Ohio nun celebrates 105th birthday with a round of golf

“I think it helps you to know yourself. I do, really, anyway. And competing with yourself, mostly. I think that’s a fact. They’re very helpful. It’s a wonderful place to be — very meditative. It’s a beautiful place — grass, flowers and it’s quiet,” Sister Parman told WKBN-TV.

She began working to become a nun at the age of 18, but it wasn’t until her 40s that some of her fellow sisters introduced her to golf.

“They said, ‘Hit the ball.’ That was my only instruction that I ever received,” Sister Parman said.

The nun now plays golf every week, and has been instructing her younger colleagues on how to play the game.
