Arnold Palmer With Playboy Bunny Lester Nehamkin Reel Photo

Arnie's Army was far and wide, along with diverse. Lester Nehamkin captured Arnold helping the putting stroke of a Playboy bunny with a time-period outfit in this reel photo for one of the more unique photos of The King that we have encountered.

For those that as much as glanced at the photography credit for a sports section newspaper photo in the 1950's and 1960's the name Lester Nehamkin might come to mind. Nehamkin covered a bevy of sports before locating in California and covering the PGA Tour's West Coast swing including the Desert Inn Tournament of Champions. He was famous for giving Champagne Tony Lema his nickname, then for obvious reasons.In the thick of things, he was even victim to one of President Gerald Ford's wayward shots. 8" x 10"
