RIP Arnold Palmer

[mcdawg22]

Just an unbelievable ambassador for golf.

Well Heck!

I guess better than next week.

Ryder Cup next week, doubt Arnie would want to interfere.

Great Guy.

Consummate competitor, ambassador and gentleman. He did it right. R.I.P. Arnie.

First class all the way. I met him

At his club in Florida a few years ago. I was
surprised how small a man he was, of course
age had shrunk him some. Just a super nice guy.

Knew a guy that played bay hill in April

Said he arnie drive a golf cart right on the green. We both agreed his days were probably numbered after that.

Sad, but 87 seems old these days.

 

[mount lefroy]

I bet he didnt appreciate that.

And Keith Olbermann is still wasting oxygen.

 

[Dawg1976]

Best ambassador ever for the game. Will miss him. RIP.

I met Mr. Palmer about a few years ago at Bay Hill. As Coach said, very small in stature, but had the largest hands of any man I've ever shook hands with. He clearly owned the room, but looked at you and spoke to you as if you did.

As Jason Sobel tweeted - he founded his own hospital, flew his own plane and concocted his own drink. All done in his spare time.

If you don't really know about him, I'd suggest you read some about him.

He was my sports hero and one of the most important sports figures ever.
