In support of an earlier post, where I stated that men are more likely to be struck by lightning, especially golfers, I offer the following.
On the 25th of October, a golfer who was enjoying his weekly round of golf with friends at the Tanah Merah Country Club near Singapore got an unexpected handicap as he neared the end of an 18-hole game. Soh Lye Huat, who owns a garment company, was struck by lightning and transported to the local hospital in a coma. 
The country club manager, Roy Higgs, had noticed the skies were turning a little dark and begun the process of checking with Meteorological Services to determine if a warning should be issued when the 57-year-old was hit.
While your chances of having an up close and personal experiencing with a bolt of lightning are not that great, with approximately 16 million thunderstorms around the globe each year there is plenty of opportunity, especially if you’re a golfer.
Take cover at the first sign of a storm cloud forming and you’ll live to enjoy another round.
