Arnold Palmer's Favorite Golf Holes
Arn,
I believe it was the early 70's, you were hosting a Television program called, I believe, "Arnold Palmer's Favorite Golf Holes".
If you recall, you would play a hole with a guest.
One day you had your father as your guest player. I believe you hit this particular par three safely, but your dad was on the other side of the green, about an acre away fron the cup. Well, as you may recall, your Dad holed it for a bird leaving you with a mediocre par.
The part I remember well, and got the biggest kick out of was the look on his face when it went in. He had this "Of course it went in, that's what I was trying to do!" I also felt that he was thinking, "Of course I outplayed Arnold. I'm his Dad."
Thanks,
B. Linderman
