The electrical "smell" would be something similar to ozone? Or something like an overheating electric motor?

Golf courses are notorious for lightning injuries. Once the ground is wet, that jolt will travel far from it's strike point.

Heck, I got a nice little jolt on an emergency scene in wet grass once. We were defibrillating a patient and I was about 2 feet from his legs (not touching the patient, mind you) crouching with one knee in the (wet) grass.

It didn't jolt me enough to knock me around, but it felt like I had stuck my finger in a 110V light socket. Kind of made my quadricep muscle "vibrate" for 1/2 second. Had I been crouching on my feet (leather boots with non-conductive sole), I would not have had this little experience. Mental note there...
