How to use hole in a sentence?

  1. Charley Jauss:

  2. Bill Chickering:

    Anger is a very appropriate and necessary response to an injustice. But stand back now the truth, clearly spoken, is always your best weapon. Calmly spoken, it can burn a hole through the hardest heart.

  3. John Kasich:

  4. Rory McIlroy:

    I gave Rory McIlroy a lot of chances. I didn't make that many( because) I was on the wrong side of the hole all day, putting defensively, for the most part I've just been managing my game well. When I've been missing greens I've been getting up and down.

  5. Pranav Haldea:

    The fines really are not enough. If you look at it, a company would be paying only around 63,000 rupees or $1,000 - for non-compliance if they paid today, asking a company to pay that amount will not exactly burn a hole in their pockets.
