Rolex & The Masters

Well this week is the masters and the biggest sponsor in golf is Rolex :)
There was a very famous golfer you guys might remember who wore a solid gold Rolex.
Here is a great write up about him (Arnold Palmer!)

enjoy!
and RIP to Palmer :)

Rolex & The Masters

Always loved the King . A great man.
He seemed to like YG sport watches as much as the "president". Saw him sporting YG Subs and GMTs over the years as much or more than Day Dates.
Excellent article thanks for sharing.

A good read

Thats just amazing to see the tribute and his story. Coming from someone who has been playing golf since I was 7 years old and now a lot older and I love the game dearly, I appreciate what he's given to the game. RIP King!

No doubt! Glad everyone liked it.
I don't know how to multi quote everyone but glad you all checked it out.
I suck at golf but reading that inspired me to give it another try this summer!
