Shalimar woman, 79, has 14 holes-in-one in nearly 60-year golf career

Pat Kelly has achieved what veryfew pro athletes can boast. The
79-year-old woman says she has had 14 holes-in-one in her golf career,
the Northwest Florida Daily News reports.
"It doesn't seem impressive to me since there's a lot of luck
involved," Kelly said recently.
The chances of a hole-in-one are 12,500 to 1, according to Brandon
Moser, the pro at Shalimar Pointe Golf and Country Club. "It's
extremely rare," Moser said. "I've been playing for nine years and
I've only had one. Many other golfers better than I am might not have
any. The odds are against them. It just takes skill and luck."
Kelly, who lives in Shalimar, said she started golfing in 1954 with
her husband. She golfs three times a week on Lady's Tuesdays, Fridays
and date dayson Sundays with her husband. Her latest hole-in-one was
Dec. 16 at Shalimar.
