As a 14 year old junior golfer in 1972, I was given a book ( Go for broke) by Arnold Palmer. I'm not sure if it helped my game...but it left me with the mentality, that if you never have a go...you'll never know. RIP Mr Palmer. 🏆
These are fantastic..I continue to watch them time and time again!!! If RU-vid doesn't appreciate this know that there are some loyal fans that love your work ..keep em coming
Mitchell that was a brilliant bio of Arnold Palmer, he did a lot for the game and helped bring it into our living rooms via the television. Thanks for the video. Geoff.
For me, Arnold Palmer was the most beloved athlete in all sports history. He single-handedly put golf on the map as a major sport and all golfers since owe whatever success they’ve had in large part to Arnie’s leadership and charisma. He led the way for all future golfers to play for the riches they enjoy today. Quite simply “the King”
I've gotten to know a man who played on the PGA tour back at the end of Palmer's career. First person I asked him about was Arnold Palmer. Says he was the nicest, kindest man you would ever meet. My great uncle as well has a cool story where he and his wife were on vacation and they just so happened to be at the same resort where Palmer, Nicklaus & Player were playing one of their classic matches. He says Palmer randomly sat down on a bench for 10-15 minutes next to his wife and just chatted up, very down to earth and friendly he recalls. Really cool to hear first hand stories corroborate a celebrities stellar reputation. I tell ya if I could go back in history and meet one man, it would probably be Arnie.
Good work! But his tournament, originally the Bay Hill Classic but now called The Arnold Palmer Invitational, should have been mentioned. It's one of the most respected events on the PGA tour
The golden years of Persimmon golf. No large sweet spots or forgiveness in those days. Arnie the legend. He had reach way beyond his sport. Like Seve. Bring back the original Big Three of Golf. You’ll know who I mean.,
I got to see Arnie live at Wood Ranch in 1984 or 85 where he bashed a massive drive of 320 or better on 18 to get home in two easily on that long par 5. Then I watched him laughing and talking with my Dad on 10 at Sherwood C.C. (can't remember the year maybe 1995 or 96). He was a giant of a golfer and a wonderful, kind man
