Viral video shows lightning strike a golf ball at Topgolf San Antonio

In late May, 18-year-old Tomas Gomez was with friends and family at Topgolf here in San Antonio. Gomez wanted “to hit one last shot, then leave.”

Asking a friend to record the last shot of the game, it was when Gomez launched the ball and that’s when a bolt of lightening struck the ball in mid-air.

Nearly a week ago, Topgolf shared the video to their official corporate account with the caption of “88 MPH” in reference to the Back to the Future film when Marty McFly had to travel 88MPH in the DeLorean to hit the exact time the lightning hit the clocktower sending voltage to a power line. If you know, you know!
