No one brought more people to play the game. He'll be missed.

Watching as I type.

The 'King' will be missed at Augusta.

Past Coast Guardsman was 'on the ball'

YN3 Arnold Palmer, 23, played in the North and South Amateur Golf Championship held at Pinehurst Country Club, Pinehurst, N.C., April 20, 1953, while on leave from his yeoman duties in the 9th District Auxiliary office. Prior to entering the Coast Guard, Arnold attained three titles while attending Wake Forest College: Southern Conference Champion, 1948-49; Southern Intercollegiate Champion, 1950; and medalist in the Intercollegiate Championship, 1949-50.

Arnie is the one who started me playing.

I always wore his golf gloves with the umbrella on them and his golf shirts. Playing in South Carolina in college, I developed a strategy for preserving the gloves so they would last longer. Pitched a loud fit when the pro shop stopped carrying them.

I took up golf at age 45, I'm 50 now, but I always knew who Arnold Palmer was and what he was about even when I was in my football mindset that said that any sport that didn't involve contact wasn't a sport.

I salute Arnie.
