Title: Re: Arnold Palmer Dead Post by: 2Stater on September 26, 2016, 06:31:51 AM I was at the 1969 Monsanto Open in Pensacola and Armie was playing. On one of the holes, he hit a shot by a tree where I was standing and it was about 3 feet from me. Arnie walks up and I'm awestruck, frozen, can't move. After a few seconds and I still haven't moved he said "young man, thank you for keeping my ball safe, I'll take it from here". The gallary roared with laughter and I turned 4 shades of Crimson. Was very classy the way he handled that. That's the way he will always be remembered; the classiest of them all.

RIP :pray: Title: Re: Arnold Palmer Dead Post by: Old Tider on September 26, 2016, 12:11:31 PM Those were the good ole days. Foreigners have been moving into the game and the money.
