Airplane crashes on 7th hole of Colorado golf course ‘within 30 feet’ of golfers

They’re gonna need to take a mulligan.

A small plane crashed on the seventh hole of a Colorado golf course Wednesday — just feet from a group of golfers — and miraculously everybody walked away unscathed, officials and witnesses told The Post.

“It freaked us out for sure,” said Dave Lopez, who runs Meridian Golf Course in the Denver suburb of Englewood. “It crashed there next to three people — within 30 feet of them.”

The single engine Cessna 172 had just taken off from the nearby Centennial airport at 9:44 a.m. when its engine suddenly gave out — forcing the two people on board to perform an emergency landing, fire officials and Lopez said.

But as the plane approached links, it hit a hill, slammed into the green and flipped over — stunning folks swinging clubs, according to the South Metro Fire Rescue.
