19 golfers with one blow!

Really, guys. Don't be in the open when there is a thunderstorm...

I thought that was common sense? [Roll Eyes]

That duel is one of my favorite stories in the Silmarillion.

He's the ONLY one who can hit a one-iron.

a friend of my parents' was hit by lightning on a golf course about 10 years ago. She survived, and went through a lot of recuperation. She still plays golf. Actually, my mom told me that a few months ago there was another thunderstorm when this woman was out on the golf course. An attendant at the club drove a golf cart to her, and she got in. He drove it too quickly and she fell out when he turned a curve and broke a bone.

I don't know if God hates golfers in general. Maybe it's just those that play in tournaments on the Sabbath. This strike was on a Saturday, you know, the actual Sabbath, so, I wouldn't put it past him to make a point. Of course, if you believe the Sabbath is on Sunday, you could look at it as either retribution for playing on all those other Sundays, or a preemptive strike for the next day.

Someone in that group gave him the finger. God had to work on his aim a bit.

I think God finally got fed up with golfers calling themselves athletes.

Strange that the odds of getting hit by lightning just skyrocketed.

Yup, that's what they deserve for playing golf.

At least one of those golfers is a friend of the couple whose cabin we stayed at last weekend. They told us that one of the golfers was in a coma, and they asked us to keep him in our prayers. Sounds like he pulled through okay, though.

Sheesh, what a downer, Jon Boy.

Seriously, I'm glad he's okay. I can't imagine the feeling.

But he's been endowed with strange "golf powers"!

And has his own agenda....
