...golf into the modern era and was responsible for popularizing it. Not Jack, Gary, Sam, Ben...it was Arnie's Army that brought golf into the mainstream and made it a sport worthy of television time, and the resultant increasingly big purses. Before Arnie, touring pros struggled from city to city, tournament, with even the top pros often sleeping in their cars because they hadn't hustled enough money from the locals on the tour stop in the non-tournament days to afford even a cheap hotel room.
I know it sounds incredible to you youngun's but 'tis true.
Over the last couple of years we've been inundated with those commercials for that drug that he and Chris Bosh are pushing, and now in the same week Palmer dies and it looks like Bosh can't play anymore. I wonder if we've seen the last of those awkward spots....
By the way, I know this is a weird question, but what's the etiquette on that? Would it be considered inappropriate if they kept airing commercials with a deceased person as the pitchman?
Sad to hear. A hero, and a guy who never forgot the fans.
I was just watching the Simpsons 30 mins ago for a bit and they made an Arnold Palmer joke about the drink. It was just an oddly written joke that just felt weird. And now I read this. Weird just weird.
RIP to a legend. Before my time but he seemed like the definition of class.

Not sure you'd want your target viewers thinking about death when pushing your drug. Especially while they're rattling off the long list of potential side effects.

True. Palmer was up there in age though so it was going to happen sooner or later. I was thinking more along the lines of it just being inappropriate. Either way I think we've seen the last of those commercials. Kevin Nealon needs to find a new crew to have awkward banter with on golf courses.
..was a famous interviewee by Johnie Carson on the Tonight Show about how she helped him prepare his equipment for a tournament. One can look it up...
Without looking it up ... I am betting she answered (in all innocence) ... that she "washes his balls". Then Carson looks into the camera with one of those looks of his. : )
Changed golf.
What a cluster of a day.

And Arn
It's now on Fox News. So yes, sadly, it's legit.
It's on Golf Digest's twitter feed.

Worked every time ...
RIP Mr. Palmer.
