Because people are not quite so susceptible to induced charges,

An interesting supposition but not born out by the facts. It takes
100 mA to kill you.

Humans have been struck by lightning and survived, sometimes more than
once. Golfers are particularly susceptible, as they often raise their
own lightning conductors into the air.

But what that actually says is:

"Golfers are probably at greatest risk, because they are likely to be
caught in the open far from shelter."

Also, presumably, because they shelter under trees that are much taller
than them, are nicely conductive, and have a great root system to, er,
earth them.

I doubt if it's got anything to do with their clubs.
