1 in 33.8

The current world homicide rate is 7.6 murders per 100,000 people which translates to a .0076% chance per year. Assuming a 100 year lifespan that would theoretically mean a .76% chance of getting murdered in your lifetime, but that is totally off from the true value because likelihood changes based on many factors, the most basic of which include location and age. I don't know where the person who wrote 1 in 33.8 (2.96%) got that statistic but by my math that is an extreme overestimate unless you live in southern Africa or Central America.

What are the odds of being both stuck by lightning and hitting a hole in one in golf?

These are independent events, so the probability of both of them happening would be the probability of one multiplied by the probability of the other. According to insurance odds, the probability of an average golfer getting a hole in one in any given round is 1/3,125. The probability of being struck by lightning is 1/576,000. Thus the probability of both of these things happening is 1/(3,125 x 576,000) = 1/1,800,000,000 or one in 1.8 billion.
