This lady has something to smile about. Johnnie Jario, at the age of 84, got a hole-in-one on the second hole at Lincoln Elks Country Club on Sunday. Jario has played golf at the Elks Club since 1959. This was her third hole-in-one and she has won many club championships. "It proves golf is a game you can play at any age," says Johnnie.
