More quotes by Arnold Palmer

If you are really serious about playing golf and playing good golf, stick to the basic fundamentals.

You want to stick to the things that you started with, and you learned, and you know how to apply them.

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
A lot of tournaments that I can remember I made a few bad shots and I was afraid I would lose the tournament and it seemed to work, the putts seemed to go in. Just the Desire.
