A man has been accused of driving drunk onto a Manhasset golf course, crashing into two golf carts and tearing up the green before getting stuck in a sand trap Tuesday evening.
Nassau County police said Chris Meier drove his Ford Taurus onto the Deepdale Golf Club course on North Service Road at 7 p.m.
The 49-year-old Sayville man tried to flee on foot after he got stuck but club employees held him until officers arrived, police said.
