Robert Dunham, an 85-year-old legally blind golfer from Arizona, made a hole-in-one this week on a par-3 course.  Dunham, a World War II vet, was playing with a group of fellow blind veterans.  His volunteer assistant lined him up with the ball, handed him a 9-iron and stepped aside.  Dunham swung through the ball and hit it squarely.  The ball landed softly on the green, took one hop and fell right into the cup.  Dunham’s group erupted into cheers and high-fives.

“I thought they were kidding me,” Dunham said. “I told them, ‘You guys better not be pulling my leg.’”

Golf Digest puts a PGA Tour pro’s chances of a hole-in-one at 1 in 3,756 and an amateur’s at 1 in 12,750.  Sports Illustrated puts the odds at 45,000 to 1.  No word on what the odds would be for a blind golfer.
