Hello again Fellow Golfists,
A small airplane took off on Sunday afternoon August 4th 2024 from McClellan AFB / Airport and crash landed on the east side of the Sacramento National / Haggin Oaks Blue And Red Nine golf course pro shop and blue and red practice putting green. The Piper PA 28 Cherokee had an engine failure and the pilot had to make an emergency landing. Miraculously this crash landing did not cause any substantial injury to either the pilot, golfers, or golf course personnel on the ground. The practice putting green and the golf course clubhouse, originally built in 1932, sustained damage.
In this episode I reflect on a plane crash that I observed first hand when I worked as a 2nd Assistant Superintendent at Cinnabar Hills Golf Club in San Jose California way back in 2002, and an incident with a piece of golf course equipment during my time at DeBell Golf Course in Burbank California. Here is a link to a newspaper article of a plane crash that happened on 3.7.02 at Cinnabar Hills Golf Club.
