A Little Friday File Fun (03/13)

Well, here’s a thousand…

– – – In St. Petersburg, Florida , Unni Haskell, 62, took two months of golf lessons and decided she was ready to hit the course – – – so, she teed up on the 100-yard first hole at Cypress Links, a nine-hole, par-3 course there – – – swung as hard as she could with her purple Wilson ProStaff 12 degree driver – – – hit a shot that went about 75 yards – – – avoided the bunker on the left – – – bounced onto the green – – – and rolled in the hole.   First hole of her life. First swing on a course. Hole-in-one.   Unni’s response?   “I didn’t know it was that big of a deal,” she said. “I thought all golfers do this.” – – – you can see Unni at http://www.tampabay.com/multimedia/archive/00059/A4S_holeinoner031209_59974d.jpg
