Nice weather I guess, everybody comes out to play after a long period of abstention.

Father and daughter on board. Based on the report that says 'man and woman', we can deduce that the pilot was probably an older gentleman (not necessarily 80+, but at least 50). A doctor who was playing golf at the time assisted at the scene.
I want to find out more.

Mystery forced landing

Did this actually happen? There are no details forthcoming and no one in the local area seems to know anything about it.

I always keep a good look-out for golf courses as potential emergency landing grounds, as there will inevitably be several doctors around to help me if I botch up the landing.

If you are really in trouble there might be a handy tree to land in to avoid the people on the fairway.
