: off in the distance. They immediately pulled off and went inside a home
: that was being built. I ask if they were kidding, as the group behind
: us was playing through, giving us a look of disbelief. I grabbed my bag

: in the area. Everyone on the course had continued their rounds except
: those guys. Anyone else that scared of thunder?

I am very respectful of lightning storms and I go by the sound of
thunder as evidence of risk.
There was a woman struck by lightning at a local course - she survived
but had a long convalescence. The remarkable thing was that she was
standing in bright sunshine when she was struck - the storm was "way
over there".
I don't think lightning "plays fair" or plays by any rules whatever.
