Default Pilot lands on golf course to get son to lesson

Greetings from a newbie here,

Just wanted to say briefly how much I enjoy reading all of your comments/stories on here- I have my PPL and will soon be working on my inst/comm ratings etc.... and plan on someday flying for a regional or corporate. I don't want to be just flying smaller GA planes around[as a hobby] all my life and not get paid for it!! Flying is my LIFE I LOVE it SO much and I visit this site quite frequently but have been too busy recently to post a thread until now...

This happened just a few hours before I took off for MSN and is located a couple miles north of PWK.
File under "macho" and "anti-authority"- I'm surprised he didn't hurt or kill anyone on the ground and having to make SEVERAL attempts to land it AND then say that it wasn't an emerg. landing. This pilot's license needs to be yanked from him forever!!
I'll save some other comments I had about this but I really want to hear yours now........

Peter

PS- any other pilot's that fly out of PWK here drop me a line sometime!!
