The copter came in and landed on the golf course and I saw then take a patient on a gurney out onto the golf course. We turned down St. Charles and drove by the parked emergency vehicles. I was looking for wrecked cars or golf carts and didn't see any. That's when I thought maybe someone playing golf had a heart attack, but I don't know anymore.
Here's a view from Google of about where the emergency vehicles were parked;

The helicopter only used the golf course for a landing area. No one playing golf or working on the course had any problems. The person with the problem was moved from a nearby village and needed to air lifted so the emergency team called in the helicopter and used the flat open area on the course. This has happened before, but seldom. there was no wrecked cars or golf carts because that was not the problem.
