73-YEAR-OLD WOMAN HAS TWO ACES IN ROUND ON FLORIDA GOLF COURSE

Cissy Perkins couldn't sleep Monday night. Her mind was still racing hours after a once-in-a-lifetime day on a Florida golf course.

Perkins, 73, made two holes-in-one at the Babe Zaharias Golf Course in Tampa Florida. A 24 handicap, she shot 83 at the par-70 course, the best round of her life.

"I was going to go home (Sunday), but my daughter thought I should stick around another day and play golf with them," said Perkins, who lives in Naples Florida. "I'm glad I did."

In a threesome with her daughter, Karen Marotta, and her daughter's friend, Kathy Ottens, the first hole-in-one came at No. 8, a 107-yard hole all over water with the pin 10 yards from the front of the green. Perkins used a 6-iron on that Florida golf course hole.

The second ace came at the 15th hole, which measures 113 yards. Perkins said she decided to be safe and hit a 5-iron.

"They all said it was long, so we were looking for the ball over the green," Perkins said. "Then Kathy saw it in the hole and started screaming. We were making so much noise, everybody on the Florida golf course knew what happened."
