![]() “That’s probably the only thing I didn’t emulate. “One of the things he used to say was, ‘If you’re going to sign something, make sure it’s legible,’” Barden said. That signature, slanted so effortlessly and legibly to the right, has found its way on Arizona ice tea and lemonade cans and the memorabilia golf clubs and bags in the homes of Arnie’s Army members. “They know it’s going to be top-end, his signature is on it, and when his signature is on something it means it’s awesome. “When you have a Palmer signature golf course, people flock to that golf course,” Barden said. The association of Arnold Palmer’s name on the five renowned courses draws golf lovers of all ages to the desert courses. Wildfire consists of two 18-hole courses, one an Arnold Palmer Signature course. “He liked to hit a draw so he designed his golf course how he liked to hit.” “He played a right to left draw, so his holes bend right to left,” Barden said. Coast Guard body, towering over the tee, his eye moving right to left. ![]() Ten miles away at Wildfire Golf Club in Phoenix, club pro Erik Barden recalls Palmer’s style - the 5-foot-10 U.S. That feat landed him the Donald Ross Award for lifetime achievement, given by the American Society of Golf Course Architects. The same year he took home his first Claret Jug, Palmer created Arnold Palmer Enterprises, under which he supervised the design of 300 new or remodeled golf courses. Legendary golfer Arnold Palmer dies at 87 Five courses in Arizona “He’s a father figure to golfers,” said Mike McGuire, the assistant pro at Starfire.“Even those who drink his drink now know his legacy and what he’s left behind.” “It’s Palmer by a Stroke,” the “New World” headline reads, one of many documenting the victories he achieved in his 52 years striding the fairway as a “determined, bronzed giant with a Marlon Brando profile.’’Īt age 87, the King, as he was fondly known, died Sunday in Pittsburgh. Yet he still beams that boyish grin at golfers headed to the course that he designed. Also, the new GM of FOH is by far the best management I have ever worked with at the golf course (a million times better than the previous one).SCOTTSDALE – In the entrance of the Starfire Golf Club, legend Arnold Palmer smiles in a blue beret while sinking his winning putt in the 1961 British Open - his first of two. I do have to say, the head chef is professional and has her head screwed on straight. I have never hated a job or management so much. Very unprofessional behind the scenes at this golf course and I highly recommend you find another golf course to work at if you are considering working there. The manager of events was unprofessional too, doing the least amount of work possible and several times I heard her talking bad about employees and management when she thought I couldn't could hear her. ![]() I felt very uncomfortable and anxious to the point of feeling sick every time I had to walk into that workplace, knowing that no one would stick up for me even though the way I was being treated was not ok and everyone knew it. I had several occasions where I was treated in a disgusting way by other employees and the management couldn't have cared less about me and how I felt. The general manager of the entire golf course doesn't care about anyone besides himself and is an entitled lazy man. For many reasons, the staff gets scared when the owners walk in the door (including the GMs) and scrambles to do the right thing when they are there. Honestly, I have never been more unhappy with the management staff at a job. I would give management and job culture 0 stars if I could.
