I'm sure there were others but Arnold Palmer was the first BIG golfer to bring the sport to "Lower class/Lower income" golfers. If it weren't for him I would have never picked up golf. One Arnold Palmer tea and a google search later the next day I'm playing my first round. Don't let stereotypes change your view on things. I grew up not having much, but when I started playing golf I realized just what a beautiful and humbling sport it is. Let the greats continue to be examples... anyone can do it. anyone has the talent.. anyone can be great.. you just have to be positive and work at it. Thank you Arnold for all that you've done for the game. From one person in a town in Minnesota, THANK YOU.
I was watching this as a 12 year old. I knew little about golf history but was an enthusiastic watcher of the game. This was probably the first or second major I watched properly. I remember seeing Arnold Palmer +11 and saying "who is this guy? Arnold Palmer. Absolute rubbish." This gave my Dad a good laugh.
I love his spirit, he didn't want to stop and pose for a photo yet, he wanted to *play some damn golf!* Even though everyone knew what a special and final occasion it was, he made sure to leave EVERY drop of competitive juice on the golf course.
It’s impossible to not miss this man!! A legend on and off the golf course!!

We were all saying “oh please go in”
THE KING
I love his spirit, he didn't want to stop and pose for a photo yet, he wanted to *play some damn golf!* Even though everyone knew what a special and final occasion it was, he made sure to leave EVERY drop of competitive juice on the golf course.
He did stop on the Swilcan Bridge and pose for photos.
No one like him, before or since. He made it all possible.
Ridiculous
@@robbie192 Obviously, you either are young and have no recollection of Palmer, or you know very little about golf, or both.
Awfully nice of all those boats and helicopters to applaud the King
Wdym by boats and helicopters
@@ethansura I think he means the sound of the crowds applause sounds like helicopters because 90's TV audio was what it was
@@BigBoshV I get it
Sure do miss AP.
