Golfers are used to birdies on the course, but planes are a different matter, of course.
So when a single-engine plane crashed on the Mona Vale Golf course near Sydney, Australia, on Sunday afternoon, it made quite an impression on the club members.
“The plane came in really low over the top of our heads, and there was no propeller movement. It didn’t even sound like an engine was on,” golf club member Callum Nicholls told the Manly Observer.
Nicholls said the pilot “banked around the corner here to obviously try and come down the 15th,” but lost altitude coming down, which caused him to skid across the green until the plane stopped.
Nicholls said he and his girlfriend, who is a doctor, were “sort of first on the scene” and that she gave medical attention to the two passengers, described as two men in their 50s.
