Mark made his first and only hole in one on Bryn Mawr Country Club's hole number 6 at the Hostmark Golf Outing in June of 2007. Witnessing this mighty feat were Kevin Schramm of Hyatt, Matt Rebro of Pepper Construction, and Chris Hill (former Planning Commissioner of Chicago). The hole was a 143 yard par 3 and Mark hit a pitching wedge.
