The sirens...
I'm a short distance from a golf course. On top of the clubhouse is a weather station with a device for monitoring lightning strikes. I've read that Coral Springs (not far from me) is the lightning capital of the world. It's where marshland easterly winds meet ocean westerly winds, causing temperature and humidity changes.The weather station system has sirens (that can be heard a mile away) to alert golfers of impending danger.
It was dark when I got up to go walking, only to hear rains and the sirens around 6:30am
Thinking who the fuk plays golf in the dark?
Maybe they should put a timer on that device!
A clip of the weather radar showing the storm this morning. It traveled across the state west to east with most of the rain during the night.

Or for staff who scurry around in the shadows preparing for the day.
If monoculture crops can be harvested day and night, perhaps much scurrying occurs on golf courses overnight to maximise perfect, undisturbed playing time during the day.
Perhaps the service extends to a wider area for a purpose, like golfers not being exposed to a fried early morning walker and police cordons on their way to the golf course.
But maybe you're right. Maybe they didn't think to add a timer, or it wasn't worth the price.
I read Floridians are eaten by alligators as they stroll for walks.
