Golfer Killed After Golf Cart Plunges Off Cliff

Wednesday, May 23, 2007


FALLBROOK, Calif. — A 65-year-old golfer died Tuesday after his golf cart plunged 75 feet off a cliff and crashed into a road below, authorities said.

Edwin Payne teed off with three friends on the second hole of the Pala Mesa Resort Golf Course in northern San Diego County at around 10 a.m. and then got into his cart.

The vehicle veered off the concrete pathway, traveled down a 25-foot embankment and went over the edge of the cliff, said California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Kerns said.

Payne, a recently retired real estate agent from Irvine, was ejected shortly before the cart hit the road beneath the cliff and died on impact, Kerns said.

No one else was involved in the crash.

Investigators will inspect the golf cart for mechanical failures, Kerns said. Drugs or alcohol were not thought to have been factors in the crash.

Drugs or alcohol were not thought to have been factors in the crash.

Yeah, I cant think of any instances on the golf course where alcohol was a factor in a cart crash or mishap...

Apparently he needs to work on his driving.

I think his 'fairways in regulation' just took a hit.

Obviously he spends a lot of time in the rough.

He was just going after that $4 golf ball.

That was his longest drive ever, straight to God's doorstep.

ok I'm done.

Am I the only one that finds it funny that this happened in FALLbrook Cali.??

[sooneron]

I have family that used to have a weekend place there. Nice spread- it once belonged to Desi A. I think there's a solid skinhead contingency there now.

solid skinhead?

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

A golf cart doesn't travel at the speed of sound. I'll bet he sat there screaming for 2 or 3 minutes before he actually went over the cliff.

I'm sorry old golfing dead guy...but dang.

[sooneron]

solid skinhead?
rock

[OU4LIFE]

yeah well, the transparent skinheads run on the south side.

You know, I often break out into giggles at the most inappropriate time, like funerals. For my wife's great-grandmother, a woman was crying so loudly that I had to pinch myself to stop from laughing out loud.

Point is, I'm GLAD I'm not going to this guy's funeral.

hey, google "golf cart death", he ain't the first.

I knew a kid in college who totalled one.

You speak as if you know of hairless folk.:rolleyes:
