To the Editor: I enjoyed reading Makdissi and Brukner's "Recommendations for lightning protection in sport",1 but I feel that in addressing an audience of renowned golf hacks the authors have made a glaring omission.

It is well known in golfing circles that the first rule of lightning self-protection on the golf course is to always carry a 1-iron in the bag and in appropriate conditions to reach for it — because not even God can hit a 1-iron!
