I was reading some golf news online yesterday when I came across a story about Arnold Palmer preparing to pilot his last flight. Most people know that Arnie was among the first pro athletes to own and pilot his own plane. His pilot's license will be expiring soon and while he'll still be flying around the globe in his fancy jet, he will not longer be flying the plane himself.
When Arnie pilots his Cessna Citation 10 jet from Palms Springs to Orland on January 31st for his final journey, he will have logged almost 20,000 hours in the cockpit. That's more than two years in flight! What an amazing stat from a guy who not only revolutionized the game, but showed future generations of golfers another way to travel.
