I understand if you're a golf fanatic, you want to play as late into the season as possible. You might even think that the ball will bounce further on frozen ground. But here's a friendly tip, if the ball lands on a frozen water hazard, DON'T try and hit it where it lies!

This golfer didn't take that advice, and tried to chip off the ice. Not only did he miss the ball, but his "ice divot" caused the ice to crack and the golfer fell through into the lake!

That will be a penalty stroke for a lost ball!
