It's sad not having Arnie ( Palmer ) and Jack ( Nicklaus ) here. We've had so many good times but everything shall pass.

He's one guy we admire, ... We love Arnie. The best way I can sum this up is when I tell my kids to look up the definition of class, his picture is next to the word. That's what we think about him. Not one person out here doesn't think that.
About the time the fourth guy read it, ... he said, 'Time out We've got to tell everybody.' We had fun with it. I don't know many golfers who wouldn't love to have the opportunity to play golf with Arnie. It brought the meeting to a halt.
He relies a little bit less on the shouting, more on planning and a schedule. I have found Arnie very good, he is a very open person to what I say. He is serious, he is very keen, intelligent, and knows the players.
He's the best I've ever worked with. He's helped me so many times. We all have the confidence that Rip is going to be fine, especially with Arnie helping him.
Arnie played 50 years and quit, so maybe I'll play 51 and hang it up.
He congratulated me, ... and I put my arm around him and said, 'I'm sorry.' At a time like that, you really feel for a fellow competitor. People still focus on the total collapse of Arnie, but they don't realize I shot 32 on the back nine to force that playoff. There were only 15 rounds under par at Olympic in '66, and I had four of them.
Arnie is going to be that link player who can play the long diagonal ball from midfield or play quick possession passes to set up the front runners. Arnie has a deep package of skills and experience, and she is a player who is ready to explode onto the college scene. A few injuries have kept her under the radar, but I expect her to be a key ingredient in the Hoosiers' future success.
