The King
Uff a meg... If your a golfer and visiting me today please take a few minutes and remember the one and only Mr. Palmer. The King. The man who brought golf to the masses more or less alone. He was a pioneer of golf in so many ways and as the picture above shows forever...was too cool for school.
Love was his strongest attribute. Really it was.
I'm from Portland, Oregon and Mr. Palmer played the Fred Meyer Challenge every year, Peter Jacobsens tournament. He was there everytime. One time my father bought tickets to a dinner they were having after the first day and I got to go. Wow. I actually got o rub elbows with him, shake his hand and thank him, I was 19 and was in awe. All the great ones were there but he was the best.
The best.
I am not afraid to admit it - rather proud - I've cried tears for the man today - Every tear is respect.
I love you Mr. Palmer!
