Research suggests that the U.S. sees about 50 lightning fatalities a year. What happens when golfers are caught out on the course without a clear warning to evacuate was brought home at the PGA Tour’s Western Open in 1975 at Butler National Golf Club in Oak Brook, Ill.

Lightning strikes kill or injure an estimated 120 to 190 people each year in Canada.

As recently as the 1940’s, for example, the average was 329 lightning deaths a year. While the National Safety Council has estimated that as many as half the fatalities are golfers, the Government figures indicate that the number killed on golf courses is actually less than 5 percent of the total.

Saffron’s taste and iodoform-like or hay-like fragrance result from the phytochemicals picrocrocin and safranal. It also contains a carotenoid pigment, crocin, which imparts a rich golden-yellow hue to dishes and textiles.

Saffron is a shade of yellow or orange, the colour of the tip of the saffron crocus thread, from which the spice saffron is derived.

It is a sacred color in many Eastern religions. Hindu and Buddhist monks wear orange robes, and in Hinduism, orange represents fire and therefore purity; impurities are burned in fire. The color and the fruit are closely tied together; the English word for the color comes from the same word as the fruit, Yates said.

Saffron is a powerful spice high in antioxidants. It has been linked to health benefits, such as improved mood, libido, and sexual function, as well as reduced PMS symptoms and enhanced weight loss. Best of all, it’s generally safe for most people and easy to add to your diet.
