Your worst sporting disaster ever?

Tiger Woods somehow managed a 10 on a Par 3 hole at The Masters yesterday.

What is the worst sporting disaster you've ever seen, or even better, been involved in?

What happens when you mistake the putter for the wedge, easy as you get old.

I recall playing in a midweek snooker league match one night, I was in my thirties & fancied myself as a bit handy.

My opponent polled up aged about 8, wearing a waistcoat, dicky bow & all the gear. I could not help but laugh, who did he think he was? I broke off, he cleared up, & that was that. As it happened, he turned out to be a budding Pro, his name was Anthony Hamilton.

Another week a kid turned up in a wheelchair, & had to use a rest for every shot due to his seated position & a dodgy arm. Same result.

Scarred me for life.

Mike Tyson being KO'd by Buster Douglas must be right up there.

England losing to Norway was another cracker.

I played for about a season for the scratch team.
I did ok early on

We then played at Alfreton golf club, a shoddy place which bizarrely was 11 holes.
I, as the highest handicapper 6 , was off last.
My opponent was off 9 and had one arm.

You know the rest

Man Utd having to change their kit at half time at The Dell because they couldn't see each other and were therefore 3-0 down was pretty special.

Vague memory of 7 out of the bunker at the British open? Tommy Nagasaki??.

watching Stoke losing 7 nil at home to Birmingham when the sixth and seventh went in even the Stoke supporters cheered then vented their frustration at the final whistle by rampaging the executive suite
It worked Peter Coates sold up to a Icelandic consortium who set a solid foundation before Saint Peter bought them out when he got all his money from 365 who then took us to the promised land for a ten year stint

I was playing off my 20 handicap at a local par 72 golf course.....

I completed the first 17 holes in 72 shots. My first three drives off the 18th went out of bounds, and I managed to take 13.

Shot 85, or 7 under par, and was gutted.

Ha, great shout, what a disaster that was. I vividly recall Peter Alliss going bonkers about his stupidity.
