“Arnies” is the name of a side bet in golf that is, as you can probably guess, named for Arnold Palmer.
In Arnies, a golfer who makes par on a hole without his ever being in the fairway wins an Arnie from the other golfers in his group who are in on the bet. Palmer was a slashing, aggressive, daring golfer in the prime of his career. He swung hard with his driver, and those drives didn’t always find the fairway. Part of what made Palmer so great as a golfer was his ability to get himself out of trouble. That’s why the Arnie is named after him (and also why some people call this bet the Seve, after Seve Ballesteros).
