Excitement and naked aggression were the ingredients brought to the game by Arnold Palmer.
"Arnies Army" - Thousands of his supporters would turn out to watch him but millions more would follow his movements
on the golfing professional stage through television coverage as golf exploded onto the television scene.
As a son of a professional he played golf from an early age.
Plenty of natural ability and considerable talent coupled with his believe that golf is
a "gentleman's" game stood him in good stead.
His motto was "if you can see it you can hole it" and it was this philosophy that made Arnold Palmer
the most exciting player in the games history and the peoples hero.
