Golfer Of The Week: Elsie McLean

Short of Tiger Woods winning the green jacket and celebrating by making love to Phil Mickelson's wife on the front porch of Butler Cabin while Jim Nantz describes every detail with awed reverence, we'll not be seeing anything this cool at The Masters today. 102-year-old Elsie McLean made a hole-in-one yesterday, becoming the oldest person to ever do so on a regulation course.

She used a driver on the 100-yard fourth hole (she must be a joy to play behind... there, I said it) for her first career ace. Her playing partners, Elizabeth Rake and Kathy Crowder, found her ball nestled gloriously in the cup. And then Bob Barker, as he sometimes does, jumped on to the green and kicked her ass.

Since no one at The Masters can bother to get themselves under par, I'm declaring her the Golfer of the Week. And to help celebrate her accomplishment, she gets to visit the taping of a show for which women her age are the exact target audience.

McLean, who has been featured in golf magazines before, will appear on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on April 24 to celebrate her accomplishment.

"For an old lady," she said, "I still hit the ball pretty good."

Sweetheart, you're 102 years old. You're doing pretty pretty well to even see the ball, and not confuse it for a clock radio or your nephew Stanley.
