I can't think of a better representative of sportsmanship than this man. He was truly one of a kind.

RIP Mr. Palmer I was always one of your army.

RIP Arnold Palmer. You were a class act. Modern golf owes you a huge debt. You inspired the generations that followed.

I'll share some Arnie stories when I have more time.

He was the real deal and he made it a point to stand there and sign autographs for Everyone that wanted one.

One quick story on Arnie. He went to Wake Forest. My dad and I went to the VantageSenior Championship in NC and Arnie was playing.
After his round there was a helicopter waiting to take him to the Wake Forest game where he was being honored at halftime. He had a long line of kids waiting for autographs and his handlers were trying to hurry him into the helicopter. I heard him tell them that the game could wait and he stayed and signed autographs until everyone that wanted one had one. They delayed the halftime show for an extra 15 minutes for him to arrive.

So many great stories about him coming to light with all of these tributes. I think Jim Nantz summed it up best and I'm going to butcher this quote but he basically said so many guys who think they are big, but can't hold a candle to how big he was, aren't as humble and genuine as Arnold Palmer. Golf digest has a good video of clips with people telling stories about him. I for one am going to miss him at the honorary first tee at The Masters this year.

I was a kid reading the sports pages in 1960 when I read about the greatest comeback in U.S. Open history. Arnold Palmer overcame a 7 shot deficit in the final round to beat Nicklaus by 2, despite what the writers said was an "unorthodox"(I had to look that word up) swing and foolish chances I became a fan immediately, cutting his picture out and putting it in my wallet.

He introduced and welcomed the masses to golf. RIP Arnie!
