Can’t think of any sports major superstar who could pilot a jet airplane.
Arnold Palmer did.
Arnold Palmer has the most majors for a man who also served his country.
Yes, Arnie was in the Coast Guard for three years. He made the uniform look good.
He turned 87 Saturday and he is still THE KING.
Arnold brought golf into the limelight. He made golf cool, he made the British Open significant.
Arnold Palmer invented the huge gallery throng.
He invented the pants-hitch.
He invented the charge.
He invented his own “Army.”
Arnold Palmer also invented endorsement money. It is because of Palmer that golfers can make huge endorsement money.
Palmer is still a sought-after spokesman, even today.
Yes, Arnie is still The King Of Cool.
Happy 87th birthday Arnold.
We’ll have a Rolling Rock in your honor.
