More quotes by Arnold Palmer
Even before you step up to the ball, have a full battle plan for the hole worked out.
Arnold Palmer
I have won the Australian, I won the British, all PGA championships, but I haven't won the PGA championship.
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
Players need to remember they didn't make golf. Golf made them.
Arnold Palmer
Putting is like wisdom - partly a natural gift and partly the accumulation of experience.
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
It's a funny thing, the more I practice the luckier I get.
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 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
The thing I probably love the most is driving out with the championship trophy under my arm.
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 never ceases to be a challenge, even when it really is just you and the ball out there and nobody else.
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
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
I like the Miami because I could play golf all winter.
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
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
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
One thing I've learned over time is, if you hit a golf ball into water, it won't float.
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.
