Blindness is not a handicap to this golfer.
Leo Fiyalko couldn't see it, but his golf buddies did — a hole-in-one on the fifth hole at the Cove Cay Country Club.
Fiyalko is 92 and has macular degeneration. He's been golfing for 60 years, but his 110-yard shot with a five iron on Jan. 10 was his first hole-in-one.
Isn't that amazing or what?

Yes, this is amazing. I just posted a discussion about this same subject today. But from what I read it is a different person. Isn't that crazy, and this elderly man I wrote about, I believe he is 85 and made a hole-in-one also. Isn't that wonderful. It just makes me think, if these men can do this, I really need to step up my game and get accomplishing more things in life. Thanks for sharing this with us. Have a wonderful day!
