I'm 47 got my first golf lesson at 9 yrs old, and I've been playing my whole life never even witnessing an ace. I was in a foursome playing 18 holes in Phoenix. I tee'd up #15 par 3 with a 9 iron, and I actually aced the hole. It was surreal to say the least. My dad bought me a steak and lobster dinner that night. Really a great day!
