Shouldn't gold courses build a few sheds and place them in strategic areas?

Sounds like the foursome was trying to squeeze in the 18th after hearing the siren 10 minutes earlier. If you don't want to leave the course after hearing the warning, all the shelters in the world aren't going to help.

Agreed, but again, with the article you posted, it is unlikely that the course in question is going to put up a shelter 50 yards to the pin the the18th fairway.
And yes, anywhere in and around the turn at Champlain is a hike to safety. But most locals would have the common sense to heed the warnings as the area gets pounded by t-storms frequently. A hut around 10 would make a lot of sense. The bbq area is already clear and there is a lot of space between 9 and 10.
I think you could probably get stuck at most courses, at least the ones i play. We don't mess with lightning but sometimes it comes out of nowhere and it can definitely get scary.
We were in a scramble last year when a massive storm hit, while i was running to the car in the parking lot to put my bag away a strike hit a transformer on a pole no more than 30 feet from me, scared the living christ out of me.
...and since you must always be the tallest of your group, I won't run too to get some shelter...Quote:
