LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. (AP) — Sal Fasino is 80 years old. He has multiple sclerosis. He also has two recent holes-in-one.

The Naples Daily News reported (http://bit.ly/1IB9Z6T ) that Fasino had his first ace in February on the 108-yard 13th hole Majestic Golf Club in Lehigh Acres.

The second came six weeks later in March when Fasino holed his tee shot on the club's 7th hole, also 108 yards.

The retired brick layer and project manager has problems with his left leg because of his MS, a debilitating nerve disease.

It often leaves him tired but he still gets in 18 holes.

He jokes that if he keeps up the pace he could eventually catch a 101-year-old California woman who claims to have hit 11 holes-in-one.
