During a hall-of-fame career as a professional golfer, he posted 92 professional victories (12 of which were on the PGA Senior Tour). And for over half a century, Palmer (pictured here) has remained one of the most admired athletes in the world. As a young boy, he learned the game from his father, Deacon Palmer, who was the head professional of the Latrobe Country Club in Pennsylvania. In recalling his father’s golf lessons, the younger Palmer observed, "Pap believed in keeping the game as simple as possible. He felt that if a player mastered simple fundamentals, then his swing and his entire game would develop naturally." Deacon Palmer was right: If you want to hit a hole-in-one in the game of life, first master the basics…and then keep mastering them.
