Remembering Arnold Palmer with my Guests: Peter Kessler & Bob Friend Jr.
We remembered Arnold Palmer
this week on Next on the Tee. My guests on this episode are: the voice of
golf, Peter Kessler and Champions Tour Pro and Pittsburgh native Bob Friend
Jr.
Peter Kessler - Peter was there when they launched The Golf
Channel back in 1995, a venture that Arnold Palmer was the driving force
behind. Peter interviewed Mr. Palmer several times and they became very good
friends. He shared some of his favorite stories about Mr. Palmer including
when he played with Mr. Palmer in the Bay Hill Shootout and disregarding Mr.
Palmer's advice on how the play the 18th and costing them a bet with the other
twosome they were playing against. Peter also shared details of the interview
he did with Mr. Palmer following the death of his first wife Winnie. We also
talked about the Masters, and the Ryder Cup.
Bob Friend Jr. - Bob has played on the Web.com, PGA and
Champions Tours since 1990. He has 2 professional wins and 26 Top 10 finishes.
He is also a member at Oakmont Country Club and played with Mr. Palmer several
times after originally meeting him at age 8. Bob's father, Bob Friend Sr.,
was a Pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates in
the 50's and early 60's, and they
are member of Oakmont Country Club, which is just down the street a bit from
Mr. Palmer's club at LaTrobe. We'll hear some his favorite stories
about Mr. Palmer including when he played with he and Seve
Ballesteros in the 1999 Bay Hill Invitational, and a practice round at the 1994
U.S. Open at Oakmont, Mr. Palmer's final U.S. Open appearance.
Join me every
Saturday at 10:00 AM as I talk with PGA & LPGA Tour pros,
legends, and top instructors.
"You were the most informed interviewer
I've ever encountered, not the easy things but the obscure. Good
work." Paul Stankowski, PGA Tour Pro
