If I wrapped a golf club in aluminum foil, dipped it in potassium hydroxide, and then hit a golf ball which was wrapped in aluminum foil, will I feel any shock? What if I did not hold the grip (rubber) and gripped the shaft (steel)? Is there a way I could generate a shock?

To feel the full effect of the shock from the golf club it is best to stand on a mountain peak during an electrical storm. (They say)

Sometimes joking like this can cause harm
