VENICE, Calif. --

One man is dead this evening after the small plane he was flying crashed at the popular Penmar Golf Course in Venice, California.

Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott says the plane went down near the 8th hole of the Penmar Golf Course shortly after 6 p.m. this afternoon.
At least one person was reported dead, and no one appears to have been injured on the course that was occupied with terrified golfers.

Penmar Golf Course is just a long 3-Wood drive from the end of Santa Monica Municipal Airport.  The crash took place just east of Lincoln Avenue on Rose Avenue in Venice right next to the City of Santa Monica.  I have played this course many times, and tonight my heart goes out to those involved.

Paramedics are on the scene, and no fire is reported.
