I think it is entirely possible that Palmer's quote was in direct reference to the game of golf and The Masters somehow entered by osmosis. "I didn't get playing professional golf until I was 25 years old. And I always said that if I could make it work, I would play as long as I could walk. And that's kind of my way of doing it. Because I enjoy it. And I'm not going to make any rash statements about quitting or when I'm going to quit or what I'm going to do, because I, again, I enjoy it. And I will do it. I'll play at Latrobe or play here at Laurel Valley or at Bay Hill as long as my old body will allow me to play and I do enjoy it. So that's the fun for me." FIVE months after the death of his wife Winnie, 70-year-old Arnold Palmer was at Augusta for his 46th Masters today vowing to return for as long as he can. "As long as I can walk, I'll play," says Arnold Palmer; THE US MASTERS: As golf mourns two of its favourite sons a 70-year-old legend is determined to continue with the game he loves. http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-61360518.html http://www.pga.com/seniorpga/2005/news_052405_arnold_palmer.html Jan 13 08, 7:56 PM
