sorry -- this site is under heavy guard -- if you don't want to
register, Jimmy Ellis, 53, who played as both a pro and an amateur and
was a 3x all-American in golf at Georgia Southern (and also owned
several Western Sizzlin' steakhouses in Memphis), was the apparent
victim of a lightning strike while dove hunting in a field near U.S.
64...

Elsewhere in the lightning-strikes news:
GRAPELAND, Texas (AP) ~
More than 30 high school football players and coaches were injured,
two critically, when lightning struck near their practice field
Tuesday evening, authorities said.
The bolt struck as practice for the team at Grapeland High School in
east Texas was winding down, according to radio station KBHT.
"This occurred just out of the blue, no warning. It's not like
lightning was flashing and building up," Grapeland Police Chief Roger
Dickey said. "It just caught everybody off guard and it had already
hit before anybody knew it."
Both of the critically injured were players. All the injured were
being treated at hospitals. They complained of soreness, abdominal
pain and headaches -- "just severe pain all over their bodies,"
hospital spokeswoman Rebecca Berkley said.
Grapeland is about 120 miles southeast of Dallas.

and yet all the details of both stories -- near Grapeland, dove
hunting near U.S. 64, etc -- sound like country western songs to me...

White balls. White birds. It makes sense in an odd way.
Doves, you know, are just white pidgeons.
