Dammit Jim, I'm a golfer, not an excavator! 30 feet deep, 70 feet wide in our great state of Missoura, errrr, Missouri. Tee times cancelled? NFW. **** that! Question, you're pretty much done for if a sinkhole opens up and swallows you right? http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-32856912

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I'm booking a tee time now.  This may very well be my only chance at a hole in one!


Brilliant!

Turns out there may be much more to this sinkhole. The owner decided to did further and explore, it looks as though there may be a massive system of hidden caves underneath. This kind of stuff makes me feel like a kid again.

Quote

It appears Morris' intuition has been rewarded: Crews discovered limestone formations that indicate a cavern system underneath the golf course. What remains to be seen is how expansiveness of the caves.

Edit: This course complex also hosts a Legends of Golf event attended by Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player this year.

Yes, its really nice, but $130 for a 9 hole par 3 with views is a little steep.

If you really want to get better, check out Evolvr
