I cringe every time I hear these pompous idiots on the Golf Channel call him that. He's "Arnold" or "Arnie" or simply Arnold Palmer.

I called him "Babe" and smacked him of the ass.Yeah, I hear you, but "cringing"?
They were just trying to show respect I assume. I had a chance to see the King at the Masters, but never have had the good fortune of being in his close presence. I have been in the close presence of Jack Nicklaus before and I called him Mr. Nicklaus when I shook his hand.
Seems phony and elitist to me. Its just golf. He's "Arnie" I would agree with you though that when speaking to an older person personally that you do not know, unless he has asked you to call him by his first name, you should use the term you used with Jack Nicklaus. Reporters speaking of him should not.Yeah, I hear you, but "cringing"?

Re-read his post.No mention of Lord Byron Nelson?

Serenity now!IKR? I have been the model of self-restraint and understatement until now, but this aggression will not stand
Serenity now!
Tell themselves they are the reincarnation of Bobby Jones?Scr8 up, self...how do these golf channel people SLEEP at night?
Really? Everyone on the Golf Channel calls him that; everyone. Its worse than them calling the British Open "The Open"Might seem kinda formal, which could be replaced with phony I suppose.
I didn't hear it said, so in context might change the way I feel, but I'm not sure he would be bent out of shape if he were alive....then again, maybe he would say...hey, call me Arnie.
