On Thursday Arnold Palmer turns 80-years-old. For those of us who learned to play golf in the Sixties, Arnie was a god, not the god, but a Golf God. All those who thought golf was just a good walk spoiled changed their tune after watching the talent and energy of Arnold. He was an inspiration then, as he is now.
To celebrate his milestone birthday, the United States Golf Association (USGA) created a web-based memory book. Anyone who wishes to share a story or memory can do so-in words, images or video. And Wow. Over 800 people, most of whom are just the regular golfer have contributed a memory or story.
And the great thing about this is Arnie can read them all!
This type of celebration is the essence of LifeCatching: capturing and sharing memories before the celebrant is gone or can no longer enjoy the moment; and the realizing that that the pictures are only half the story. We will always have our personal images of Arnie playing. Now we have the words of many about what is like to play golf with Arnie, have a cocktail with Arnie, or just get a ride to the airport with Arnie.
Stop today and think who you would like to celebrate their milestone birthday or any birthday with a memory book, whether web based or paper. Do it now. Capture, Archive, Share Today.
