HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEND AN AFTERNOON WITH ARNIE? OVER THE PAST FIFTY YEARS, no man has defined golf so much as Arnold Palmer. He's got sixty-one PGA Tour victories to his credit, is a highly sought-after spokesperson, has designed a few golf courses in his day, and even pilots his own plane. But to millions of fans he's not Mr. Palmer, not even Arnold. He's simply Arnie-the world-famous guy next door. His achievements on the green may have made him a celebrated athlete, but it's his approachability and down-home humility that have secured his status as one of the most admired people in and out of sports. Arnold Palmer: Memories, Stories, and Memorabilia from a Life On and Off the Course gives you the opportunity to spend some time with Arnie and enjoy firsthand his entertaining anecdotes. In this, his first illustrated, autobiographical book, he shares the adventures of his life, from his extraordinary win at the U.S. Amateur to his last round at the Masters, from the time he "shot" a caddy to the time he danced with his old friend Jack Nicklaus. Included throughout are rare color and black-and-white photographs from Arnie's personal collection. Arnie has also selected fourteen of his favorite pieces of memorabilia to include as removable facsimiles. From the final round scorecard from his come-from-behind win at the U.S. Open to the innovative "Dial-a-Problem" tip guide created for his fans to letters from President Eisenhower, it's the next best thing to getting a tour of Arnie's personal offices from the man himself.Palmer, Arnold is the author of 'Arnold Palmer Memories, Stories, and Memorabilia from a Life On and Off the Course', published 2004 under ISBN 9781584793304 and ISBN 1584793309.
