I would like to have won more golf tournaments. But I wouldn't sacrifice my life. I've enjoyed it. I'd love to do it again the same way.

More quotes by 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
I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
Arnold Palmer
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.
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
Even before you step up to the ball, have a full battle plan for the hole worked out.
Arnold Palmer
I played high school golf, I played amateur golf and I started getting officers. I was playing pretty good, won amateur tournaments as a junior, and the whole thing.
Arnold Palmer
Putting is a fascinating, aggravating, wonderful, terrible and almost incomprehensible part of the game of golf.
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
Swing your swing. I know, I did.
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
Your worst putt will usually be as good as your best chip.
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 never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
Arnold Palmer
I remember ones I lost [shot]. I remember the ones I won, but I remember the ones I lost, something that I will never forget. Did it ruin me or hurt my career? It taught me about life, how to take the bad with the good.
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
When you get into competition and get under pressure, and get over that ball and are looking at it, and know you have to hit it, it is having that system to depend on to get that ball to where you want it to be.
Arnold Palmer
Concentration, Confidence, Competitive urge, Capacity for enjoyment.
Arnold Palmer
Trouble is bad to get into but fun to get out of. If you're in trouble, eighty percent of the time there's a way out. If you can see the ball, you can probably hit it and if you can hit it, you can move it and if you can move it, you might be able to knock it in the hole. At least it's fun to try.
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.
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.
