I have to think there was actually a lot of danger involved. Anyone landing on a golf course is likely to be flying very low over residential or business districts, with precious little time to make corrections if something goes wrong. @Kevin:

So you have a ski plane landing on a long empty fairway with no danger to the public or property. I think people are upset not because it's dangereous, but because it's different.

No pilot in his right mind (i.e. the "Mental Status" part of the 3C ticket) would do that. Time to get that Third Class Medical revoked.

I'm with BikerRay; I don't see what's so concerning about this. The guy used what he had at hand to get where he needed to be. He probably should've at least got permission to land at the golf course, but I'd say no harm, no foul.

It's a ski plane landing on snow. When I flew an ultralight we landed on various farms all the time. Never on a golf course, but wouldn't have hesitated. What’s the big deal?

"Why should I have to plan ahead or deal with traffic like the common masses when I can afford my own plane?"

(an "I'm gonna do it right this time" attitude? or maybe just making up for lost time?) what’s jumping out at me is the man had the kid when he was 50 - I wonder if his desire to spoil the kid - or at least do anything possible to ensure the kid makes the tennis team - has anything to do with him having the kid so late in life.
