foozle
Clumsy stroke, golf
Foozle means to bungle or botch something, especially in golf—a badly misplayed shot: He foozled his approach and landed in the bunker.
The word sounds as clumsy as the action it describes.
Outside golf, foozle appears occasionally for any fumbled attempt: I completely foozled the job interview.
