Instead, it views him as a man—his relationships with his friends, golfing colleagues, business partners, and family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a portrait of a Palmer whose fans—\"Arnie's Army\"—adore him, including, for instance, a woman hit on the shoulder by an errant drive in 1988. When Arnie arrived at the scene, she pointed to her shoulder and gushed, \"This is such an honor to be hit by you. This is the greatest day of my life!\" Arnie gave her a gallant kiss on the cheek, then gave her the ball as a souvenir.
