Heck we feel earthquakes here all the time!
Golfing??? He's fine!!! Unless he was standing next to a tall statue or something like that!!!! Fissures just don't open up very often!!!
I hope everyone is fine. Since we do have them more often here in California, our building and roads and bridges and everything are built to handle it much better. Taller buildings are built on rockers to be able to withstand the pressure. No brick schools or buildings around here, those bricks tumble like crazy in earthquakes!
