I don't mess with lightening at all. It's only been an issue a couple times. Both times were really bad storms, 2nd time there was hail. The first time my dad and I left our clubs out on the course and ran in to the car. We went back and got the clubs after the storm passed. The 2nd time I was playing with a 3 some walking and fortunately they were in carts. I jumped into the cart and we high tailed it to the clubhouse.
People who would stay out on the golf course with lightening around are the definition of the word "idiot". If they had any club that them standing out there in an open area with a golf club or bag of clubs makes them the #1 target for the lightening, they might change their tune. It's about as stupid as trying to cross a 4lane each way highway on foot in the dark. Probably a good 80-85% of the time you'll make it but 10-15%, you die a fast but very painful death with either your body parts being torn off or all the water in your body turning to steam in a nanosecond.
