About Arnie’s Army
The phrase "Arnie's Army" originated during the 1958 Masters Tournament when Arnold Palmer's enthusiastic fan base among the military personnel at nearby Camp Gordon came to support him, marching behind him from hole to hole like a faithful battalion. Over the years, this term grew to encompass the vast crowds of fans and supporters who followed Palmer throughout his storied career. The loyalty and passion of "Arnie's Army" were unmatched, making them a memorable part of golf history.
With the establishment of the Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation, "Arnie's Army" has evolved from a term representing sports enthusiasts to a powerful force for philanthropy, carrying on Palmer's legacy of generosity and community support. The "army" now includes donors, volunteers, and advocates who are committed to continuing Palmer’s charitable mission. Their collective efforts, in the spirit of Palmer's warmth and charisma, ensure that "Arnie's Army" remains a profound influence, not just in the realm of golf, but in the lives of those they help.
About the Umbrella
The Golf Lite - Arnie's Army Legacy Umbrella is performance-driven with robust protection that allows golf enthusiasts a way to pay homage to Palmer’s legacy come rain or shine. With its sleek design and lightweight structure, it promises to be an indispensable accessory for any golfer.
The umbrella's canopy features a classic and sleek design, with “I Am a Member of Arnie’s Army” in bold lettering. The first of many Arnie’s Army umbrellas to come, this umbrella is a symbol of solidarity and support, merging functionality with a sense of belonging to a community driven by Arnold Palmer’s legacy.
In addition to being nice on the eyes, the Legacy Golf Lite is also equipped with sophisticated protective features. Water-repellent fabric effortlessly reflects rain and keeps you dry, while the frame is constructed with industrial-strength fiberglass designed to withstand gusty winds, ensuring golfers stay focused on their game, just like Palmer did. The ergonomic handle and non-slip grip provide comfort during long rounds.
Furthermore, a portion of the proceeds from each sale will go to the Arnold Palmer Charitable Foundation, empowering the golfing community to contribute to causes that were close to Palmer's heart. This initiative not only commemorates his contributions to the sport but also extends his charitable legacy.
