Growing up in suburban NY in the 60's I got to see both Arnold and Eddie play golf at the "Westchester Classic" pro-am day at the Westchester Country Club. I was about 9 years old..and didn't recognize many of the other "celebrities" back then..but both Ed Sullivan and Johnny Mathis were members. I knew those faces.😎
I was lucky enough to follow Arnold Palmer, and also play against him in some tour events. He was incredibly popular. No other golfer has ever been loved by millions around the world. He was a great man ! He was so great with people. ❤❤ Jack Nicklaus may have more victories, but only 20% of the popularity. Arnie was the man. Nicklaus was the slow, fat villain.
Ed is as bad an interviewer as the present day dumbo interviewers. He asked Arnie to explain the golf swing to the viewers. Less than halfway thru the explanation Ed interupts and starts talking about the right elbow being tucked. A very important aspect of the golf swing is the transition from the backswing to the downswing. Arnold never got to explain that because Ed interrupted. Some things never change.
An Arnold Palmer right now sounds good. 🙂
I'll drink to that...

Wow interesting! Did not know that either. WCC is a very nice golf course.
This was not only fun, but interesting to watch. Something neat was how enthralled the audience was with Arnold. Thank you for sharing this.
yes and they and us got a little golf lesson from a legend.
My late brother caddied for Arnold Palmer in the mid 1960s at Pinehurst Country Club. Arnold paid him $100. That was a lot of money back then.
great moment, love it!
Ed was asking some really good questions.
Eddie was a golfer he loved the game ....
card carrying member of "Arnie's Army". he was the MAN!
Can you please upload the Ben Hogan interview! I’d love to see it.
Audience shot not from the show?
Is there a way to post full shows?
Agree - if you look closely you will see clues in the hair, glasses, ties that this is not a 1961 audience.

I hear Arnold was quite the man..
I wish its get work
