Not letting this drop any further.
Forever the greatest. If you have children, point them towards Arnold Palmer and say "be that." And I'm not referring to his golf or business accomplishments.
We beat Duke on Arnie's birthday this year and Clawson gave him a video shoutout in the locker room afterwards, saying they weren't going to lose on his birthday.
One of the alltime great Deacs. I took these photos of him at the games when he opened the gate.
Very odd coincidence given last night's Simpsons episode
Still can't believe this. Strange to feel this sad on account of a person I did not know personally.
I'm the same way. I stayed up way later that usual watching the golf channel last night occasionally getting teary-eyed.
I was thinking about that too. There are just certain people that you have never met, but just made such an impact on you, that when they pass it effects you just like it would when someone you actually know passed. Arnold Palmer was one of those type people. I don't think it's a stretch at all to say there are millions of people that didn't "know" Arnie that feel that way today. For the ones the really did know him, it's obviously even worse. The statement Nicklaus put out made me tear up, because Jack is not an overly emotional person and you could feel the emotion in those words he wrote about his dear friend. Haven't seen a statement from Gary Player yet, but am looking forward to that as well.
