Tuesday, July 11, 2006 Mary Schmitt Boyer Plain Dealer Reporter Harrison Vonderau pulled out his pitching wedge, took his aim, swung his club and watched the golf ball fly. It bounced on the green and rolled 20 feet into the cup 76 yards away.
Harrison, 8, and his father, Dave, started screaming and jumping up and down.
"We almost fell down we were so excited," Dave Vonderau said. "I never had a hole-in-one, but I was happy to watch his."
So how did Harrison celebrate his ace?
He made another one with the same ball and his 9-iron 20 minutes later. www.cleveland.com/sports/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/sports/115260710472000.xml&coll=2

My friend's father is 95 years old. He still plays up to 27 holes of golf each day. His second wife decided to have a plaque made up that represented his holes-in-one. Last I heard, he was up to 13! He also has traveled down to Florida to win a Senior Golf Tournament the last two years.
