According to the pilot, after an uneventful flight, he verified the current weather conditions about 10 miles from the airport and subsequently entered the airport traffic pattern, at which point he chose to land on a grassy area between the runway and taxiway. The airplane touched down normally, but during the landing roll, the pilot saw an obstacle in the middle of the grassy area. The pilot was unable to react before the right main landing gear impacted a knoll, and the airplane ground looped. The right main landing gear collapsed, and the right wing sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

Probable Cause: The pilot's selection of unsuitable terrain for landing, which resulted in impact with a knoll and a subsequent ground-loop.

This was sadly me Nev. Over 3 years ago. Struck an unmarked hazard on a landing area I thought I knew better. 99% of the time I had always landed east to west, came in this time west to east.
On roll out saw the hazard, decided it was a prop strike nose over waiting to happen. Struck the right wheel. Wham, bam, collapsed the right gear and slip to a stop. Only thing hurt was my pride, and the plane.
