Arnold Palmer Was A Great Role Model

  • Tuesday, September 27, 2016

Roy, thanks for an amazing tribute to Arnold Palmer. I grew up in Pennsylvania in the 60's and 70's and Arnie was one of my early heroes. I never had the pleasure to see him in a tournament. My Dad saw him once.

Arnold is the epitome of a great role model when it comes to athletes. Tom Watson is another hero of mine as well. Arnie brought class and dignity to the game. He was an example of the American dream. His legacy will live on for generations to come. 

Today's youth do not have good role models in regards to pro athletes.  If today's athletes had one fourth of Arnie's class and dignity they would be someone to look up to.

I never knew Arnold had ties to Chattanooga. That makes me admire his legacy even more.
