On This Day
 1970 -- The Associated Press announces Arnold Palmer is its Athlete of
the Decade. Palmer receives 231 of 655 votes; Bill Russell is second
with 1994; Sandy Koufax is third with 56. Others receiving votes
include Johnny Unitas, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Bart Starr, Jim
Brown, Wilt Chamberlain and Bobby Hull. “The win by the 40-year-old fairway
slugger from the little mill town of Latrobe is a a victory for
personal magnetism. Palmer is the epitome of the modern athlete -- part
actor, part ham, sports idol and business tycoon. He turned into the
darling of the TV tube and is perfectly equipped for that role.”

What is AP Experience?
The Experience section of ArnoldPalmer.com is more than a website. It's
an interactive museum.
Researchers can read the scores of every round
Palmer's ever shot in competitive play. Fans can study Palmer's contributions to
aviation history -- he set a 1976 speed record by flying around the world in
just 58 hours. They can spend time with the old master in his workshop. They can
get swing tips, advise on how to sink pressure putts, straighten out a slice,
and grill a tasty ribeye on the backyard barbecue. The AP Experience takes a
lifetime of published Palmer stories, photographs and facts and distills them
into a searchable website that will let amateur biographers and fans delve into
the Arnold Palmer that interests them the most.
