Not one to shirk a challenge, Johnson attempted to take on the difficult approach shot at Surrey's Foxhill Golf Club... only to fall flat on his face.

The former Liverpool and Chelsea man was taking the chance to unwind with a relaxing 18 holes, but perhaps didn't anticipate his efforts going so wayward.
