Golf: Fairway sinkhole swallows golfer
WATERLOO – It sure wasn’t the hole-in-one Mark Mihal had in mind.
While golfing with friends at the Annbriar Golf Course on Friday, Mihal, 43, a mortgage broker from Creve Coeur, Mo., abruptly dropped into the ground on the fairway of the 14th hole. It was the first time a person – and not a ball – has disappeared beneath the turf in the course’s 20-year history.
It also was the first time in the memory of folks who study sinkholes in Illinois that a person has fallen into one.
