Blind Woman Hits Hole-In-One

<snip>

LOS ANGELES - Sheila Drummond, with her heart pounding, recorded what is believed to be the first hole-in-one by a totally blind female golfer at Mahoning Valley Country Club in Lehighton, Pa., on Sunday.

Playing with her husband, Keith, and another couple in damp conditions on a course she knows very well, the 53-year-old amateur aced the par-3 fourth from 144 yards with a driver.

Drummond, blind since 1982 because of diabetes, heard her ball strike the flagstick before it dropped into the cup for the best moment of her golfing career.

1. Or, at least that's what they *told* her.

Amazing that she's still golfing. Bravo!
