Golf safety also involves protection from too much sun exposure. Also, being aware of thunderstorms in your area and proper procedure of evacuating the course in case of a lighting strike. It is also very important for your body to have fluids on warm days so you don’t get dehydrated. Always make sure players ahead of you are out of your range before hitting your ball.

If you hear fore make yourself as small as possible or crouch behind your golf bag, tree, etc.
