Go Arnie!
Dear Mr. Palmer,
As junior golfers back in the middle 70's, a group of us went to royal montreal golf club to see the Canadian Open, from Malone, NY.
I insisted on following you on the course. On one particular hole (can't remember exactly) you were preparing to hit a tee shot while the gallery, me included, passed underneath on a bridge. I yelled 'GO ARNIE!' and you looked me right in the eye and winked.
I don't think you did very well in that tournament but it was a moment i'll never forget.
I've read your book 'GO FOR BROKE' many times, it has been an inspiration for me. I've lost many balls in the water and in the woods following your philosophy, but also made many eagles and 'hole-out' birdies, going for the hole.
Happy birthday, Mr. Palmer, and I wish you many more. I would like to speak on behalf of so many of your fans - we would like to see you playing more tournaments, no matter how you score. We will always be there.
From a lowly private in Arnie's Army.
Best regards,
Will Waryha
Malone, NY
