Video: Golfer's shot ricochets into own family jewels

Next time you think you've had a bad day on the course, remember it could be worse, you could be Jacques Kruyswijk.

The South African found himself behind a tree during the first round of the Sunshine Tour's Voldacom Origins, and with the foot wedge out of the question, he hit his escape shot into the worst possible location, directly into said tree and then into his own groin.

After making a triple-bogey 7 on the hole, he somehow managed to make five birdies down the stretch, carding a 69 on the day.
