102-year-old Calif. woman hits hole-in-1

Sun Apr 8, 6:44 AM ET

CHICO, Calif. - Elsie McLean thought she might have lost her ball on the par-3, 100-yard fourth hole at Bidwell Park. Instead, the 102-year-old Chico woman became the oldest golfer ever to make a hole-in-one on a regulation course.


Because of the slope of the green, McLean and her partners couldn't see where her ball landed after she teed off.

"Where's my ball?" McLean asked.

Her friends, Elizabeth Rake and Kathy Crowder, found it in the cup.

"I said, 'Oh, my Lord. It can't be true. It can't be true.' I was so excited. And the girls were absolutely overcome," McLean said.

It was McLean's first ace.

"Well everybody wants a hole-in-one, and I said, 'Why can't I have a hole-in-one?' I came within inches once," McLean told television station KNVN.

McLean, who used a driver, broke the age record of 101 set by Harold Stilson in 2001 at Deerfield Country Club in Florida.

McLean, who has been featured in golf magazines before, will appear on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on April 24 to celebrate her accomplishment.

"For an old lady," she said, "I still hit the ball pretty good."

I play 3 times a week and the closest Ive ever been is a few feet from a hole in one.My friend plays once a month maybe and we were out last summer and he dropped one in from 125 yards on the way to a 98.Its pure luck.

I've played all my life and the closest I have gotten is hitting the pin a few times. i've had a few stop within a foot or so. never a hole in one.

True story:

I saw a guy hit a hole in one at this golf tourney charity event I went to this January. He was a former college golf scholarship player who got caught banging one of his professors and got thrown out.

I will donate 10,000 points to the first person who can guess what class his professor was teaching.
