DRINK AN ARNOLD PALMER DAY
MIND
Jack Ma 1964
“I’m coming to this world not to work. I want to come to this world to enjoy my life. I don’t want to die in my office. I want to die on the beaches.”
*Make this your morning mantra.
BODY
Roger Maris 1934 – chop wood
The bulge you saw in Maris’ arms came from chopping wood back home in Fargo, N.D.
*It might be difficult to find a wood pile to chop, but it is fun and it does ease stress. If not, ask your trainer for a move to simulate chopping wood or go to the batting cages and swing away.
SOUL
Marie Laveau 1801
Many condemned her as a witch while others praised her as a saint.
Vodou began when African slaves brought their native traditions with them as they were forcefully transported to the new world.
Vodou is a monotheistic religion. Followers of Vodou — known as Vodouisants — believe in a single, supreme godhead that can be equated with the Catholic God. This deity is known as Bondye, “the good god”
*Pray to Bondye – “the good god” today.
MONEY
Arnold Palmer 1929
Palmer had not capitalized on his namesake drink. Knowing this, three men decided it would make sense to draw up a business plan — on a napkin of course — and present it to Palmer’s agents.
*Go to the bar with two buddies. Order Arnold Palmers. Draw up a business plan on a napkin. Make millions.
ENTERTAINMENT
Colin Firth 1960 – watch The King’s Speech
*Watch Colin Firth win an Oscar in The King’s Speech
FOOD
Randy Johnson 1963 – Big Unit Hot Dog
A signature menu item was the Big Unit hot dog, named for Arizona Diamondbacks Hall of Famer Randy Johnson.
It’s nearly 2 feet of meat packed in an entire baguette loaf and smothered in chili, cheese, bacon, jalapeño, grilled onions, relish and sauerkraut.
