On the recordSeptember 28, 2016
Last Sunday, we said goodbye to a true American hero, not just in the golf world but in American life. Arnold Palmer was larger than life, both on and off the golf course. After learning to play golf at age 4, he never quit and changed the sport forever. The ``King,'' as he was known, had 62 victories on the PGA Tour, including 7 majors and 10 on the Champions Tour, not to mention his own signature drink that delighted the masses for generations. Mr. Speaker, I have the honor of representing the 12th District of Georgia and the good people who live and work there. Georgia's 12th Congressional District is home to the Augusta National, which hosts the most famous Masters tournament. In Augusta, we consider Arnold Palmer one of our own. He won the coveted green jacket four times: 1958, 1960, 1962, and 1964. He took the Masters and golf to a whole new level in the sports world. The Masters will never be the same. Like Tiger Woods said, ``It's hard to imagine golf without him.'' I am not sure we even want to. Arnie's Army mourns together. We remember the king of golf, the legendary Arnold Palmer. Arnie, you will be sorely missed. ____________________
