Actually, it was Lee Treviño, one of my favorites.  The quote is:

"In case of a thunderstorm, stand in the middle of the fairway and
hold up a one iron. Not even God can hit a one iron."

As I recall, he would carry one in his bag if rain was predicted just
so he could tell the joke.

He really *was* struck by lightning during a tournament in Chicago in
1975, an incident which has caused him recurring and severe back
problems.  Apparently he had forgotten the '1' that day.

FWIW and WAAAAY off topic.  Unless, of course, Lee shoots Olympus in
addition to his 1 iron . . . ;o)
