Explanation:

Lightning is an electrical discharge. Metals are good conductors of electricity, while plastics are insulators. When lightning occurs, electricity will flow through conductive materials. The golfer with the metal club provides a better path for the lightning current compared to the caddy with the plastic - handled umbrella.

The golfer is at greater risk.
