Seeing Arnie in Person

At a practice roound for the 1980 U.S. Open in Baltusrol, New Jersey, I was watching Arnie practice putting. When he finished he waved a couple of youngsters, that had been waiting to get his autograph, onto the putting green. I and a number of other people followed. I was actually shoulder-to shoulder with the him as I too tried to score a prized signature. Unfortunately, there were so many people that he never took my scorecard. Arnie has always been my, and my father's, favorite golfer and I remember that day quite fondly as the day I rubbed shoulders with the King of Golf.
