Overview

• Sister René Parman played at Knoll Run Golf Course in Lowellville, Ohio, on Friday with members of the Humility of Mary, two days before her Sept. 21 birthday.
• Her Friday golf outings with fellow nuns have been a standing tradition for decades and continue into her 100s.
• She first picked up the sport in her 40s after friends told her simply to "hit the ball," a lesson she still repeats.
• Now legally blind, she plays with companions who locate her ball and share distances so she can choose the right club.
• She mentors younger sisters, credits golf’s exercise and calm for her health, and has hinted this could be her final season, though friends are skeptical.
