Doofus Of The Day #942
It seems a Swedish gentleman was at a party when he decided to try to drive a golf ball on a frozen lake. Trouble is, it wasn't quite frozen enough.
Pulled his right foot/leg, an obvious duffer-mistake...so - would've been a very, VERY bad slice, even had he managed to get the shot off.
Two major flaws, right up-front:
1) Clear-cut lack of proper footwear, especially in view of taking stance on an overly-smooth, non-traction driving surface.
2) Never, NEVER try to drive on/off black pond/lake-ice, which is by default a) relatively quite thin and fragile, this early in Winter (even in Sweden), and b) thereby overly-vulnerable to primary-single-point landing(s) of falling bodies, even from only roughly three-foot height.
Hope he was wearing a water-(as well as COLD-)resistant wristwatch...

would he be charged an extra stroke for water hazard? :-)
Looks plenty frozen enough... Just not for that.

There are always a few people who volunteer to be a meat popsicle every year.
