Arnold Palmer: American Hero Burke Golf Arnold Palmer: American Hero, the sixth book in the award-winning series lauding golf’s greatest players is now available. Published by The American Golfer, the Arnold Palmer book joins five other large coffee table format tributes to legendary golfers including Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones, Byron Nelson, Jack Nicklaus along with a highly acclaimed history of the Ryder Cup. Arnold Palmer: American Hero is a sizable book, befitting The King himself. It measures 11” X 14” and contains 372 pages including four spectacular gatefolds and has over 300 photos, many never-before published. The suggested retail selling price (SRSP) is $100.00 and is available worldwide at fine bookstores and online at Amazon and Barnes&Noble.com. There is certainly no question that Arnold Palmer was a true hero – not just an American one, but to sports fans around the world. As such, the book features wonderfully crafted essays by an all-star cast comprising 21 well-known golf writers, professional golfers and close friends of Arnie’s. Perhaps the two most poignant and personal are a forward by Arnold’s close friend, Gary Player, and one by his long-time right-hand man, “Doc” Giffin. Martin Davis, the book’s author and publisher, in the Introduction wrote “In developing the book, we kept discovering so many fascinating -- and wholly unknown – facets to Arnie’s life that just begged examination. Every time we would investigate one aspect of his life, we’d find two more to delve into. The further we looked, we’d add another essay or two as the book just kept getting bigger and bigger – and we do believe – better and better.”

The mission at Burke Golf is centered on enhancing the golfing experience by delivering superior feedback to players. By feeling where on the clubface the player strikes the ball as well as how that player hits each shot, they are able to improve their game over time. The 3D Gecko D72 Putter and the Burke SG03 Wedges showcase Burke’s commitment to providing exceptional feedback for every golfer who plays their equipment. The 3D Gecko D72 Putter offers exceptional tactile feedback with every putt. Constructed as a full-mallet design, The 3D Gecko D72 prioritizes stability throughout the entire putting stroke. Burke Golf provides three neck types: single bend, plumber’s neck, and single bend. The eye-catching TFF Gecko Face is Burke’s patented multi-material putting face. By mimicking the hands of a Gecko with an aluminum & rubber construction the Gecko putters create more friction during impact which results in a more controlled and consistent forward roll with each putt. For versatility around the course, Burke has engineered the SG03 Wedges featuring innovative Shark Gill Technology. This wedge slides through turf, sand, tall grass, and more while also providing the player with exceptional feel with every shot. Crafted out of a 1020 carbon steel block and Fire Forged Technology™ every wedge head undergoes an extensive 10hour heat treatment process. This manufacturing approach is how Burke Golf delivers upon its promise of consistent feedback with every club. Burke Golf equipment is designed “For The Purist • By The Purest” using Heat-Tec Face & Spring-Face Technologies™. These signature processes are key to the Burke standard.
