Here are a few homespun stories about Arnold Palmer:

One day, Palmer was playing in a tournament with a young amateur. The amateur was nervous and not playing well. Palmer took the amateur aside and gave him some advice. "Just relax," Palmer said. "Pretend like you're out there playing with your friends." The amateur took Palmer's advice and went on to win the tournament.

Palmer was always a gracious winner and a humble loser. He never forgot his roots and always took the time to sign autographs for his fans.

One day, Palmer was playing in a pro-am tournament with a group of amateurs. One of the amateurs was a wealthy businessman who was not very good at golf. The businessman was bragging about his business success and how he could buy and sell Palmer. Palmer listened patiently to the businessman's bragging. Then, Palmer turned to the businessman and said, "That's all well and good, but can you make a three-foot putt?"

Palmer was a true gentleman and a great ambassador for the game of golf. He will be remembered as one of the greatest players of all time and one of the most popular figures in the history of the game.
