Instead of golfers, carts and clubs, Oakhurst Golf and Country Club had an unexpected addition to their course, Sunday, Sept. 7.
At 8:54 a.m., a 64-year-old Clinton Township man, piloting a 1946 Aeronica two-seater, with a 40-year-old Columbus man in the passenger seat, was forced to make an emergency landing when an engine went out.
The two men had taken off from Ray Community Airport at about 8:30 a.m. in Macomb County and were heading to Maplegrove Airport in Fowlerville.
The pilot landed the plane on the fifth green fairway and pushed the plane off the green and onto the cart path on the east side of the green.
Neither the fairway or the plane was damaged and no one was injured.
