WATERLOO, Illinois (CNN) -- A golfer who fell into a sinkhole is now talking about those terrifying moments.

"It was just darkness down there," said Mark Mihal. "So, I was like 'Someone get me out of here now.'"

Mihal was with friends at a course in Illinois on Friday, when a sinkhole opened beneath him. He fell 15 feet and landed on mud. He was eventually pulled to safety with a rope and taken to a hospital to treat his dislocated shoulder.

Mihal says he'll play golf again, but he doesn't know if he'll return to that course.

Hole in one? Double bogey? Does that mean he has to take a drop??? ;-)
