In my case, it was a rainy day, and I just wanted to test out an old Callaway Hawkeye 3W. So, I just wore some cross-training shoe with grooved soles.

I got to the course, and the range was closed. But, a scramble was ending, so the starter let three of us go out if we walked.

On the second hole, a par 3 with deep bunkers to the right of the green, I ended up about halfway up a steep hill from the bunker. On about a 60 degree incline, I tried to take a stance, and I slipped on the downswing, barely moved the ball, and made a two-step backward jump into the bunker. I tried the shot again, but literally slid down the slope in a backward standind position before I could hit the ball.

I ended up just picking up on the hole, and had a sore right hip when I got home.

(Happier note: on the last hole we played, I hit the Hawk Eye 3W off the tee into a headwind. With carry and a little roll, it went out to 250 yds.)
