Did Arnold Palmer Make Big Ben Look Like a Punk?

Seeing as that I am from Ohio, I have heard many Miami (OH) stories where Ben Roethlisberger comes off as a dick. Then when all of these sexual assault stories came out,  it more than proved the accuracy of these rumors.

But if that wasn’t enough, I then read this story on Waggleroom, and not only did it make me down right hate Ben Roethlisberger, but it also made me like the combination of lemonade and iced tea even more.

This story was told to me just a few days ago from a very credible source.

The Steelers have their training camp in Latrobe, PA – a town absolutely owned by Arnold Palmer.  Near the training  camp is Laurel Valley golf club.  It has hosted several major championships and is a big deal club in the area.  Ben Roethlisberger came by during training camp one summer and said he wanted to get on the course to play.  The pro shop said that they would accommodate him but that members that had tee times would go ahead of him and they would work him on.
 
So, Ben looks around the pro shop and starts buying up stuff.  Makes his purchases, then disappears to the first tee.  He’s teeing off out of turn.  The pro shop wrangles him down in the first fairway and demands that he return to the clubhouse to wait his turn to play.  Eventually, he gets to go off.  He runs into a bunch of people who naturally want his autograph.  He says no to all of them.  Doesn’t want to be nice to the people letting him play their exclusive track.
 
When he’s done with the round, Ben goes into the locker room in the clubhouse.  He takes a shower and comes out, when a man comes up to him and tells him, “What you are going to do right now is go into the pro shop and sign autographs for every single person who wants them, and then you will never come back here again.”
 
The man who told him that?  Arnold Palmer.
