1960 Insurance City Open
As co-chairman of the 1960 ICO Tournament, my co-chairman and I went to Akron to see if Arnie was going to attend our tournament in Wethersfield Conn. After looking everywhere we were standing outside the Clubhouse when we felt a strong arm around our sholders, with the following remark, "Hi guys, heard you were here, I will be playing, we'll be in touch." and with that he was gone.
With that simple statement, he made our tournament a success.
Arnie won the tournament in a sudden death playoff on the third hole, after coming from five holes behind on the last day.
There is only one Arnie, a great golfer, and a great person.
