Hole-in-one at age 102

A 102-year-old United States woman became the oldest person yet to hit a hole-in-one during a golf outing, US media reported on Friday.

Elsie McClean of Chico, California, has been playing golf since she was in her 20s and had never hit a hole-in-one before, but achieved her long-time goal at a 96-yard par three, CBS 13 news reported.

”I said, ‘Oh, my Lord. It can’t be true. It can’t be true.’ I was so excited. The girls were absolutely overcome. So was I,” McClean told the television station. — Sapa-dpa
