Here’s a story about Arnold Palmer pooping on a green

Everybody poops, even Arnold Palmer.

Masters week leads to some magical moments. Frozen time capsules like Gary Player telling you about the time Arnold Palmer pooped on a green in Japan.

You know what they say about assumptions, so we’re not going to postulate whether he actually pooped or if Player is one of those weird people who use “poop” as a euphemism for fart.

Extra credit for Player finishing the story while trying to do his attempt at a Japanese accent. By “extra credit” we mean “Never do that again Gary.”
