EAST LAKE, Ga. (CBS46) -- Multiple people were struck by lighting at East Lake Gold Club on Saturday afternoon.

DeKalb Fire reported a total of five individuals -- including four adult males, one female juvenile. Their conditions were not immediately known, but all were transported to area hospitals with "non-life threatening injuries."

Officers responded to the incident at 4:48 p.m. at the golf club located in the 2500 block of Alston Drive SE. They say the injured individuals were beneath a tree when lightning struck. They were said to have been seeking shelter from rain during a thunderstorm.

"The safety of our fans, players and partners is of the utmost importance," said the PGA Tour.

Due to the incident, the third round has been suspended for the day, and will resume on Sunday at 8 a.m. ET.

Thank God!  No life-threatening injuries.

Sounds a bit like these people should have been told to leave the green, sounds like everyone should have.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

I wonder if the announcers actually lost their usual catatonic level of subdued reporting and actually raised their voices above a suppressed mumble.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I heard during the broadcast that these folks were seeking shelter near the trees. Unfortunately, there's really no place on a golf course that many people (probably several thousand spectators) can go during a thunderstorm. Not enough room in the clubhouse for everyone.

It just goes to show, "Never go under a tree during a lightning storm".

Trees are conductors of electricity so they act as lightning rods.

These people were not struck by lightning. They were injured from the shock wave and wooden shrapnel blown from the lightning struck tree.

My ex-boss, an avid golfer, would say, "it never rains on the golf course."  He would be one of those who would still be playing during a thunderstorm.
