Recently a director of an organization was playing the golf with his peer at the green of a reputed golf club in Singapore.
There was just a drizzly rain and no thunder storm.
He raised his golf stick and started to swing.
Suddenly a light struck him.
It was a lightning.
His cap, hairs, the sin around the neck and his back were burnt.
Between his chest and his stomach, there were two stroke of injuries.
After unconscious for the past 1o hours, he finally awake, recover and in stable condition.
It was a unbelievable experience to escape from death or being paralysed.
In this incident, shall we have any precaution steps to avoid being strike by lightning especially when we have outdoor activities?

This is another lesson that everyone should learn about, if there started to rain, even it is just a drizzling rain, you should not stay in the open field where you are the only highest object there, especially when you swing you golf stick, it look like you are raising your hand when someone ask you a question. That is why the lightning choose someone who raise their hand high and especially when you are in the field and can be easily seen by God. 
Just kidding, but anyway, staying in a open field when is raining is very dangerous. So, hide yourself under the roof will be safer.

We should stop our outdoor activities once there is a drizzling rain or when there is cloudy day.
If the God really want to punish us by striking us with the lightning, we can not avoid from this disaster at all.
Hopefully, we shall pray more to save us from being struck by lightning.
ha! ha! ha!

Absolutely as it is a well known fact that as soon of any threat of lightening that we should go inside for cover as it can be deadly.
As for the person you mention it certainly is quite a scare and truly blessed not to have side effects from the incident.

From this lesson, we should be more caution during the cloudy and drizzling dyas.
In the past, few women were killed by the lightning too.
When it was raining, they hid under the tree.
When the lightning struck the tree, their bra with the metal wire attracted the lightning and killed all of them.
There worst burning part of their body was their chest.
