Rain is no stranger to golfers, but lightn¬ ing is a great danger. A golfer with a metal club raised in the air is an ideal lightning rod. The Culpeper golf team had just begun competition with Warren County when a t hunderstorm approached. The rain was a godsend for some like John Jones who forgot his putter and was forced to putt with a three-iron. Others, like Kevin Batten who forfeited a birdie putt, were quite dis¬ appointed. John Moran experienced a shock when a lightning bolt struck in his vicinity. Yet he was still disappointed in surrendering his even par.lt soon became evident that play was futile, so they loaded the bus and headed back to Culpeper.
