I certainly don't want to be a doubting Thomas here but...well I guess it is possible....but then I got to thinking about it. A spark is a spark. Unless it flew into a cup of gasoline it is still a spark and there the guy is with shoes and hopefully some brains and could easily of stopped things with the first whisp of smoke. ...or he could have toss'd his cigar down to make the shot, things got crazy and he noticed the fire on his way to the next tee..ooops. Just sayin'.
