Arnold loved golf and he loved people. He was a hero to millions, us included, a genuine and real human being. He was known as the 'King' and with good reason. RIP Mr. Palmer.
All I can say is Mr. Palmer it was an honor to know you even though I never met you...my respect and you are what I consider the embodiment of the American dream...a humble start and through hard work and perseverance became a legend and a great person worthy of all you built..God Bless and Rest In Peace..
I was playing VR golf with a stranger last week and we got to talking and he said he was a chef and had a kiosk at the Memorial tourney. We got to talking more and he mentioned Arnold and a friend of his (designer) sat down to eat and he came out to serve them. He told Arnold he was a fan but mostly kept it about the meal. He said when they finished Arnold gave him a hand written letter on a piece of paper that was lined with blades of grass from St. Andrews. It's crazy how many stories there are out there about how kind he was to everyone.
Beloved, respected, accomplished in his chosen field and business. A game changer. For my money, the best example I can point to of a successful American man.
People have been saying it was one of the greatest he was the greatest he had a bigger career after 1973 his last major he won it was great of a Siri for being kind he touched so many people and lives in and out of golf he surely would be missed
