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.

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
It's a funny thing, the more I practice the luckier I get.
Arnold Palmer
The most rewarding things you do in life are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.
Arnold Palmer
I'm particularly proud of anything the House and the Senate agree on.
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
Putting is like wisdom - partly a natural gift and partly the accumulation of experience.
Arnold Palmer

Arnold Palmer
If you're stupid enough to whiff, you should be smart enough to forget it.
Arnold Palmer
I didn't get playing professional golf until I was 25 years old. And I always said that if I could make it work, I would play as long as I could walk.
Arnold Palmer
Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated.
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.
