Narrative:The pilot said that he initiated a go-around after the airplane touched down with full flaps. However, he stated that the flaps did not come up when he placed the three-position (down, neutral, and up) flap switch to up, and that he did not realize this. The airplane lifted off prematurely, and it drifted left of the runway, over an adjacent golf course. The pilot maneuvered to miss vehicles and personnel on the golf course, but encountered a stall/mush in doing so. The airplane then impacted a tree and crashed. A mechanic for the aircraft operator reported to the FAA that the airplane's surviving flap system components operated normally in a postaccident functional test.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control. Factors relating to the accident were: the pilot's failure to verify whether the flaps had raised, the resultant premature lift-off, and trees on the adjacent golf course.
