Age is just a number no comments
A 90-year-old woman has upstaged Tiger Woods and made a 181yd hole-in-one shot — an amazing feat for anyone, letalone a pensioner who has only played for two years. It sounds like the kind of shot even professional golfers would have to try all day to do.
She said she felt amazed and stunned to have achieved the feat. The club even gaver her a trophy in celebration of her success.
The owner of the club said she was a natural at the sport — which, I suppose, is to be expected when you can hit in shots like that in just your second year of play.
According to news reports, he said: “It’s very rare to get a hole in one. Mary is a real natural with excellent hand and eye co-ordination. She loves golf and plays in all weathers.
It’s a wonderful story really. And it’s made all the more powerful to me because my friend has just given a presentation on age and ageism: age is just a number, was the general gist of it; and this proves that you can still pull off some miraculous feats even when you’re 90.
