Tragedy on golf course

[need_my_wedge]

Not heard of anything like this happening before.

Horrible news from Japan: A 38-year-old woman from Sapporo died yesterday after falling into a sink hole that suddenly opened up when she was playing golf with her husband and two children. The golf course is located in Abira, a small town in Hokkaido, Northern Japan.

According to Japanese media reports, the woman was walking down a fairway when the ground caved in at around 2.30pm local time. She plunged into a hole about 1.5 meters wide and 5 meters deep. Firefighters found her lying face down on the water-filled bottom of the hole but couldn’t help her anymore.

Full story here.

A shocking story.

Noticed the hole in the ground has a ring line marked around it. Just wondered if this was a GUR marking or possibly sprayed on following the incident. A tragedy nevertheless.

The line is red and therefore must be a lateral water hazard,therefore no free drop!

Pretty sure the line was painted after, but the hole was definately a water hazzard . The hole is almost 10m in diameter at the bottom, caused by melting snow, pretty scary.
