Arnold missed. But his first shot was more of a swing...he really ripped it. It is my guess that the Pinecrest will memorialize this visit with an appropriate photo in the lobby. Several people were either holding cameras or drinks.

Arnold's most memorable line: "[to those of us standing behind him] Be careful now...don't get sucked into the backswing..." ;D

Forrest, I was in there last night (very rowdy crowd, no way a chipping contest could have been conducted) and there is indeed a nice photo of Arnold, although posed with one of the staff, not chipping.

Bill...I would not call it chipping...more like a slap shot from 3 meters with the fireplace as the net...and I was standing behind one of the high back chairs that are normally used for fireside chats.......priceless once again  ;D.
