I heard on the radio today that the public service for Arnie will be held Tuesday, Oct. 4. This is possibly in consideration of the Ryder Cup being played this weekend. For this reason alone, every single member of both teams, the captains, assistants, and anyone having anything to do with the Ryder Cup should be in attendance. And in Ryder Cup official function dress!

Okay as some on this site are very data-centric, and I like what Nate Silver and crew do on FiveThirtyEight.

They have an article up that presents the support for the case that only Jack and Tiger were better than Arnie

I loved Arnold Palmer. I told my dad that it is rare for a person to die and be thought of positively by everyone.  He said he had issue with womanizing(no biggie) and some early anti-Semitic thoughts.

Good article. Caveat that the analysis applies to the modern era (1968 forward) only.

Also, the Major shares stat is cumulative based on past performance not on recent season form like strokes gained. Based on his demonstrated talent level during the season and Jack's likely decline (relative to his peak years), I expect Watson's upset wasn't as great as this other article of theirs argues: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/jordan-spieths-collapse-also-required-a-great-comeback/

My room mate when I lived in Cincinnati got married in that church. His wife was from Latrobe. We stayed at her parents house which was across the street from the golf course.

I watched the whole funeral on golf channel last night. Twice. I thought Jim Nantz speech was pretty good, though nothing could top Sam Saunders'.
