On This Day
1969 -- Sports writers around the country decry the U.S.G.A. forcing
Palmer to qualify for the U.S. Open championship he won in 1960. Bruce
Phillips of The Raleigh Times writes, “Arnold Palmer not in the Open?
Might as well take all the slot machines out of Vegas, shoot a Western
without a horse, run a political campaign without a promise. The man
who took golf out of the country clubs and made it an addiction for
millions must now join driving range operators, unknown assistant pros
and amateurs in proving he merits to play in the Open.”

What is AP Experience?
The Experience section of ArnoldPalmer.com is more than a website. It's
an interactive museum.
Researchers can read the scores of every round
Palmer's ever shot in competitive play. Fans can study Palmer's contributions to
aviation history -- he set a 1976 speed record by flying around the world in
just 58 hours. They can spend time with the old master in his workshop. They can
get swing tips, advise on how to sink pressure putts, straighten out a slice,
and grill a tasty ribeye on the backyard barbecue. The AP Experience takes a
lifetime of published Palmer stories, photographs and facts and distills them
into a searchable website that will let amateur biographers and fans delve into
the Arnold Palmer that interests them the most.
