Default Landed on a Golf Course. Not an emergency.

Just out of curiosity, did he violate any aviation regulations (except
for the recklessness catch-all, if the landing was unsafe)? Obviously
the altitude and obstacle-clearance regulations in 91.119 don't apply,
since he was landing.


So if he were quick witted enough, he would have said, "Gee, that
engine was running rough so I had to put it down..."


Well sure, an emergency would have made the landing legal. But what I
was wondering is which FAR, if any, was violated by the landing given
the actual, non-emergency circumstances.
