FALLBROOK, Calif. - A golfer died Tuesday after his golf cart plunged 75 feet off a cliff and crashed onto a road below, authorities said.
The 65-year-old man teed off with three friends on the second hole of the Pala Mesa Resort Golf Course about 50 miles north of San Diego at around 10 a.m. and then got into his cart. The vehicle veered off the concrete pathway, traveled down a 25-foot embankment and went over the edge of the cliff, California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Kerns said. The victim, a recently retired real estate agent from Irvine, was ejected shortly before the cart hit the road beneath the cliff and died on impact, Kerns said. His name was not immediately released. No one else was involved in the crash. Investigators will inspect the golf cart for mechanical failures, Kerns said. Drugs or alcohol were not thought to have been factors in the crash. from the Associated Press |

They can still inspect the cart for mechanical failure after it fell off a cliff?

POST IT! up at the course in oregon, they put curbs in. now first of all, its a golf course, not new york. theres not supposed to be curbs. secondly, they didnt paint or mark any of these things, so you can't SEE them. then, thirdly after a couple beers, you kinda forget to look for curbs, because its a golf course, they arent supposed to have them, and you're drunk. and also dont forget its golf. our golfing leader dick cheney, went golfing and shot someone! when they said quayle hunting did he think they were talking about DAN? |
