A plane crash, the second since the course's opening a year ago, occured this past week. This time near the 16th hole. The first happened near the 9th. When playing in the desert one always has to pay attention where one walks because of snakes. Would one have to be looking to the sky as well while playing here?

David,

Thanks for sharing.  Just floors me how many more accidents are happening now at Palomar.  I don't get it.  I used to fly out of there for years and never ever would you hear of anything like this.

So ... is it fair to say the Crossings won't make it onto the King Putter for next year  :P
