Winter can be a treacherous time for everyone but when it comes to leisure activities, you would think that golf is one of the more low risk ones. And you'd be wrong.

Frozen greens and courses would usually halt play and this golfer learned the hard way that he really shouldn't have played through that day, and he would have been better off had he written off his ball after it landed on a frozen lake.

Alas, he decided to carry on, and in doing so taught us all a valuable lesson.
