Hey, we got a feel-good story for you tonight.
You know, we need one of those every now and then,
and look at this cutie right here,
a Sugar Land woman celebrated 100 years old.
She's 100 now by fulfilling a dream eight years in the making.
Fox 26's McKenna Earnhardt shows us how an adaptive device
helped a local golf champion step back up to the tee.
That's 100%.
How old are you?
100 in about four or five days.
Because every day counts. There you go.
It's not shocking that for a 100th year old birthday wish,
somebody wants to get back on the course, right?
Well, Shannon from Laurel Park phoned me and said,
is there any way we can get Anita out there?
And she's turning 100.
And I said, hell yeah.
Save yourself.
And you thought she wouldn't fit.
Whoa, wait.
You know, you told her to leave.
When did you start the game of golf?
When I was 52.
52, that's kind of late to start, huh?
Yes, well, I played tennis before.
Okay, and then you got into golf.
And I hurt my knees, so then I got into golf, yes.
I was worried that she would embarrass herself,
embarrass the people that were providing the equipment,
and that she would have a lot of pain.
But as you can see, I think she enjoyed the experience.
What's the secret to making it to 100 years old
and still being able to swing a golf club?
Well, I didn't swing it very well.
You're hard on yourself.
Well, it was just lucky, blessed by God.
Yeah.
It gave us a lot of blessings.
I'm glad this isn't the electric chair.
So what else?
I think you covered it.
Okay.
She's done.
