PLAYER’S MIRACULOUS ESCAPE WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES GOLF GREEN
(From Our Own Correspondent J WANGANUI, To-day. Two women players on the Seafield links had an alarming experience during a heavy thunderstorm which passed over the district yesterday. They were standing on a green preparing to putt when lightning struck the iron pin to which the flag was attached. The flash tore up the ground for nine feet as if a plough had been through it. A sheep at the edge of the green was killed instantly. The two players were uninjured, except for shock.
