You say that joking but I very nearly got struck by lightning on my way back from Ft Myers.
It struck right ahead of me.

It ain't that bad Lee has been hit 3 times:

The odds of being hit by lightning in your lifetime are 1 in 300,000 thousand. Golfer Lee Trevino has been struck by lightning 3 times, including once while playing in the 1975 Western Open..!!May 9, 2012

I bet if I look out on the golf course now I'll see a few people playing.

My Mom always told me the story about her, my Dad and my Grandpa renting a boat to fish in Portage Lakes here next to the golf course. It started raining like hell and my Grandpa said look at those idiots golfing in the rain! Fishing in the rain was OK, but not golfing!

The golfers are special. They're running around holding lightning rods.

And that’s the reason why I don’t golf with Lee Trevino.



Has nothing to do with the fact that I suck!

My Dad played golf and watched it religiously, and I remember an interview with him and it struck me as odd so it's one of those useless knowledge things stuck in my head.
