Blind, 92-year-old golfer scores hole-in-one
"I was just trying to put the ball on the green," he said.

Yeah, me too, I have two good eyes and I can't do it.

I came close once, hit the lip on the fly, bounced off the stick 40 feet away, bogey.  [sm_disgust] I've never even seen one from a playing partner.

How about you? Had or seen up close?

Have one myself thus proving it's more luck than skill.   ;)  185 yards to par-3 seventh at Valley View GC.  By the way, that's my ONLY eagle too.   [sm_anon]

I've seen two others - both by the same guy.  Clive, campy and Spacey, you all know him.

I thought this happened once already last year.  I remember the 105 year old chick that got one, but I thought I read about another blind golfer doing it.



Topic:  No for me.  Closest I came to seeing one was a shot of about a buck 0 5 into a closed green. One hope and plunk. (green playing temp. in the fairway)  We all hit to the green anyway 'cause we payed full price for the round, and we're *bunghole*s like that.

Hell, he can't be that good.  I mean, it took him long enough.  I got mine at a third of his age!
