On the wall of her Cleveland area family room hangs a huge, professionally matted display of news stories and photos of Evelyn, given by her friends in Florida. One of them, Carin West, was her teammate when she sank the two holes in one. Looking at the hanging, Angelo jokes, "We don't have any more room on the wall."

Aside from golf, tell me about yourself.
My dad had a tailoring and dry-cleaning business. I met Angelo because the tailor was Angelo's uncle, and Angelo came into to help him. We were married June 28, 1941. I was 23, which was not considered really young back then.

I was a homemaker. A lot of young women today think that's boring. I was never bored, having three children and doing what I had to do to take care of the house. Angelo worked long hours, so I always kept busy. I baked and sewed. I feel satisfied with my career choice. The kids and I always had something going on. We'd do crafts together. I have two healthy children. My third daughter was uneducable, and she often had seizures. She died 30 years ago.

Did you do volunteer work?
Yes, when Marcia died, I volunteered at St. Ann's Hospital. I worked at the gift shop there. And we had a Dairy Queen franchise for awhile with another party. I went there and helped make ice cream sundaes. It helped pass the time.

Have you always been athletic?
Exercise was always important to me. When the kids were growing up, I exercised. I used to do fast aerobics, but when I tired of that, I started going to stretching classes. I find that very favorable, and it really makes a difference. I've never been really heavy. I don't diet. You always hear about these fad diets. I just try to eat well--I eat a lot of fresh vegetables.

I used to play tennis, but had a bad experience with tendonitis about 20 years ago. Then I hurt my shoulder in a fall about two years ago. I didn't play golf at all that winter; I had a lot of therapy. This past year, I didn't go back to Florida til January, so I wasn't golfing from October to January. I think that helped me a lot. I used to golf almost continually throughout the year. But when you're recovering from an injury, you can't keep pursuing it.

How did you get into golf?
It's something that, because I had a father that played golf and my mother's brothers played it, I favored it a lot. It just seemed to fall into my lap, so to speak, because it was in my family. In fact, I remember playing one or two rounds with my dad before he passed away.

Do you think he'd be proud of your two holes in one?
Oh, of course. And my uncles, too. At least one of my uncles had a hole in one. He belonged to Chagrin Valley Country Club.

You spend four months each year in Florida. Do you have a group of friends there and a group of friends here in Cleveland?
Definitely. When you belong to a club, like I do down there, you have a group of friends with similar interests as you do. I also have a lot of friends who are much younger than I. It's important to keep in touch. Up here (in Cleveland) I play in women's golf leagues, but I don't belong to a club. Angelo plays in men's leagues.

I keep in touch with my grandkids and friends through the computer. My son-in-law set it up. But I've had several stressful moments not getting the computer to do what I want it to do (laughs). That and the cell phone. I ended up giving the phone up because I was tired of not getting a good connection.

What was your reaction to your incredible feat?
I was with my girlfriends out in Pompano Beach, Florida. The first ace in the hole--on the third hole--was only 112 yards, so I could kind of tell I made that one in. Then, on the fifth hole, it was much farther down the fairway, at 157 yards. My friends were walking ahead and one of them said, "Evelyn, I think you got it in!" Well, I really doubted that. But the closer we got to the hole, I realized I had. I just couldn't believe it.

What did your family say?
They were pretty much in awe. Angelo couldn't believe it at first. My son-in-law, married to my daughter Susie, is a very active golfer. He knows how hard it is. I think people who don't play the game can't appreciate how hard it is.

My other daughter and her family are coming in from Colorado. She hasn't seen any of my stuff. She and my other daughter and their families are coming in later this month and we're all going to Sea Island, Georgia, for our 60th wedding anniversary.

You've been featured in People Magazine, appeared on Good Morning America and written about by countless newspapers. Has that affected you at all, or your outlook on life?
No. I just love the joy, the contact with all the people I've had the pleasure of being interviewed by. I have a sheet of ... I think ... 55 interviews. I've gotten cards from people I didn't know at all, and a cards from people I know but haven't heard from in years.

It was a wonderful way to appreciate what people will do. Some people have said to me, "What did you get money-wise?" I'm not getting much. I did get gifts. I received three lovely outfits from Tail, Inc. I got some balls from Precept, the company who makes the balls I played with that day. They weren't big, enormous things, but that lifted my spirits.

What is your attitude about aging?
When I did this fantastic thing, everybody found out my age. It was so broadly advertised. It doesn't bother me. In fact, they had a write-up when I was down in Florida said that I was 88 years old. Someone asked me, "Aren't you going to sue?" I said, "Look, if I was 88 and got two holes in one, I'd be all the more important" (laughs).

You know, I feel bad I don't have the skin (of a younger person). I've got wrinkles and all that, but so what. You've got to learn to live with what your age is. As long as you're living healthfully. That to me is more important.

Do you have a guiding philosophy for life?
For one thing, I feel my age has kept healthy because I've never smoked. I've always been conscious of my health, not overly conscious with doctors, but knowing when I need to go. I have survived both my mother and father. Although my great-grandmother lived to be 95 years old. So genetics might play a part.

What advice would you give to someone who's 75, 80 years old but believes they're "too old" to go out and be active?
I maintain that you have to keep your mind and body well-motivated. I don't go into things too seriously, like bridge. Some players are more serious than others. I like it very much but I certainly wouldn't give up my golf for it (laughs). There's a lot to it and I think it keeps your mind active. Also, I love reading. I don't have too much time to watch television.
