Few people did more to grow the game of golf than Arnold Palmer.Fewer did more to provide places to play it.The charismatic champion who died Sunday night of complications from heart problems was every bit as successful at designing courses as he was conquering them. From Palmers first design in 1963, the back nine at his beloved boyhood course in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, to his recently completed project in Brazil, The King was instrumental in shaping the way people around the world enjoy the game.So prolific was Palmer that computer software accompanying a video game that allowed players at home to design their own layouts was called the Arnold Palmer Course Designer. And for his respected design career spanning more than 300 courses, Palmer was giving the Donald Ross Award for lifetime achievement from the American Society of Golf Course Architects.Here are some of his memorable designs, courses that will no doubt carry on his legacy.---KAPALUA RESORT (BAY COURSE) , Lahaina, HawaiiTeaming with Francis Duane, Palmer helped kick off a golf boom on the Hawaiian islands when he opened the first course at Kapalua in 1974. The meandering track with seaside vistas was host to the Kapalua LPGA Classic, and is beloved by amateurs for such holes as the cliff-side par-3 fifth.---BAY HILL CLUB AND LODGE , Orlando, FloridaThe first 18 holes were designed by Dick Wilson in 1961, but the course has been tweaked so much by Palmer over the years that he might as well have laid it out. Palmer bought the course in 1974, and it has been the site of a PGA Tour event since 1979 that has become synonymous with him.---TPC BOSTON , Norton, MassachusettsPalmer built the original course in 2003, and Gil Hanse and Brad Faxon reworked parts of it later, but regardless the layout is considered one of the best on the PGA Tour. It is the host venue for the Deutsche Bank Championship, one of the events in the season-ending FedEx Cup playoffs.---BAY CREEK RESORT (PALMER COURSE) , Cape Charles, VirginiaPalmer and Jack Nicklaus will be forever linked, so perhaps it was inevitable that they would have courses at the same resort. Palmers design came first in 2003, the layout hard along the Chesapeake Bay featuring idyllic views, soaring gulls and pathways made from sea shells.---RUNNING Y RANCH , Klamath Falls, OregonPalmer featured everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer, including meadows and wetlands. But it is the majestic views of the Cascade Mountains that keep people coming back. Palmer said his vision was to leave the land as it lies, and he considered Running Y Ranch to be one of his best designs.---TRALEE GOLF CLUB , County Kerry, IrelandHis first European course, which opened in 1984, Palmer sculpted a layout that teeters on the edge of a windy point high over the sea. The Academy Award-winning film Ryans Daughter, starring Robert Mitchum and Sarah Miles, even used the striking backdrop of the golf course for some of its filming.---TURTLE BAY RESORT (PALMER COURSE) , Oahu, HawaiiThe resort itself is a popular filming location or movies and TV shows, but its the golf courses -- one designed by Palmer, the other by George Fazio -- that draw players from around the world. The course is set along the famed North Shore, home to Pipeline, Sunset Beach and Waimea Bay.---CHUNG SHAN HOT SPRING GOLF CLUB , Zhongshan, ChinaOther designs may be more memorable, and certainly more striking, but few have been more important to growing the game. Chung Shan Hot Spring was the first course in China when it opened in 1984, and to this day it remains a popular track in the city of 3 million.---HALF MOON BAY (OLD COURSE) , Half Moon Bay, CaliforniaPebble Beach and Cypress Point may be more revered, but the views from the 405-yard par-4 finishing hole at Half Moon Bay are every bit as striking. The rest of the course, built in 1973, has a parkland feel, but the 18th towers on a bluff high above the Pacific Ocean.---BREEZY POINT RESORT (DEACONS LODGE) , Breezy Point, MinnesotaThere are other courses that deserve to be on a list of Palmers best, from his courses at PGA West and Oasis Golf Club, to his layout at Kildare Hotel and Country Club in Ireland. But there is only one that is name for his father, Deacon, a tranquil layout that he always considered among his favorites.---REUNION RESORT AND CLUB (PALMER COURSE) , Kissimmee, FloridaThe only resort with courses by Palmer, Nicklaus and Tom Watson, it is the rolling layout that opened in 2004 that stands out. Palmers course is carved of a former citrus grove and is home to heron, coyotes, wild turkey, red tail hawks, tortoises and armadillos, among other species of wildlife. Allen Iverson Jersey . Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder. Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. Mario Chalmers Jersey .Y. -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo had little trouble picking up his first shutout of the season against a Buffalo Sabres team thats having trouble scoring goals. http://www.cheapgrizzliesjerseys.us/ . The Brazilian goalkeeper signed a loan deal with the Major League Soccer club on Friday as he looks to get playing time ahead of this summers World Cup in his home country. Dillon Brooks Jersey .05 million next season unless Graham and the Saints subsequently agree on a long-term deal. The designation was released Monday after the deadline passed for NFL teams to use franchise or transition tags on players becoming free agents. Discount Grizzlies Jerseys . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. Russell Domingo, South Africas coach, is hopeful administrators will either give players a wide berth or crack down completely when applying Law 42 - fair and unfair play - because he believes the application of artificial substances to the ball, especially in the form of edibles, occurs often.Domingo spoke to reporters about an hour before his captain Faf du Plessis hearing to face ball-tampering charges took place at the Adelaide Oval and could not comment on the specifics of the case but hinted that one of South Africas defenses could be that everybody else does it too.You see it daily with those types of instances taking place on the field. I dont want to talk about the [Faf] incident too much but it seems to be a daily occurrence on the field of play so they [the administrators] might need to re-look at that should they feel its not within the spirit of the game, Domingo said.Du Plessis was only charged when television footage of him shining the ball with saliva - while also having a sweet or mint in his mouth - was circulated the day after the Hobart Test. By then, the time for the match officials to report an alleged offence had lapsed and the ICC investigated the visuals of their own volition, after being alerted by widespread media reports. After two similar incidents in the last three years (Dubai in 2013 and Galle in 2014), in which broadcasters were also involved in bringing to light South African offences, Domingo said they feel singled out.There are other teams that have maybe done similar things and weve maybe looked at one or two instances that they have done those things and they havent been highlighted. I wouldnt say weve been targeted but weve definitely been highlighted, Domingo said. Its definitely been brought to the attention of the world and its definitely been brought to the attention of the ICC and its definitely been brought to our attention. Although it seemed pretty insignificant at the start of it, quite a lot has been made of it.Lolly-line or Mint-gate as it has been dubbed, has been on the front and back pages in the Australian press. And the South African squad have had several run-ins with the Australian television reporters which culminated in an airport scuffle on their arrival in Adelaide. Journalists were trying to get a comment out of du Plessis, who was shielded by the security officer, and has not spoken to the media since the Hobart win.dddddddddddd Despite the possibility of a one-match ban, Domingo said du Plessis was holding up well.Its never pleasant when everybody has got an opinion on you and people have judged you before rulings have been made. Thats the nature of the world at the moment, everybody has got an opinion and can air it. When you are constantly seeing yourself in newspapers and have things written about you, I suppose it does weigh you down at times, Domingo said. He is a tough and resilient man and the team really supported him and surrounded him to lessen the load on him.South Africas entire squad stood alongside Hashim Amla at the MCG when he called the ball-tampering allegations a joke, last Friday and said South Africa believed their captain had done, absolutely nothing wrong. Amlas address took place before du Plessis was charged, but even in hindsight, Domingo does not think they would have handled it differently.We are a unified team. We stand by our captain. We stand by the decisions weve made. They might not have always come across as the ideal way to do things but at that time and space we thought those were the right things to do, he said.Perhaps surprisingly, South Africa have been buoyed by this fight, even though it has marred their preparation for their first pink-ball Test. Two days ahead of the day-night game, they were not sure whether their captain would be able to take the field with them or whether they would be allowed sweets, when they step on the park. But they were very sure theyre in it together.Hopefully these incidents do galvanise the team a bit more. Theres definitely a feeling of togetherness and unity in the group and a lot of support for the current captain, Domingo said. Its been an interesting few days. Weve had a wonderful tour here, its been great, weve played great cricket. Weve had long discussions and our focus now is purely on cricket. It hasnt been ideal preparation. I would be lying if I say its been spectacular preparation but our focus is totally on the cricket.
