I'm looking for a carrier (all states) that provides a discount to golf courses etc... for having a lightning detection system.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Please explain
Just what is a lightning detection system and how does it operate. I have never heard of such a thing. Detecting lightning prior to a strike sounds extremely interesting. Thank you. Dar Novak

DTN-METEORLOGIX
METEORLOGIX (402-255-8133) HAS AN ONLINE LIGHTNING DETECTION SYSTEM THAT TRACKS REAL TIME LIGHTNING STRIKES AND UPDATES EVERY 40-60 SECONDS. GOLF COURSES, LANDSCAPE COMPANIES, STADIUMS, ETC...USE IT FOR SAFETY. A FACILITY WOULD BE ALERTED ABOUT EVERY INIDVIDUAL STRIKE THAT HAS CAME DOWN IN A 30-60-OR 100 MILE RADIUS. I HAVE HEARD OF ONE INSURANCE COMPANY THAT GIVES A DISCOUNT ON THE GENERAL LIABILITY FOR THOSE THAT HAVE A REAL TIME LIGHTNING SYSTEM.
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY OTHER INSURANCE CARRIERS THAT OFFER THIS DISCOUNT TO GOLF COURSES?

Cost of Real Time Lightning Prediction
Yes, The Lightning and Weather is very inexpensive and runs about $1700 (402-255-8133 for more information) per year. The discount that the insurance company is offering for those who have a lightning prediction is $1500. So the Golf course or facility is more or less getting a free Weather Prediction system. Great deal for them and good sell for agents. But, I'm only aware of one company providing such a discount.
