Narrative:

After departure from princeton, mn, airport we were cruising at 1000 ft AGL when the engine lost all power. I attempted to troubleshoot but was unable to effect a restart. I elected to perform a forced landing on the municipal golf course. We hit a bench during the flare and heavily damaged the aircraft.
