A hole-in-one is always a remarkable feat, but one scored at Club Shuswap in Salmon Arm proves that golf is a sport for all ages.

The staff at the course were happy to pass off one of their commemorative hole-in-one plaques to 87-year-old Helen Bobbitt, who sunk an ace on the courseº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s 15th hole on Aug. 12.

Course representative Michael Nash said Bobbitt is the clubº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s oldest member and the Aug. 12 hole-in-one is the fourth perfect score she has tallied in her life.

Nash added that this may be Bobbittº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s last year golfing, but if it is she will be left with a memorable achievement.
