A 28-year-old golfer from Bergen County has tragically died after being struck by lightning while playing at the Ballyowen Golf Course in Hardyston, New Jersey.

Local reports indicate that there were concerns about the warning alarm for the storm being too quiet at the time of the incident. This unfortunate event has reignited discussions about the dangers posed by thunderstorms to outdoor sports enthusiasts, particularly during the summer months when such incidents are more common.
