The King calls it quits

In a move that suprised many, Arnold Palmer stopped mid round at the Administaff Small Business Classic on Friday and decided never to compete again. After 4 holes, he realized that his body just could not handle the game anymore. He said that he was aching all over and was unable to make shots that used to come easy for him. He did finish the round, but did not keep score. There has been a steady decline in the tournaments he has played in recent years. He wanted to make it clear that he was not done with golf completely though. He mentioned that his next passion would be helping to build golf courses. There are already quite a few on the books that he would like to pursue. Palmer did a great deal for the game of golf and he will be missed on the course by all who were lucky enough to see him.
