On the 17th tee, there isn't much room to get far away and I was holding my daughter in my arms and standing as far away as I could when Arnie's partner took his club back and just at the top of his swing my daughter made a rather loud noise. It really didn't affect the shot and everyone turned around and smiled, but I was so embarrassed! Arnie grinned and said "No problem, as long as she doesn't do it in MY backswing!"

We finished watching the round and after the 18th hole, Arnie came over to our family and chatted with the children, signed an autograph for my son and myself and joked about what had happened. That was my first "celebrity" golfer and because of my husband's pro career, I came to see Arnie many more times. He is a wonderful man and I will never forget his graciousness at that first meeting.

We lost my husband, John 11 years ago and he thought so much of Arnie and the years he spent working on the Senior Tour with him. Bay Hill will always be so special to my children and I, we always went and John passed away during the tournament 3/15/95. I like to think he's there every year still. Thanks for the memories Arnie!
