Plane Lands on Metro Atlanta Golf Course

What better place to make an emergency landing in a plane than on a golf course.

A small plane made an emergency landing in a Paulding County neighborhood Sunday afternoon, police said.  No injuries are reported.  The plane landed on the golf course in the Bentwater community off Cedarcrest Road in north Paulding, Cpl. Brandon Gurley with the Paulding County Sheriff's Office told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

The plane went down shortly after 5 p.m.

Firefighters and deputies accessed the crash site through the parking lot of the nearby Primrose school.
Cedarcrest Road is off Cobb Parkway near Acworth.

The plane was a white Cessna that took off from McCollum Field in Kennesaw with an instructor and pilot aboard, said MaryAnn Phipps, a Paulding county emergency management spokesperson.

The plane lost power and they made an emergency landing by the 10th hole of the golf course, she said.

Here's a map of where I believe the plane landed.

Golf course measuring devices to choose, but what kind is best? it all depends on what you need golf course. It 'a great resource to read the distance course and keep an eye on where the ball landed. And when you buy, you need not pay taxes and to record the nest at home, just point and go. There are rules in golf, those who say you can not use rangefinders tournaments.
