First time I saw Mr. Palmer in person
In 1966, Mr. Palmer came to Midland, TX to play in an exhibition with Bob Charles,Bobby Nichols and Gary Player ( not for sure ). My Mother took myself and my twin brother to the exhibition to watch our hero ( Mr.Palmer ). We were following the golfers on a par 4 hole and we were trying to get as close as possible to Mr. Palmer. My twin brother was behind me and by accident pushed me forward and I clipped Mr. Palmer's heel while he was walking. Needless to say Mr. Palmer turned around and very politely told me not to follow so close. A very embarrassing moment, but Mr. Palmer was very nice about the whole deal.
