What's new

R.I.P Arnold Palmer.

Arnie came into his own just as my Dad was becoming acclimatized to North American "culture". Born in Scotland, raised in India, worked in South America, Dad didn't have much exposure to golf, but took up the game after coming to Canada and seeing Arnie on tv. "Hey, that guy can do it, maybe I can too..."
Dad never had much for Nicklaus, the pretender to the throne, until Johnny Miller started shooting his mouth off about being the best. Arnie and Jack then became Dad's faves.
I figure there's a long line forming right now in Heaven of guys wanting to carry Arnie's bag. And Dad's in that line.
RIP Mr. Palmer.
God bless Arnie's Army.
