Looks like a Skybound plane. Most of their planes are lime green and end in Sierra Bravo.

 

[A1Topgun]

Looks like they leveled at 7000 and had a problem and were diverting to Evansville.

Looks like they did a good job.

Confirmed (directly) this afternoon that everyone survived.

 

[Racerx]

Looks like 13 minutes from when they decided/were forced to divert to hard landing. Looks like they passed up EHR on way to EVV.

Really glad to hear everyone is safe, but really curious what happened.

excellent, now I can make golf jokes! nah, I wouldn’t do that.

anyways, I’d rate their landing a fore out of ten.

Well, that's par for the course.

Maybe they got shot down by a bogey.

Looks like he was trying to play through.

Must have landed on runway nine ... the back nine.

The eagle has landed.

The eagle has landed.

Birdie ...

 

[eman1200]

He sliced right into the side of that hill

 

[Daleandee]

Yep, pilot was a real driver that must have just come from the club ...

 

[Dave Theisen]

He broke the cart path rules. Replace your divots.

 

[TrueCourse]

You guys need to get a grip.

 

[Skyrys62]

He's on the hook for some green.

Seems he was teed off that his plane went a fairway down ...

A golf course is TaylorMade for engine out landings.

 

[Mahneuvers]

EZGOing to return to flying after this accident?

 

[Mahneuvers]

He avoided the fence so no links damage.

 

[eman1200]

better than landing in the tiger woods

 

[Mahneuvers]

I bet there were MX issues he hadn't ironed out.

 

[Mahneuvers]

Sand trapped in his fuel line maybe???

 

[eman1200]

it's a twin, I wonder if there was a foursome on board.

 

[Skyrys62]

I hope insurance doesn't give him the shaft.

 

[Jim K]

I hope insurance doesn't give him the shaft.

It's rough these days with the heavy iron. Divots like this are the main driver.

 

[WBI Flyer]

Wow - respect for the pilot and the puns. This reads like a good cup of coffee. Everyone on that plane is definitely going to lay up for a while after this.

 

[eman1200]

good thing they had two engines, just in case they got a hole in one.....

 

[robin ardoin]

Shame on you guys....incidents like this are not punny!

 

[Skyrys62]

Foreflight had him on course.

 

[Mahneuvers]

Nesting birds could have wedged a twig somewhere impeding control surface movement.

 

[Mahneuvers]

Looks like he did a good job pitching for best airspeed.

 

[robin ardoin]

Ok @Mahneuvers ....you win. I dub you Atilla the Pun!

lol. I was planning to keep it up until @eman1200 conceded the match (snuck one last pun in there)

 

[eman1200]

I was on the fringe of this thread from the get-go. it was a scramble for me to come up with anything.

 

[Albany Tom]

On the one hand I don't want to chime in on joking around about an accident...even if everyone was ok.
On the other hand, I am curious if they made him pay for a caddie.

What are you going to do when your engine stops putt-ering?

Well at least they didn't lose their b.....nah....

They was unlucky. Arnold Palmers wife coulda maybe have given them a little luck.
