Arnie still the King

[BD80]

Yeah, yeah, Tiger, at 37, is dating Lindsey Vonn, 28, who was in the SI swimsuit edition.

Arnie, at 82, is hosting Kate Upton, 20, at HIS tournament at Bay Hill. Yes, that Kate Upton, the SI Swimsuit COVERGIRL.

I bet Arnie is thinking, when he looks at Kate Upton: "I'd like to be 22 again" !!

All joking aside. Arnie is, and has always been, a class act. It's hard to think of any athlete who has conducted himself better than Arnie has over all of his decades in the spotlight.

He was from a different era - when indescretion was not reported. Arnie had many "moments."

Ricky Bobby: Okay, Glenn. Everything cool that Susan said, you wrecked it.

Arnold Palmer, your paradigm of octogenarianism!

Bonus points for being part of the best thing a UNC grad and Maryland grad ever did:

LOL, yea, there were always rumors that Arnie was not only playing golf in his heyday but was also "playing the field". Who knows how true these rumors were. I believe he liked to have a few beers with the other golfers and sportwriters after his round too. And the media in those days did not feel the need to expose the indiscretions of athletes (and politicians - imagine if JFK were around today?).

However, it is still hard to think of anyone in the public realm who had conducted himself in a more exemplary fashion than Arnie has over the years. Maybe Rod Laver in tennis?

In the 1960's, my late father ran into Arnie in a drugstore in Worcester, MA when Arnie was playing in a local tournament and he got Arnie to sign his autograph on a corner of the Wall Street Journal that my father had just bought. I had that fading, yellowing scrap of paper for decades, until it finally disintegrated.

In 1966 I met Arnie at Doral the week before the tournament. He signed a dollar bill for me (at my Dad's request). It's around somewhere...

Totally random aside, but my (now deceased) grandfather started a company that de-acidifies paper, which keeps it from falling apart. Most of their business is with university libraries and the Library of Congress, but they did have a consumer spray around for a few years (it was way too expensive to catch on).

I hope no one takes this as an advertisement (I don't even think it's possible to get the consumer spray any more), more that there are all kinds of random companies out there with solutions for stuff like this.

Actually, the product is still available.
