Little did actor R. Madhavan know that trying his hand at a game of golf will leave him stinking cold and smelly.

"Had a crazy day today. Played golf in one of the top end courses in Chicago... became so competitive that while taking aim and trying to avoid a geese. I fell backward into the lake... lol... came out stinking cold and smelly," Madhavan tweeted.

He took it in his stride.

"But showered in the locker room, bought some new clothes and went back and played. Freaked out the guy at the pro shop. But crazy adventure. No injuries or trauma at all. HADDD Funn," he further posted.
