103-year-old makes hole in one

SARASOTA, Fla. – A 103-year-old Florida golfer may have made history as the oldest person to record a hole in one.

The PGA of America announced on its website that Gus Andreone of Sarasota achieved the feat on Wednesday at Palm Aire Country Club. The group said it was likely that Andreone was the oldest golfer to ace a hole, beating the previous record of a 102-year-old woman in 2007.

Andreone told Tampa Bay television station Fox 13 News that the ace marks his eighth since 1939. He used a driver on the 113-yard 14th hole of the Lakes Course, as he normally does, but then noticed something different. The ball went straight into the hole.
