Dramatic footage of a light aircraft crash-landing heavily onto Mona Vale golf course located right along the Pacific Ocean shoreline in the northern suburbs of Sydney.
Mona Vale has always been one of my favourite golf courses when home in Sydney.

The plane left Camden in the south-west of Sydney about 1pm and was intended to land at Wollongong and further south of Sydney, flight records show.
The training flight headed north of Sydney but got into trouble over the Palm Beach which is the northern reach of Sydney and advised to land on Long Reef GC that is more open then Mona Vale but could not make Long Reef.
An Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) spokesman said there was a pilot instructor and student on-board the plane when it made an emergency landing on the green.
Two men, believed to be aged in their 50s, suffered minor injuries in the crash and were treated by paramedics at the scene.
Three paramedics and one inspector were on the scene to treat the men.
They have since been transported to Royal North Shore Hospital in a stable condition, a NSW Ambulance spokesman told NewsWire.
The ATSB has been notified of the crash and is gathering information about the incident.
