92-Year-Old Man Gets Hole In One

BAY CITY (WWJ) - One 92-year-old has a senior moment -- he'll never forget.  With a single swing he makes history.  WWJ's Kathryn Larson has the story about one man's memorable moment on the golf course.

"I have been close a couple of times but never in the cup, and I thought it better come pretty soon because I'm getting up there in years," said Bay City resident Herb Schmidt. "It was a nice arch, it was a nice high one...and it landed shortly in front of the flag... a couple of bounces and it rolled right in, boy did we whoop it up."

And very important if you want a hole in one like Schmidt.  The father of six says he's waited his entire life for this to happen at the Maple Leaf Golf Course-- and says after the victory with the 8 iron -- he couldn't believe what happened next:

"This is on the eighth hole ... then I come to the ninth ..by golly I pared that, so I was really in 7th heaven there," said Schmidt.

After his round of golf -- Schmidt and his church buddies celebrated with a round at the country club.
