If you work in the golf industry, there’s an excellent chance Arnold Palmer impacted your life in some way. Superintendents and other industry figures spent Sunday night and Monday morning reacting to the news of Palmer’s death and offering personal memories of “The King.”
The great thing about Arnie, he was invested in the sport. Played it so well, but gave back to it with the same determination. #TheKing

I'm more grateful now than ever to have met the King on #8 at Pine Valley. A legend and truly kind man who said hello to a kid watering tees
