Watch this video of golfer Ian Poulter take his second shot on the 8th hole in today's Volvo World Match Play tournament in Spain. He takes his swing, then his feet slip when he tries to lean back to see where the ball went, and he takes a tumble down the hill.
Note that the ball was lying on a hill with high grass and bushes, so it was certainly a difficult shot for anyone. Unfortunately for Poulter, he had the misfortune of doing it in front of television cameras.
However, the good news is, not only was Ian Poulter OK, but he went on to win the tournament. So there's a lesson to be learned: it doesn't matter how you look when you win, it just matters that you did win.
