More quotes by Arnold Palmer
Here is a philosophy of boldness to take advantage of every tiny opening toward victory.
Arnold Palmer
I've noticed the sound of the golf ball being hit by the golf club is different, and much more realistic, with the hearing aids. The sound with the hearing aids makes sense, and better represents what I know is happening to the golf ball. So you could say that the hearing aids help give me confidence regarding my golf game.
Arnold Palmer
I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
Arnold Palmer
All the things that I have derived either directly or indirectly through the game of golf are things I owe a great deal to the game and to the people who support the game.
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
The thing I probably love the most is driving out with the championship trophy under my arm.
Arnold Palmer
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
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
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.
Arnold Palmer
I'm not much for sitting around and thinking about the past or talking about the past. What does that accomplish?
Arnold Palmer
If you can concentrate on what you're doing and have the desire to do the things you have to do to win, you'll succeed.
Arnold Palmer
As for 1994 [ U.S. Open], I didn't do very well, but it was a great occasion for me even though I was not playing the way I had hoped. And it was obviously a very emotional day that last day, but it was a great memory for me and I have had a lot of great memories at Oakmont over the years.
Arnold Palmer
Winning is a drive, it's a thing that you feel like when I go to bed at night I go to sleep.
Arnold Palmer
I feel more strongly than ever about this. I would like the professional game freed of golf carts. Golf is a physical game. If we are playing competitive professional golf, we should walk. When I can't walk 18 holes, I'll pack it in.
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.
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 am against making golf courses obsolete, going to the national Open and playing half the holes with a one-iron.
Arnold Palmer
I was playing cowboys and Indians in the trees, and then I started hitting the golf club with clubs father sawed off for me, and I began playing right here with my father.
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
As long as I can stay competitive and have fun doing what I'm doing, I guess I'll keep doing it.
Arnold Palmer
