Just read this on Fox sports.

That must have been a horrible sight for his golfing buddies.:(

Maybe its safer to walk?:confused:

I wonder if they dragged him for the rest of the round?j/k

Here's the story.

Has anyone heard of - or played this particular course?
If so can you fill us in about the holes etc & if there are particular design flaws - ie no fencing or guardrails to prevent accidents like this from happening

Not to point fingers, or disrespect anyone. According to the article the cart veered off the cartpath, down a 25 foot embankment before going over the cliff. I don't know why you wouldn't jump out of the golf cart, especially when it was travelling for 25 feet before going off the embankment. I know golf carts can be quick, but still.... But that is a tragic accident!!

I read that early today, it is difficult to say what happened at this point other than the cart going over the cliff, perhaps the gentleman had a heart attack or stroke and was unable to jump out, very sad!!!!
