Just when you think you’ve seen it all.
On Friday at a Topgolf venue in San Antonio, 18-year-old Tomas Gomez was hitting golf balls with his brother, sister and some friends while a storm was building in the area.
While hitting balls from a ground-level bay, Gomez launched a ball that, while in mid-flight, got struck by a bolt of lightning.
That really happened. You can see the video here.
Gomez’s friend Arlette Ibarra was shooting video on her phone and captured the one-in-a-million moment.
“I was just glad that it [lightning] hit the ball instead of me,” Gomez told Dailymail.com.
A visibly stunned Gomez falls back a bit before catching his balance. The Daily Mail reports that Topgolf didn’t clear the facility but did ask that everyone go inside.
Unfazed, Gomez said: “I will definitely be back as soon as I can.”
