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.

The pit that swallowed him was 18 feet deep and 10 feet wide. Understand his first words were: "Can somebody toss me my wedge?"

The pit that swallowed him was 18 feet deep and 10 feet wide. Yet, he still lipped out his 3 foot putt.

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

So, had he addressed the ball before the sinkhole opened up causing his ball to move? If so, that’s a two-shot penalty, right?
