Nicklaus, Palmer, & Player - Still Getting It Done

I just read that Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player helped raise over $15 million for a mission school in Virginia. That is a new one-day record for a PGA sponsored charitable event.

Palmer is 80, Player is 74, and Nicklaus is 70. None can hit the ball much over 230 yards on the fly any more. Yet, these three legends are still capable of drawing a crowd and entertaining fans.

There are no other sports figures that have the class of these three gentlemen. No other sports figures have given back to fans any where close to what these men have, and that is why all three, decades beyond their prime, still command the respect of fans around the world.
