A pilot managed to walk away almost unscathed after video captured him crash a plane on Robert Browna busy California golf course Sunday afternoon.
The frightening landing took place at Haggin Oaks Golf Course, about eight miles northeast of Sacramento, local and federal officials said.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson Rick Breitenfeldt told USA TODAY the single-engine Piper PA28 crashed about 1:15 p.m. local time on the course, just south of McClellan Airfield.
The Sacramento Fire Department responded to the scene and crews found the plane "that emergency landed on the golf course and came to rest up against the pro shop."

Nearly 200 people were on the golf course when plane crashed
Haggin Oaks Golf Course Vice President of Retail and Marketing Ken Morton Jr. told USA TODAY there were roughly 200 people out on the golf course at the time the plane crashed.
As of Monday, a monetary damage estimate to the pro shop was not yet known, Morton said.
"We haven't yet been able to get into the building and take a look at what the putting green rebuild will look like due to the plane needing to be refueled," he said.
The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash, Breitenfeldt said.
