Narrative:
The pilot reported that the aircraft bounced after touchdown on the grass airstrip. The pilot stated that he applied full power for a go-around, however, due to a nose high attitude and not enough airspeed, the aircraft stalled and the left wing dropped. The aircraft collided with the ground and came to rest prior to reaching the end of the airstrip.

Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed during an attempted go-around.
