MILWAUKEE - Head basketball coach Terri Mitchell took her swings at the Bog in Saukville, Wis., as part of WTMJ-Ch. 4's "Beat the Pro" contest. "Beat the Pro" host and TMJ anchor Mike Jacobs accompanied Mitchell to the course.
After a few practice swings, Mitchell knocked a seven iron just over 33 feet from the pin on the 160-yard par three eighth hole. The hole features little reward for those who aren't accurate. A thick marsh lies between the tee box and runs to within 20 yards of the green.
After connecting with her shot, Mitchell looked at the camera filming her and said, "Just outside the three-point arc," alluding to her duties with Marquette basketball.
Players who pay the entry fee of three dollars will have the opportunity to better Mitchell's shot for prizes. All proceeds go to charitable organizations. The chance to "Beat the Pro" for amateur golfers is on Saturday, June 9.
"Beat the Pro" featuring Mitchell will air the following Saturday, June 16 on WTMJ-Ch. 4.
