BOCA RATON, Fla (Reuter) --

Four golfers were so intent on their game that they didn't notice a small airplane heading towards them for an emergency landing.

The Piper Aero, with a student pilot and his instructor on board, came down on the first fairway of the Boca Raton Municipal Golf Course because of engine trouble.

To avoid hitting the golfers, the plane had to veer and clipped a palm tree. It landed safely, but crumpled.

``Everything would have been OK if those damn golfers would have moved out of the way,'' said instructor Scott Slinko. ``We were coming down and they weren't moving, so I went for the tree.''

``Concentration -- that's the name of the game. That's what Jack Nicklaus said,'' golfer Irv Brown told the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. ``We were concentrating.''
