On This Day
 1986 -- Palmer is surprised to find a camera crew waiting on the
third hole at the TPC at Avenel, the same hole he’d aced the day before
during the Chrysler Cup Pro-Am. Palmer asked why the attention. The
crew responded, “We’re here to film you getting a hole-in-one.” Palmer
told them they were a day late, then proceeds to use the same 5 iron to
again ace the hole, becoming the only professional golfer known to have
aced the same hole on consecutive days. Palmer jokes, “I guess I’ll
have to dig this hole up and take it home.”

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.
