A HANG glider pilot who crash landed on a golf course in Victoria doesn't know how he ended up on a green.

The confused 50-year-old man was found wandering around the golf course at Mornington by the last group of the day yesterday.

Paramedic Jade Condie said when crews arrived around 5.30pm (AEST) the hang glider pilot was unable to remember details like his date of birth.

"The amnesia also meant that he was unable to tell us how fast he was going or how high he was off the ground when he got into trouble," she said.

The man sustained a head injury, a deep cut to his upper lip and a suspected broken right wrist.

His memory improved on the way to Melbourne's The Alfred hospital but the time and cause of the crash is still being investigated.
