Agree, he also brought forth the class and dignity of the game, something lost in today's sports.
RIP Arnie....

He set the standard for players. They are pretty much self policing as golf is a very mental game and "goof balls" don't last very long. I had the opportunity to interact with quite a few PGA players and 98% of them are also very nice folks.
