If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron.

Summary

This humorous quote is often attributed to professional golfer Lee Trevino. It is an exaggerated expression of frustration that reflects on the inherent difficulty of hitting a 1-iron in golf. Traditionally, the 1-iron club has a reputation for being notoriously challenging to use effectively due to its long shaft and small clubhead. The quote suggests that even God would struggle to hit a 1-iron, implying that it requires exceptional skill and luck to hit the ball well with that club.
