On Thursday, the funeral for the late golf legend Arnold Palmer was held in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

Close friends and family gathered for a private service as Palmer’s ashes were spread at the Latrobe Country Club after one final flight above his hometown. This place had special significance to Palmer as it was the same area that his first wife Winnie’s ashes were spread 17 years earlier, according to Golf Digest.
