« Last post by Tom on June 18, 2013, 10:27:00 PM »Both my daughters worked most of their late teen years as Lifeguards for the City of Olathe Parks and Rec at the Oregon Trail Park pool directly behind my old house. Before they worked there, they and Cindy spent the Summers there as well. Being so close to the pool and knowing the director of the pools and guards, we knew their procedures regarding many issues, from how to deal with underwear wearing drunken patrons, to when to clear the pools and deck when thunderstorms were in the area. Basically, the pool and deck are cleared immediately when any lightning is seen, or when any thunder is heard.
My card at Swope saw lightning flashes while we were halfway up hole 4. We were called in while we were playing hole 7. We could not hear the horn, but Pete and Kevin came and got us. Since none of us were killed or maimed, and no near misses happened, the call must have been made early enough, this time.
I think perhaps since we live in a part of the country that has some of the strongest thunderstorm activity, we should have our own death/injury by lightning during Disc Golf event avoidance procedure. That would make the decision of when to call the players in easier for the TDs. If phone or interweb technology shows exact locations of strikes, perhaps the players could be called in based on a distance from the nearest strike to the course. I don't know what that number would be, but I'd guess it would be around 10 miles.
I thought the tournament was fun and the courses looked great. I tried to thank all the staff I saw, but to those I missed, and even to those I did see, THANKS!

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. This thread is like a fine wine, baby!

Has anyone inquired about borrowing or renting one of those lightning detectors from the city or the local parks and rec departments for your tournaments? Just curious as I'm going to talk to ours to see if it's an option to help keep the competitors safe. Thanks
It may be worth checking with a school district, too. I know our football coaches used to have them and, in the off season, what school wouldn't be amenable to some extra income?
Cool, great idea. I work at Pittsburg State University and will check with our Athletics Dept. tomorrow as well. Thanks for the suggestion.
