    Arnold Palmer is celebrating his 85th birthday today.

    The Golf Channel is airing specials on Arnie tonight. I'm sure they will be replayed.

    While doing some TV work for CBS in the '90s and early 2000s, I had the pleasure of spending 10 minutes on the tee of a front 9 par 3 at Southern Hills in Tulsa OK in 1994 with Arnie. It was easy to see why the fans loved him.

    Happy Birthday Arnie and hope you have many more.

    Looks like I'm the only golf fan on the board.

    When I saw the thread title I thought it was about Elvis or Richard Petty

    You're not the only golfer, most of us are working! The only reason I can check in right now is because I took a couple days off. I work in a secure facility and our internet is pretty well locked down. No non-work related surfing at all.


    I thought it was about Elvis too!

    Happy Birthday Arnie - one of the good guys :)

    I saw that a couple of hours ago. I saw him perform many, many years ago. Hell of a show. Probably played 90+ minutes.

    The question is, how old is Lucille?
