Okay, if you haven’t already seen today’s show … we don’t really have one. Due to the fact that I’m still sick and my voice sounds awful, I wasn’t able to shoot our show for today. So, in it’s place, we’ve put up a brand new reel of my bloopers for you to enjoy and we were able to convince our GolfNow customer service lead, Jin Burns, to get in front of the camera for a short little intro (she wasn’t entirely happy about it but she’s a great sport and did it). But, our trivia question for today on Arnold Palmer is still available and you can still submit an answer. We have also posted the answer to yesterday’s question, along with the name of our winner in today’s Daily Drawing, in the comments section below our video.

Here is the answer to yesterday’s question, which was:
What branch of the military did Arnold Palmer leave college to serve in?
Arnold Palmer went to Wake Forest on a golf scholarship and helped the Demon Deacons win three Southern Conference titles for the school. But, when his best friend and fellow team-member Buddy Worsham was killed in a car accident in 1950, Palmer left Wake Forest and enlisted in the Coast Guard. He served for three years and in 1954 he returned to Wake Forest and led the team to their first Atlantic Coast Conference title. To this day, the Arnold Palmer Award is given out each year at Wake Forest to the most outstanding male student/athlete. So, the correct answer was C - Coast Guard - and if your answer was correct then you were right and you now have one more entry into our daily drawings. Our prize today is a Gun Metal series wedge from Feel Golf and our winner is Tom Beall of Littleton, Colorado. Congratulations, Tom!

Judging from the amount of comments Keri has received here today, she may want to consider getting sick more often! Get well soon, hon…(Jin did a pretty darn good job today, too).
September 11th, 2007 at 5:41 pm
I could use a little of that Jin “karma” and win a little something
hope Keri is feeling better

I had heard somewhere that when Arnold Palmer won the 1955 Canadian Open he was unable to receive the prize money for winning this tournament because at that time the PGA had a rule that stated a golfer had to be a professional for minimally 6 months before they could receive prize money, and Mr. Palmer was not yet into his 6th month as a professional.
