He seemed like a true gentleman & the golf world has lost a great ambassador & legend. My thoughts & prayers to his family. RIP Mr Palmer

Arnold Palmer seemed to me a very charming man and a class act. May he rest in peace.

It's sad to lose one of the biggest names in golf. RIP, Mr. Palmer.

RIP Arnold, very sad to hear this. An absolute great of the game and a gentleman. Although he was at his best long before I was born, I was impressed to read that he was still playing well into his seventies.

When I was much younger I used to enjoy playing my Dad's golf game on the computer. I tried to play against Arnold, under the mistaken impression that he was just some random guy (rather than the one of the greatest players of all time, and a formidable opponent). He kept beating me and I got so annoyed that I deleted him from the game! I now look back on that with a mix of amusement and shame - as far as bad sportsmanship is concerned, deleting an opponent takes thing onto a new level. :blush:

In more recent, mellower times where anyone with the temerity to beat me does not live in fear of being deleted, the Bay Hill Club & Lodge (home of the annual Arnold Palmer Invitational) has become one of my favourites to play on the PlayStation.

RIP Arnold Palmer. :( Such a great golfer and I love the drink he invented (half lemonade and half iced tea). Such a sad day yesterday in the sports world with both Arnold and baseball player Jose Fernandez passing away.

[FWIW]

RIP Arnold Palmer. What a true class act. He will be missed.
