Flaming Golf Clubs

Is your golf swing a fire hazard? Scientists at UC Irvine say they’ve confirmed what firefighters had suspected for years - titanium coated golf clubs can cause vegetation on the golf course to burst into flames. The Orange County register says golf clubs are now being blamed for several golf course fires. If the club hits a rock, it can create sparks that burn hot enough and long enough to spark a fire.
