    RIP Arnold. My first set of clubs was Palmer Oversized System. The cavity literally had POS engraved on it. 20-something years later, I still have that original 5 wood in my bag as a little nod to Arnie.

    this is the Arnie I will remember.

    my mom was a huge Arnie fan (Arnie's Army). my old man favored the Golden Bear.

    anyway, one year my mom was volunteering at a PGA tournament.....Arnie hit an errant shot into the gallery and the ball smacked my mom in the shoulder and bounced back into the fairway. My mom had gone by the nickname "Ace" ever since she had been a teenager....the newspaper the next day had a picture of my smiling mom, pointing to her shoulder, and the headline "Arnie makes a hit with Ace."

    RIP Arnie.

    Sad to hear about Arnie. I never was a big golf fan but always appreciate a class act and that you were.

    RIP Arnold Palmer.

    Should be a 4 day event. They spend 4 days practicing and then the actual competition lasts 3 days. Kinda silly.

    but some guys play 36 holes on the friday and saturday ...

    when do they announce the pairings? ... interesting that the US is proclaiming itself to be the best Ryder Cup team ever assembled and it doesn't include Tiger (at least not as a player) ...

    Such a stupid comment.

    Tomorrow mornings pairings are announced at the opening ceremony at 5, I believe.

    Dude, I saw Rory post a video of this but there wasn't any commentary so I didn't have any clue who that was or what the situation was. That's pretty awesome.

    HA. Yeah, man. That was stupid. Monty wasn't sure that he'll play early tomorrow because of the heckling that he'll get. Also said he thinks this will stick with him for a while.

    Apparently Willet was getting it pretty good on the range today.
