What happened
During operations on a grass runway (270), the pilot-in-command was maneuvering the glider to avoid a bright white golf cart after being alerted by a passenger. During this maneuver, the pilot failed to maintain proper control of the aircraft and deviated from an acceptable track. This deviation resulted in the left wing making contact with a pole.
At the time of the incident, weather conditions consisted of calm winds, heavily overcast gray skies, and light precipitation. The pilot reported that upon feeling the impact, his initial reaction was disbelief because he believed he had successfully avoided the golf cart and had not perceived the presence of the pole.
