Florida Man Makes Emergency Landing on Golf Course; Players Help Move Plane to Finish Hole

If you’ve played golf long enough, you’ve probably run into several unique obstructions on the course.

Golfers in Florida may have to deal with an alligator here and there, but a group at the Del Tura Golf & Country Club in Fort Myers on Thursday has quite the story to tell.

A small plane made an emergency landing right on the ninth green as the group approached on their carts.

The pilot was the only person on the aircraft and reported engine trouble, so he touched down on a long stretch of grass.

Once the pilot emerged unscathed, the golfers then turned their concern back to their round.
