SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The tense moments a pilot was forced to make an emergency landing on a golf course in Northern California were caught on camera.

The pilot said he experienced a mechanical failure at approximately 400 feet and needed a safe place to land.

Shocking footage shows the plane skidding over a putting green at the Haggin Oaks Golf Complex in Sacramento, narrowly missing a passerby.

The plane eventually came to a stop outside the pro shop on the golf course. Miraculously, there was only minor damage.

No one on the ground was injured, but the pilot escaped with only a cut to his hand.
