Farewell 2016: golfer Arnold Palmer

Farewell 2016: golfer Arnold Palmer by ric Gustafson


He was a chain smoker, loved Coke and was a TV pitchman. He was the son of a working class groundskeeper and yet he was much more. He turned golf from a gentleman's game into a popular pastime. In his six decade career, he won seven major titles. He was the first TV golf superstar. He had charisma, good looks and a muscular physique. He wore his emotions on his sleeve and usually went for broke. He appealed to everyday golfers. He was nicknamed the King.
Arnold Palmer died on September 25 in Pittsburgh PA at the age of 87.
