This Day in Golf--Dec. 7

On a day that means so much regarding America's armed forces, this spot today makes note of golf's equivalent "military" leader, the late Arnold Palmer, leader of Arnie's Army. On this date in 1980, Palmer won his first PGA Seniors title; he won a second in 1984. In 1980, at age 51, he won in Miami at Turnberry Isle.
