I guess the saying "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while" is actually true!

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- A hole-in-one is rare on the golf course, but what are the odds of a blind golfer sinking one?
Leo Fiyalko couldn't see it, but his golf buddies did -- a hole-in-one on the fifth hole at the Cove Cay Country Club.
Fiyalko is 92 and has macular degeneration. He's been golfing for 60 years, but his 110-yard shot with a 5-iron on Jan. 10 was his first hole-in-one.
"I was just trying to put the ball on the green," Fiyalko said.
