This Day in Arnie Golf--Sept. 10

After highlighting several lesser-known Arnold Palmer Dates in Golf this past week, there's nothing obscure about today's date, when he would have been 88. Arnold Daniel Palmer was born on Sept. 10, 1929, and grew up in Latrobe, Pa. In 15 days, it will have been one year since his death. There is one obscure note to add about Arnie on this day the Walker Cup concludes in Los Angeles: He never played on a Walker Cup team. By the time he would have likely been picked, after winning the U.S. Amateur in 1954, he decided to turn pro by the end of the year and the next match wasn't until May 1955.
