FAYETTEVILLE — I've been mesmerized watching ESPN and Golf Channel takes on the passing of Arnold Palmer. Indeed, he was the king as far as the golf world.
I always knew this, but it was hammered home the last two nights. I sat in tears as I watched it. I was always an Arnie guy.
First, my father, Orville Henry, explained in depth what Arnold Palmer meant to the game. He was a great golf writer and had two brothers who were PGA club pros.
They benefited greatly when the golf business boomed in the '60s.
