KAHUKU, Hawaii (AP) - Arnold Palmer married fiancee Kathleen Gawthrop in an intimate beachside ceremony on Oahu's North Shore.

Palmer and Gawthrop exchanged nuptials Wednesday evening in a beachfront cottage near the Arnold Palmer Course at the Turtle Bay Resort, where the four-time Masters champion will play at this weekend's Champions Tour event.

Palmer, 75, was married once before. His wife of 45 years, Winnie, died in 1999.

Gawthrop, of Tiburon, Calif., has three children from a prior marriage and five grandchildren.

Good for Arnie..he didn't wed someone younger than his own kids, and he waited a few years...he continues to be a very classy guy..in all respects..

I hope Kathleen takes care of Arnie's balls like his previous wife did (Johnny Carson urban legend reference)

Good for Arnie.

Absolutely.

Winnie was quite the lady to grace Arnie's arm.

I'm sure Kathleen is equal to the task.

Couldn't see Arnie with a trophy wife. Don't believe he's that kind.

I agree, good for Arnie. He had a wonderful and enduring first marriage. A great golfer, solid Conservative, and class act all the way. Golf has produced a lot of class acts over the years, one of the reasons I love it more and more as I lose interest in other sports I used to follow.

Not sure it's an urban legend. I thought I saw him actually have palmer on and do the joke, while they were showing so many of his old clips.
BTW - Good for Arnie! It was very hard on him losing his wife. I still have not resolved the conflict of what happens in the afterlife in a situation like this.

Some of the wives figure the golf balls have
too many dents..they prefer the putter with the longer
shaft... Jake

Did some googling ... no pictures of Kathleen that I could find. She's 10 years younger than Arnold.

It's no legend that there is a plaque at the 18th of Rancho where he took a TWELVE! on the last day of the tourney to lose the LA Open I think in c1958. Everytime I bogey I think of that plaque....

Very old joke..condensed version

Husband and wife are lying in bed, he watching TV, she reading. she asks him a question

W: If I died, would you remarry?
H: Possibly, after a few years, if I found someone like you

later, another question

W: If I died, and you remarried, would you stay in this house?
H: I think so, because I like it here. it's very comfortable

Later

W: If I died, and you remarried, and you stayed in this house, would you let your new wife wear my jewelry?
H: Well, I'd let the children have what they wanted, but if I did remarry, I might give her some of your jewelry; it would remind me of you.

Later

W: If I died, and your remarried, and stayed in this house, and gave her my jewelry, would you give her my golf clubs?
H: Nope. She's left-handed..

We once lived in one of those condos at Turtle Bay in Kuhuku and to this day we miss the place. Think fantastically wonderful weather plus great views and a super golf course, all in one place. Can't afford that luxury anymore, more's the pity. Poverty chupa!

Yup... I've seen that plaque... and I can honestly say that I've beaten Arnie by 5 strokes on that hole!
