The pilot stated that he was attempting to land on runway 09, and the airplane touched down at a taxiway entrance, about 1/3 of the way down from the approach end of the runway. He stated that he applied the brakes on the wet grass runway, then decided to go around, but decided too late. He said that at the end of the runway, he lifted off, but the right wing hit a road speed limit sign, which damaged the leading edge of the right wing. He landed the airplane 300 feet from the end of the runway. The pilot had only about 4 hours of flight time in this make and model of airplane.
Probable Cause: the pilot's delay in aborting the landing. Factors related to the accident were: the lack of braking action on the wet grass runway, the pilot's lack of experience in the make and model of airplane, and the sign near the departure end of the runway.
