More quotes by Arnold Palmer
I think today's athletes generally are spoiled by what's happened to salaries, but I also think that golfers have maintained the best demeanor of any sport.
Arnold Palmer
When you play by the rules, defy mental demons, overcome every challenge, and enjoy a walk in the country at the same time - that's being alive.
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
I always said that if I have the perfect club then I should play the perfect game.
Arnold Palmer
What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive.

I was national amateur champion. I was 24 years old. My father was there, and I couldn't wait to see him, and my mother. I went up and was waiting for all the accolades, and my mom was teary and happy and my dad looked at me and said, Well, boy, you did good, and that was it.

I think, first of all, I'm very proud of Sam Saunders in general. I am happy to see him playing well and his performance has been good. He is coming on as I hoped he would at this stage of his life.He is a fine young man as well as a fine golfer. He is doing things the right way.

Arnold Palmer
If you're stupid enough to whiff, you should be smart enough to forget it.
Arnold Palmer
The thing I probably love the most is driving out with the championship trophy under my arm.
Arnold Palmer
The only really unplayable lie I can think of is when you're supposed to be playing golf and come home with lipstick on your collar.
Arnold Palmer
Sam Snead will fly anywhere in my plane with me. Sam's not as worried about the danger as he is about saving money.
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
I've always been a big thinker that the more international competition that we create through sports the better relationships we'll have with countries.
Arnold Palmer
When I was playing in a junior tournament one time, I missed a short putt and threw my putter into the trees. I went on to win the tournament and later, instead of my dad congratulating me, he told me that if I ever threw a club again, I'd never play in another golf tournament. I haven't thrown a club since.
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
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.
