More quotes by Arnold Palmer
Players need to remember they didn't make golf. Golf made them.
Arnold Palmer
What do I mean by concentration? I mean focusing totally on the business at hand and commanding your body to do exactly what you want it to do.
Arnold Palmer
An athlete must have a certain cockiness to succeed and win, but an athlete must also care about the game he or she plays.
Arnold Palmer
If you're stupid enough to whiff, you should be smart enough to forget it.
Arnold Palmer
I played with [Dwight Eisenhower] on the day after I won the Masters at his request. We became everlasting friends. I was with him the day before he died at Walter Reed.
Arnold Palmer
Putting is like wisdom - partly a natural gift and partly the accumulation of experience.
Arnold Palmer
Your worst putt will usually be as good as your best chip.
Arnold Palmer
If you are really serious about playing golf and playing good golf, stick to the basic fundamentals. Sure, there's going to be a little change here and a change there, but you don't want to make them. You want to stick to the things that you started with, and you learned, and you know how to apply them.
Arnold Palmer
Golf is deceptively simple, endlessly complicated. A child can play it well and a grown man can never master it. It is almost a science, yet it is a puzzle with no answer.
Arnold Palmer
I remember what a thrill it was to attend my first Champions Dinner. Just being in the same room with some of the guys I had admired growing up and to be there because I had won The Masters was quite an honor. I still attend the dinner every year and it is one of the highlights of my time at Augusta during Masters week.

I was playing golf in Palm Springs and after a round I asked the waitress in a restaurant to bring me a glass of iced tea and lemonade. A lady sitting nearby heard me and asked the waitress to bring her a Palmer, too. The name caught on and the beverage quickly spread around the country.
Arnold Palmer
I suppose I could think of a lot of things to say about the fact that I still play. But I don't really need to. I can tell you this, that I enjoy it. I still enjoy it. I like to get out in the air and I like to walk and I like to do the things that are involved in playing golf.
Arnold Palmer
My grandson Sam Saunders has been playing golf since he could hold a club and I spent a lot of time with him over the years. Like my father taught me, I showed him the fundamentals of the game and helped him make adjustments as he and his game matured over the years.
Arnold Palmer
I was born in 1929, that was the depression, so the golf course was manned by my father and two guys, they worked for my dad and they took me with them everywhere they went. And it was fun.
Arnold Palmer
Even before you step up to the ball, have a full battle plan for the hole worked out.
Arnold Palmer
I would not have been able to accomplish a lot of what I did professionally had I not learned to fly myself and owned an airplane. For example, I was able to fly to an exhibition for the day and be back home in time for dinner. I never would have been able to do that flying commercially.
Arnold Palmer
I look back, it taught me something - it taught me how to live, how to be a better guy, not let defeat be the end of my life.
Arnold Palmer

Arnold Palmer
Putting is a fascinating, aggravating, wonderful, terrible and almost incomprehensible part of the game of golf.
Arnold Palmer
I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
