Arnold
Palmer: Better as a Golfer or a
Beverage? Discuss
Beverage?
Is that a question or a tentative answer?
Some of both, I'm sure.
Alright then. Arnold Palmer is a professional golfer who has amassed 62 PGA tour wins over his lengthy career....a mere 20 PGA wins behind record-holder Sam Snead. Everyone knows this.
Arnold Palmer is also a refreshing beverage, as some of you may be aware. It's quite tasty, if not imaginative. An official Arnold Palmer consists of 1/2 iced tea and 1/2 lemonade. Not much of a creative stretch there, considering a substantial amount of iced tea found in the United States includes lemon, be in in the form of juice, lemonade, or actual pieces of lemon. As a golfer, I imagine Arnold Palmer was more creative than this.
While nobody knows the real story of how the drink came to be widely known by that name, the refreshing beverage will live on long after Arnold's golf career. Which is more important in a legacy? History or longevity? It's an interesting dilemma.
