Retief Goosen, Class of 2019 Inductee, on getting struck by lightning just days before his 16th birthday: "It was really a lucky escape, should I say. You don't know where you're going to wake up when something like that happens. I didn't see any lights. I didn't see anything else. Lucky for me when I woke up I was in the hospital, and literally three weeks later, when I got my shoes back on, I was back on the golf course.
And here we are today. Still going, luckily.
I think the lightning sparked something in me. After that I really started playing some good golf... My game really took off from there, and that's when I knew golf was going to be my thing."
