The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertisements.

**Dan** (1:02)
My name is Dan. I was injured in a car accident. I don't know how any of this works. I'd never been hit like this before. Brown and Crouppen has been there for me from day one. They came out, met at my house. It was more about me as an individual. It was more about taking care of me. It was more about representing me. It was nice to have a partner help me navigate some of these waters and that feels great.

This is a cheating story in a golf tournament of all time. I was told by some insider sources in the St. Louis area about a true story that just occurred at Wing Haven Country Club's member-member championship this past weekend.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:51)
Okay, so when was that? Was it last weekend?

**SPEAKER_7** (2:56)
Must have been. Let's see. Yeah, it would have been...

**SPEAKER_1** (2:58)
Wing Haven's member-member championship.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:03)
Strap in, ladies and gentlemen. I'm also going to keep all names anonymous out of respect for the people involved. And I'm going to refer to the person in the story as Golfer Ted.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:13)
It happened July 13th.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:15)
Okay, July 13th.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:15)
So Golfer is playing at the member-member championship at Wing Haven. He's a pretty incredible player. He's a plus-two handicap and played some Division I in college. During the tournament, there's a hole in one pot. So if you make an ace, you win the pot of money. So Golfer is in the first tee time of the day. And he found this out before the tournament started. He shows up and tells the group before they tee off, Hey, I have this important phone call that's going to come in later. More specifically, he said that his grandma is in the hospital with poor health, and he has to take this call when it comes.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:46)
Of course. Listen, grandma's in the hospital. Nobody would ever make that up. Right? Nobody would ever make up that grandma's in the hospital.
I wouldn't want that karma on me. No.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:56)
And today I'm hitting for grandma. You know, I'm swinging for grandma. So sweet.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:01)
You don't want that on you. If grandma's not really sick, you know?

**SPEAKER_6** (4:07)
They're all like, yeah, dude, that's fine. No problem. They start playing and they get to the third hole. At the end of the third hole, golfer says they just got the call. So he's going to run up to hole four, hit his tee shot real quick to keep the pace of play going. By the way, hole number four is a part three, and it's probably the most famous hole on the entire course. So the group gets up to four tee box, they ask golfer, hey man, how'd you hit your shot? He said, word for word, I thinned it, but there's a divot on the green. They're all like, okay, cool. They get ready, they go and hit their shots. Lo and behold, they go down to the green. There's golfer's ball in the hole.
