Elsie McLean

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elsie McLean (born November 20, 1904 in Chico, California) is an American golfer. On April 5, 2007, she became the oldest person to hit a hole-in-one on a regulation course at the age of 102. Her achievement, an estimated 100 yards, came at the par-3 hole 4 of the Bidwell Municipal Golf Course. And because of this, she appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on May 5, 2007.[1] Moreover, she birdied exactly the same hole shortly before her 103rd birthday at the end of 2007.[2]
