Except Tiger is the GOAT golfer. No Bobby Jones?

Bad list

Tiger is several majors behind Jack and will never catch him.

Good point about Bobby Jones, who won the US Open in 1926 at a course right around the corner from where I live.

150,000 is, of course, divisible by 3.

Other than being the 2nd or 3rd greatest golf player of all time, what did he do?[/quote]

Others can chime in on his impact on the golf world but ever heard of Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children? Or the women's hospital he set up in his wife's name. Those are just two examples.

Hope that was a troll response.

I doubt Hogan was winning any popularity contest. Guy was a D*CK. And obviously as a list of the greatest golfers to play the game, this list is a total joke.

When I was a kid (60s/70s), AP was considered the greatest of the time.

So did Ma and he's not considered the greatest coach.

My mother was born in Latrobe, my grandfather went to high school with Arnold Palmer (although they were not acquaintances), and most of my extended family is from Latrobe. Mr. Palmer loved that part of Pennsylvania and did what he could for the area, despite the economy being devastated by the loss of manufacturing capacity. He started many businesses and I believe still spent significant time in the area, despite all the places he could have been. Mr. Palmer is beloved in the Latrobe area, and he will be missed by many.

who?

That seemed to be a pretty random person to make up.

Rolling Rock is brewed in Latrobe.

there are more people alive on this planet than those who have died. If people stop having kids then less people will have to die
