In the\u00a0month that the forever gone\u00a0one of the most famous golfers of the 20th century, Arnold Palmer,\u00a0another ageless enthusiast on the other side of the world, in Australia, celebrated an anniversary that few can emulate\u00a0and offered some sage advice about life. Phillip Pinnell turned 100 a week before Palmer passed away at 87 and, understandably, he was asked what\u00a0is the secret to his longevity. <\/p>\n
