Unsuspectingly, an amateur golfer in Sacramento in the US state of California took his time for a short game on the practice green of the Arcade Creek Course in Haggin Oaks. Just as he approached his ball, a small plane sped towards him in the corner of his eye and narrowly missed him as he jumped a few meters to the side at the last moment. Within a few seconds, the plane hit the ground, came to a halt and gave the golfer a good shock.
Crash landing on the golf course due to technical failure
At an altitude of 400 feet, the technology of the small plane, in which only the pilot was in, failed, which is why the plane had to make an emergency landing. It finally reached the ground unbraked on the grounds of a golf course in Sacramento, where a golfer was playing his short game. The plane narrowly missed the golfer and finally came to a halt a few meters away against the wall of the clubhouse. Miraculously, both parties involved were largely unharmed. Only the pilot suffered cuts to his hand. A surveillance camera recorded the situation.
