Mary Tattersall, a 90 years young golfer from West Yorkshire, broke the British record at the weekend for the oldest woman to achieve a hole-in-one. Playing the second hole at her home club, Shay Grange, she covered the 181 yards par 3 and found the pin.
Even more amazing, Mary only took up golf two years ago for the exercise and has a handicap of 36. ‘I’m no Tiger Woods, but I love golf. I think it’s a great sport, it makes me feel alive, gets my lungs open and my muscles working.’
So it’s never too late to take up the game!
