I thought I would share a few pictures of "The King", Arnold Palmer and a story.

One of the surgeons I work with went to Wake Forest just as Palmer did. The story he shared is that Palmer would get a group of people together outside of a building on campus and accept bets on whether or not he could hit a golf ball from a great distance away through a specific window. The bets would be placed, he'd tee it up and knock the glass out of the exact window he predicted nearly every single time.

Sharing a few golfing tips with Kate Upton.





In 2007, Wake Forest played Louisville in the Orange Bowl. Arnold Palmer represented his alma mater of Wake and Muhammad Ali represented his home town of Louisville both as Honorary Captains.





Arnold Palmer made golf cool especially when TV came along. Who could possibly know how many picked up the sticks because of him?


Arnold Palmer at the 1965 U.S. Open. Look up cool and you'll see this picture.
