwise.
Yup, when the lightning, thunder and ozone smell are all simultaneous it's way too close. :eek:
