Gus Andreone, 103, made his eighth ace on Dec. 17, 2014, in Sarasota, Florida.

Some people say golf is a game you can play for a lifetime. So long as you're upright and can move, that means you have a chance to make an ace, just like 103-year-old Gus Andreone did in Florida on Wednesday.

Andreone, the oldest member of a golf club in America, made the hole-in-one at Palm Aire Country Club in Sarasota "I hit it solid and the ball then hit the ground about 30 yards from the green and kept rolling, rolling and rolling," Andreone said,  "It fell into the hole, which was in the right middle part of the green. Miracles do happen once in a while." 

Anderone, who now has eight lifetime aces, may well be the oldest man to have ever recorded a hole-in-one. Before him, Elsie McLean ,102 years old ,made a hole-in-one in 2007.  Anderone's first ace came 65 years ago in 1939. His last one before Wednesday was sometime in the 1990s, on the same course's 17th hole.

It certainly takes skill to make an ace. Anderone played golf every week near his home. He says he will play it all his life.
