A golfer in Ohio has described himself as "very lucky and blessed" after surviving a lightning strike he inadvertently captured on video while playing with friends. The incident happened last week when the group was caught in a storm and he began filming an attempt to free a stuck golf cart, only to be struck himself moments later, an alarming reminder of the dangers of remaining outdoors during thunderstorms.

The footage opens with the golfer laughing at three friends who are soaked through and struggling to push the cart up a small grassy incline before the strike occurs. He is said to be recovering from the incident, though the article does not detail the extent of any injuries he sustained.
