This Day in Golf History: September 10

This date is one that is remembered in golf history for what it gave the game: seven-time major winner and all-time beloved golf icon Arnold Palmer was born on this day, a Tuesday, in 1929, the first child to Milfred and Doris Palmer in the Latrobe/Ligonier/Youngstown area of Pennsylvania. And also on this date in 2009, on the occasion of his 80th birthday, a statue was unveiled of Palmer at Laurel Valley Golf Course, Ligonier.
