Narrative:
After landing at montgomery orange county (mgj) airport, the rollout went past the exit by about 50-70 ft. I decided to exit onto grass and taxi back to the taxiway. My nosewheel fell into a non visible hole bending the propeller. The hole appeared to be a sink hole about 1 ft by 2 ft with grass covering it. I should have proceeded to the next taxiway.
