Leo Fiyalko would just as soon get on with life.
So he made a hole-in-one on the 110-yard, par-3 fifth hole at Cove Cay Country Club in Clearwater.
So what if it was the 92-year-old's first hole-in-one in more than 60 years of playing golf?
Big deal.
And who cares if he is legally blind, with a condition called macular degeneration?
Fiyalko doesn't understand what all the fuss is about.
"It was my first hole-in-one, and I never saw it," Fiyalko said. "I was just trying to put the ball on the green."
That's about all he'll say on the subject. But that didn't stop his friends in the Twilighters Club golf group from presenting him with a plaque on Jan. 24 commemorating the feat. There is a picture on the plaque of the fifth hole and a line that reads: "Leo Fiyalko, hole-in-one, five iron, 110 yards."
The feat came on Jan.
