If you thought golf was a dull sport, you clearly haven't been playing on the right courses.
Patrons at the Green Meadows Golf Course in Charlotte, North Carolina experienced a bit of a shock when their game was disrupted on Wednesday morning by an errant piece of aircraft, which fell from an airplane overhead.

A bystander told WBTV that he witnessed the object "falling from the sky, twirling around in circles and land approximately 40 yards to the right of the green" near the 7th hole.
The object turned out to be a panel door for a hydraulic servicing area on a American Airlines plane, which somehow came unhinged and plummeted towards the golf course during Flight 1910 from Dallas to Charlotte.
The plane in question landed in Charlotte roughly 20 minutes after its door did.
Since the door was not a cover for any pressurized area of the aircraft, its absence did not pose a hazard to passengers. Luckily, everyone on the golf course managed to escape unscathed as well.
The FAA is currently investigating the incident.
