University of Michigan golfer Nick Carlson received a special treat when he returned to Oakland Hills Country Club - where he works and where he competed in the U.S. Amateur in August.
It was a three-paragraph letter from Arnold Palmer congratulating Carlson for making it to the semifinals in the U.S. Am. Palmer had sent the letter Sept. 8, a few weeks before he died Sept. 25 at the age of 87. Carlson finally received it Oct. 7 and posted a photo of it on Twitter.

"Keep up the good playing," Palmer wrote.
