CRANBERRY TWP — When she was turning 64, Phyllis Bishop had an empty hand when it came to any major golf accomplishments.

A decade later, she’s holding four aces.

The Cranberry Township resident secured her fourth hole-in-one in the past 10 years this past winter. She used a nine-iron to ace the 95-yard, No. 2 hole at The Links Golf Club in Hudson, Fla.

Her first three aces occurred within a four-year span. Two of those were in Florida. The other was at Reserve Run in Poland, Ohio.

All four were on different golf courses.

“We stay in Florida for three months every winter and play a good bit of golf down there,” said Jake Bishop, Phyllis’ husband. “It’s uncanny what she’s been doing.”

Bishop’s latest hole-in-one came on an elevated green. She said a “big hump) was in the fairway, directly in front of the green.

“I didn’t hit the ball the way I wanted,” she said. “I usually get more air underneath my shots. This one sort of sailed into that hump, skipped off it and rolled right into the hole.”

Phyllis Bishop did not begin playing golf until age 44.

Her husband scored his only career hole-in-one nearly 50 years ago, while in his 20’s.

“I guess I have some catching up to do,” he said, laughing.

Phyllis estimates she’s played golf in 10 different states and admits Jake gets the better of her on the scorecard most of the time.

“If I play really well and he has an off-day, I can beat him in an 18-hole game ... But that’s few and far between,” she said.

When she scored her third hole-in-one five years ago, Bishop figured that would be the end of such shots.

“I never thought I’d get another one,” she said. “I mean, I’ve come pretty close a few times since (the third hole-in-one), one time within half a shoe-length, maybe.

“But you figure your luck runs out at some point when it comes to that sort of thing.”

Still, Bishop admits her four-ace accomplishment “isn’t bad for a senior who prides herself on being a bogey golfer.”

She’s recently taken up pickle ball as well.

“I like to stay active,” she said. “I’ve discovered over the years that golf is a game of finesse, not brute strength.

“It’s a sport that’s inconsistent. In bowling and tennis, the game basically plays the same no matter where you play. Every course is different in golf ... Even the same course can play differently, depending on the pin placement.”

Bishop’s philosophy of golf is simple: Tee up the ball and hit it.

“I only play once or twice a week,” she said. “That’s as fancy as it gets.”
