Well there you go! Statistically, you'd expect it to have been a Honda boat.

Terrified golfers, lucky escape, out-of-control, hurtled through the air, flew through the air, crashed, careered into, hitting rocks, golfers on shore were forced to run for cover, forced to flee, major search operation, etc etc

WOW.

alternatively......

Boat runs aground on beach approx 40ft.

Two golfers in the area witnessed it landing and were concerned who would rake the bunker.

Helmsman walked ashore but all the imaginable safety services thought it would be funny to pop down and have a look as it was such a nice day and not much doing.

Some muppet put out an all ships alert before realising they weren't anywhere near any ships.

Hasn't got quite the same ring I guess and sensationalist bollox is good for the do gooders to get some licensing on them bastards that can afford a boat.

Sorry I only do the racing - It's unlikely I'll hear anything before it's published on the internet anyway as I don't have any sources for that sort of news.
