CLEARWATER, Fla., Jan. 31 (UPI) -- A 92-year-old Florida man who is legally blind stroked a 110-yard hole-in-one while golfing with friends earlier this month, a St. Petersburg newspaper said.
Leo Fiyalko, who suffers from blindness caused by macular degeneration, landed his first hole-in-one on the par-three, 110-yard hole at Cove Cay Country Club in Clearwater in front of three members of his golf group, the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times reported Thursday.
"It was my first hole-in-one, and I never saw it. I was just trying to put the ball on the green," Fiyalko said.
Fiyalko's golf group, the Twilighters Club, presented him with a plaque last week which reads, "Leo Fiyalko, hole-in-one, five iron, 110 yards."
