If you hear thunder, it´s time to get off the golf course, get out of the water, or bring the boat to shore. When there´s 20 sec between flash and bang, the lightning is 4 miles away (5 sec/mi) and you should seek shelter.
If caught in the open in a lightning storm, stay away from solitary trees and poles, metal, including any you are wearing, water, and other people. Get to a ditch or low lying area and squat down until you´re sure the lightning is gone. Lightning likes to strike the highest thing around; don´t let it be you.
