The pilot was performing a visual straight-in approach for landing. Approximately 1 mile from the end of the runway, the pilot reported to the airport air traffic control tower that his engine had lost power. The pilot attempted to perform a forced landing on a golf course. During the forced landing attempt, the pilot lost control of the airplane and the airplane struck the terrain. Witnesses said they saw the airplane flying "low" and "erratic." One witness said he saw the airplane just as it was approaching the interstate, pull up and bank left. Another witness said she "saw a red plane start to weave and the nose first then the tail start to come down. The engine was not running. It (the airplane) landed nose first into the rough." An examination of the airplane showed no anomalies.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during the force landing attempt resulting in a stall-spin and the subsequent impact with the ground. A factor contributing to the accident was the engine failure for undetermined reasons.
