Lightning, like water, takes the  path of least resistance. Another reason that people get struck is  that a lightning strike can be close by on flat ground without  being a direct hit. The electrical current often travels across a  persons feet from one foot to another and some of it goes through  the body. This happens frequently on golf courses.
