A Missouri man is lucky to be alive after being swallowed by a sinkhole as he stood on the 14th fairway at a golf course in southwestern Illinois Friday, the Belleville News Democrat reports.

Mark Mihal was reportedly rescued by the men he was golfing with after they lowered a rope into the 18 foot hole he fell down to hoist him up, the Belleville News Democrat reports. The man suffered a shoulder injury.

Jim, we're sorry if you had trouble getting to the Paulus lot. Additional parking was available…Read More across the street in the former Kmart lot. We've been working with the police to make sure people know where they can park if the Pualus lot is full, and we're getting some signs to direct people to the alternate parking. Please come back and give us a try!

Wow, this story really shows how selfish some people are now. The person who complained to the…Read More police better hope he/she never needs any help or compassion from anyone or any organization. They don't deserve it. You were trying to have a great event and some hater couldn't put earplugs in their ears for one night of their life if they didn't like the noise. So sad. Way to go for your efforts though! Bob
