The pilot/owner of an experimental, amateur built, UL Stork was in cruise flight at 1,500 ft agl, when he shut down the engine by inadvertently activating a recently installed, unguarded, engine cutoff switch located on the control stick. After two unsuccessful attempts to restart the engine, he performed an off field landing to a golf course. During the landing roll the airplane impacted a metal box resulting in damage to the landing gear, propeller, and left wing strut.
