Feelgood News... April 09
W.Va. retiree, 70, aces consecutive holesCHARLESTON, W.Va. – A Boone County golfer has two reasons to celebrate a hole-in-one at Charleston's Coonskin Park. Retiree Carl Smith, 70, aced consecutive holes on the executive par 3 course Tuesday. Starting his round on the back nine, Smith used a pitching wedge to ace the 70-yard 18th hole. He said it never entered his mind to try for another.
After a short snack break, Smith used a sand wedge on the 100-yard first hole and saw his tee shot bounce twice before disappearing into the cup. His friend, Bob Roy, witnessed the feats.
Smith took up golf after retiring in 1999 and finding a full set of clubs at a discount store for $4.95. His first hole-in-one came three years ago.
Smith was busy with other matters Wednesday — he's in a weekly bowling league.

Dang... he's got more holes in one than me, with $5 clubs... I can only hope to live so long and be so lucky...
