This looks like a glorious course what makes it so hard.

This course sounds great i want to get there.

i practice at rancho several times at night. somehow even though we played there several times, i never once managed to finish 18 holes. supposedly it s the busiest golfcourse in the us.

I really enjoyed the article. The golf industry is lucky to have a person so influential like Arnie.

Sometimes you win sometimes you lose... ouch!

I have a buddy who shot a 16 on a par 4 this week....his comments, after omitting the cussing, weren't nearly as humorous as Arnie's.

Palmer is great!
But I can do better, I can play 12 without penalties! :-)

Course management is one of the most important aspects of shooting lower scores. I'll bet Arnie still broke 90, even though he made a 12!

I love Arnie's comment, and I'm inspired by it. That the great can shoot a 12 is hard to believe. By the way, I broke 90 today! 89!!!

What happened? You've been bloging for five years and I sent a comment and congratuations and then you stopped. Are you on vaction or did you realise something after 5 years!

I never would have guessed too

Very funny story...I think you get a sense of Arnie's sense of humor with this. I agree that it is also inspirational that one of the best ever can shoot a 12 on any whole.

Maybe it's meant to act as inspiration for others. Even a bad golfer can probably beat a 12 on a par 5...

I wonder if Arnie actually made that comment: “I missed a putt for 11.” Such a comment has been attributed to so many people now that it is hard to believe where that phrase really originated or for that matter, which golfer was trying to drown his sorrow of a big number on a hole with such wit!

I guess this incident just proves that golf is so much about being able to manage yourself around a course and even the best in the business can be knocked back. With someone as flamboyant as Arnie, to throw a challenge like that and say there is no chance you are going to make the green in two, he will do all that it takes to prove you wrong. So while a golfer who has just taken up the game might be willing to take the medicine and move on, a champion golfer will be stubborn enough to prove a point.

I guess that is probably the kind of attitude required at the highest level to be able to be such a success and with their aggressive approach, such golfers succeed more often than not.

The idea is really nice of putting a cute little plaque out there for every golfer who stands on that tee and shanks, hooks, pulls, duffs or carries out some unfortunate act on the ball when he tries to wield the club. A gentle reminder, that even the best can falter!

Love this blog. My dad is a fan and sent me your Banden Dunes post.

I added you as a favorite blog of mine at www.blueteesredtees.blogspot.com.

It's a blog my wife and I run to review courses that appeal to couples who love to golf together.
