Arnold Palmer rises from his regular lunch table in the men's grill at Latrobe Country Club.
Heads turn and Palmer returns smiles as he approaches the table where I'm seated with his grandson and star pupil, Will Wears, to learn how the 14-year-old played this morning. Palmer stands behind Will's chair, places those great big oven mitts of his on the boy's shoulders, and asks: "So, what did you shoot today?"
With a tinge of disappointment in his voice, Will reports carding another ho-hum 73, matching the score he posted to win Latrobe's junior club championship in July. It wasn't quite the sterling 68 he had crafted recently while partnering with grandpa in a match.
"Did you do as I told you?" Palmer begs to know.
