Happy Birthday & Anniversary
Hi Arnold!
On the eve of this years Canadian Open I would like to thank you for the many happy memories you & the game of golf have offered me over the last 50 years.
Your Canadian Open win at Lambton Golf Club in 1955 got me interested in the game. I caddied during my teenage years at the Islignton Golf Club, just a few miles south of Lambton G.C., and later worked in the Pro Shop under Les Franks - CPGA pro.
To use one of your many phrases- I would hit some good shots & some not to good shots. The trouble was I would hit more of the not so good shots. I still love the game, to tee it up, hit it hard & enjoy the walk.
Arnold, have a great birthday & thanks for the memories.
Len V.
PS: I let my daughter read this email. She said she knows who Arnold Palmer is because I always talked about you. She also said the only other golfers she knows are the ones on Tiger Woods Golf computer game.
