CARLSBAD, Calif. (Sept 10, 2009) - From the entire staff at amateurgolf.com, Happy Birthday to Arnold Palmer, who turns 80 today. Our partner publication, Golfweek Magazine, has a great photo tribute where you can view some of Mr. Palmer's memorabilia, pictures of his recent tribute at a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game, and a video of PGA Tour players' birthday wishes to their undisputed "King".

Great players will come and go, but as an old advertisement a friend of mine has on his refrigerator (which shows a steel shafted driver bent like a fully drawn crossbow) -- "Nobody has ever imposed his will on a golf ball like Arnold Palmer."
