Noteworthy: Didn’t want to golf on the day she hit her hole-in-one

because it was too windy ... Her husband, Dick, convinced her to go

out with him and some friends ... The windy conditions made the hole

play long, so she used a 9-wood for the 100-yard shot over the water

hazard ... She thought she was going to get a birdie and was “in

total shock” when she found out her ball rolled into the hole for the

eagle ... Plays golf about twice a week ... Had to give up her love,

tennis, because of knee injuries, but surgery two years ago has

allowed her to start playing again ... Has been playing golf for 10

years ... Credits Newport Beach Country Club head pro Paul Hahn with

teaching her how to swing a golf club properly ... Was a stay-at-home

mom ... Attended UCLA for one year before moving to West Virginia

with her husband.
