WESTBROOK, Maine (AP) — At 84 years old, Warren Gilman has this hole-in-one thing practically down to a science.

The Maine retiree now has four in his golfing career. The latest came last week at Point Sebago in Casco.

Gilman says the thrill never gets old, though he missed seeing the ball go into the hole. He was informed by one of his golfing buddies. Joel Marquis, who was in the same foursome, told the Portland Press Herald that Gilman didn’t believe it until he looked in the hole.

Gilman didn’t get start playing golf until his 30s. Now he plays every Monday through Friday, walking the 18 holes with a cart.
