The airplane impacted a golf cart and terrain during a forced landing following a loss of engine power during the initial takeoff climb. The commercial pilot reported that a 'slow gradual loss of engine power' occurred shortly after takeoff, and he initiated a forced landing to a golf course fairway. The airplane touched down approximately 150 feet short of the fairway, impacted a moving golf cart, struck a curb, nosed over, and came to rest inverted on the fairway. Examination of the fuel system and engine did not reveal the reason for the loss of engine power.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for an undetermined reason. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
