Man learns casino losses not deductible
HOUSTON, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- No one was injured when a small plane with engine trouble made an emergency landing at a Texas golf course, the pilot said.
Brendon Ford said he was flying from Lafayette, La., to Columbus, Texas, Monday when the engine started sputtering only about 40 minutes from his destination, KHOU-TV, Houston, reported Tuesday.
Ford said the fairway of Houston's Hermann Park Golf Course seemed to be the closest and safest place to put the plane down and he safely landed at about 6 p.m.
"They have a wonderful golf course," Ford said of Hermann Park. "Very smooth fairways and it's a nice place to land your plane if you have to land short."
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident.
