As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait. And that's exactly what happened to a 102-year-old golfer in California.

 

Elsie Mclean finally reached her dream of hitting a hole in one Thursday. Mclean took to the green in Chico, setting a new world record for the oldest woman, or man, to hit a hole in one.

 

"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. And so was I," said Mclean.

 

Elsie has been golfing since her 20s, and has been featured in Golfers Digest.

 

She was invited to appear on the Jay Leno show in the past, but declined.

So maybe I still got a shot?

 

47 years old, 7.5 index, golfing since 13, some years 60+ rounds some years, not one friggen hole in one... any other hard luck cases out there?

 

And Elsie, WELL DONE!

wow she looks good for 102, golf is crazy that way i mean no hole in one for 82 years?!?! maddening.

I play to a +2.9 handicap. And that is totally due to my iron play. I am dead accurate with my irons. I have never had a hole-in-one. I have came very close. I almost hit a one about once a round it seems. I did manage a double-eagle two weeks ago with a four iron. Guess that will have to do for now.

Very cool and impressive story! Major props to her. That would be my wish-- to be alive that long, and to be in as good of health as to still be playing golf!

Most people over the age of eighty can't even swing a golf club anymore let alone make a hole-in-one.

Simply amazing.

A member of her family did an interview with jim rome on talk radio, and he was telling rome how she lives for golf. And how when she had a pacemaker put in she was in the doctors office swinging so to she which side she should put it in as to not affect her swing.

 

Awesome story.
