WATERLOO, Ill. (AP) — When it comes to dealing with this divot, score one for golfer Mark Mihal.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/13QvcoX ) reports that the mortgage broker from Creve Coeur, Mo., is recovering after a sinkhole opened up beneath him Friday on the fairway at the 14th hole of a southwestern Illinois golf course.

The pit that swallowed him was 18 feet deep and 10 feet wide.

I HATE Illinois sinkholes!

[right way right]

God does not want this fellow to golf.
Hope he understands this.

Too bad this didn’t happen on the green of a par 3. Could’ve been his first hole in one.

The Earth sure is sucking folks up left and right of late.. or is it just me? maybe it’s why all the asteroids are showing up too..

Global warming, silly.

but did he make the green?

Doesn’t “Creve Coeur” mean “flat heart”?

It supposedly means broken heart. I don't recall how it got its name, It was named by the French before the Louisiana purchase. The city signs all have a broken heart symbol. Maybe a fur trapper got dumped by an Indian princess.

The pit that swallowed him was 18 feet deep and 10 feet wide. Pffftt!

In Texas, that's the size of a minor Sand Trap!
