Kindness and Respect
In 1983 I was able to attend my first official round of golf and it was at the Masters. It was interesting to see how quiet the gallery was when it counted. We walked to the first green to see some of the great players come through. Arnie holed a lengthy putt for par and quickly left the green. As everyone applauded politely, one fan spoke as Arnold passed through the ropes. The fan quitely said "Nice putt Arnold". Arnie looked back and said "Thank you".
It would have been easy to have kept going, deep in concentration for the next hole. It fact most golfers I saw that day did not acknowledge a fan's comments. However, Arnie did.
This is why we love him so. Because he cares about us too.
