Balls Out Blog: Arnold Palmer takes blogger's advice, won't play Senior PGA Championship

Arnold Palmer has taken retired WorldGolf.com blogger "Bangkok Al" Katz's advice to heart and bagged out of this year's Senior PGA Championship. What's more, according to this story, he's "kind of put all his golf on hold."

In his "All the world's a stage, and it's time for Arnold Palmer to exit" blog entry, Al wrote, "We don't need to recount what Palmer has meant to the game of golf. But watching him swing a golf club carries the whiff of tragedy now."

And in his follow-up entry, "Stop televising Arnold Palmer, part 2", Al wrote: "Let's celebrate what [Arnold Palmer] was by dropping the curtain on the sad clown act he's got now."

Fans of the King were not amused.
