SAN DIEGO — A Marine helicopter with mechanical problems made an emergency landing on the seventh green of a golf course.

The CH-46 Sea Knight from Marine Corps Air Station Miramar set down Tuesday night at the Doubletree Golf Resort in the Rancho Penasquitos community, Marine spokeswoman Katheryn Putnam said

Putnam said the crew of four Marines was returning from Camp Pendleton to the air station when the pilot determined there were unspecified mechanical problems.

There were no injuries and the helicopter suffered minor damage.
