Lightning strikes fairway on 11th hole at Kampen Golf Course in Indiana

You’re about to hit your first shot off of the tee, and all of the sudden, the air horn sounds. Lightning in the area. Frustrating, right?

Absolutely. But also necessary, as reinforced by what went down yesterday at Kampen Golf Course in West Lafayette, Indiana. Here was the scene at the 11^th hole after lightning struck the fairway:

Safety first. Cliché? Sure, but some clichés are commonly heard for a reason. Thankfully, everyone is safe, and we have a sweet photo to show for the inclement weather in central Indiana.
