Arnold Palmer and Bob Hope | good friends goofing around
ARNOLD PALMER - EVERYONE’S HERO
Golf was a rich man's game. Strictly country club, and then came Arnold Palmer. Here was a guy just like most of us, rough around the edges. He was a big hitter with a limited short game. Sound familiar. He had that wild swing, and when he missed a shot, we missed. He was almost always coming from behind, making that now famous charge. Arnie was the guy next door. He brought golf in to our living room with the advent of television. He was our hero. When he won, we all won.
