That’s an amazing accomplishment!
That’s pretty amazing.
But I think that accomplishment may have been trumped earlier this year when 102-year-old Elsie McLean became the oldest golfer ever to make a hole-in-one on a regulation course. She first had thought she might have lost her ball on the par-3, 100-yard fourth hole at Bidwell Park, after using a driver for her first career ace.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing is being able to hit the ball in the first place. The player must have had some sighting method, and after you’ve hit the ball, being able to see the hole is not the issue.
For some reason which I can’t quite pin down, I’m uncomfortable about this news story. I’m reminded of the character Brenda di Carlo in the excellent film ‘Smile’ of 1975.
