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 and in the Instagram post below.
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.”
