Bain Arnold, who worked for a long time at Angus Glen and in other areas of the golf industry, died suddenly on Friday. I hadn’t seen Bain in several years, but when I first started writing about golf, I’d run into him regularly at Angus Glen.

For those on Facebook, here’s a link to all the details of his visitation.
