Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Arnold Palmer is unquestionably one of the great figures in sport--a world-famous golfer who has won 61 tournaments on the PGA Tour and is still going strong on the Senior PGA Tour as he approaches his 70th birthday. But he is much more than just a legend in the golfing world--he is a highly successful business executive, a golf course designer and consultant, a prominent advertising personality, an aviator--the list is almost endless.
However, his success in so many public areas of his life has not affected his family instincts. He is a devoted husband, father and grandfather; a man who still has that down-to-earth touch that made him so popular and he remains one of the most accessible sporting figures in history. (Perhaps some of the UK's sporting "heroes" should take lessons from him!)
For the first time Arnie Palmer, as he is so popularly known, has recorded his life story. From a relatively humble start to life--his father was a greenkeeper at the Latrobe County Club--Palmer has become one of the world's most successful golfers and a sportsman that the public truly care about. It is, no doubt, due to his magnetic personality and his "common touch"--a sense of kindness and thoughtfulness--that has endeared him to millions of sports followers and golfers around the world, or "Arnie's Army", as they have become so well known.
Arnie's own account of his life story is exactly that--from his childhood and early family life, his years in the Coast Guard Service, his marriage to Winnie Palmer and on to his rise to fame as a golfer and subsequent success in the business world, then his later valiant battle against cancer. This autobiography epitomises the character of Arnold Palmer--open, humorous, generous and thoughtful--and it is one of the greatest human stories of our time.
If you are not already a card-carrying member of "Arnie's Army", you will be after reading his autobiography. --Ben Naylor
