Jamie Donaldson out of action after chainsaw accident...

Jamie Donaldson does a Norman! Out of action for weeks, possibly longer...

Mum!!! I've got a really big owwweeee!!!

Jamie Donaldson has gone and virtually cut his finger off with a chainsaw. Struck with a sudden attack of complete boredom, the Ryder Cup star decided to "mess some shit up", but didn't account for the fact that the chainsaw can be a pretty uncompromising unit. Anyway, the 40-year-old, who won the point that sealed the 2014 Ryder Cup for Europe, shared a picture of the nasty injury on Twitter.

It looks very, very nasty and, as we can see, Donaldson required stitches. He's now likely to be out of action until February's Dubai Desert Classic.

"So folks, in my time off decided to have a fight with a chainsaw and lost," Jamie said on Twitter. 

Pontypridd-born Donaldson, who was raised in Macclesfield (where is this going? – Ed), has three wins on the European Tour. He joins Greg Norman in the list of golfers who've ended up second best to the chainsaw. While we wait for an explanation as to what Jamie was really doing with his chainsaw, here's what Greg Norman said about his encounter:  "When I'm on a ranch, I love to run the bulldozer, the grader, whatever. I like doing stuff. I never ask anybody to do that for me if I can do it myself," he said.

Highly irresponsible, young man. You're a golf ledge, you can't be wandering about with half your arm hanging off.
