More quotes by Arnold Palmer
Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated.
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
I am against making golf courses obsolete, going to the national Open and playing half the holes with a one-iron.
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
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.
Arnold Palmer
I never rooted against an opponent, but I never rooted for him either.
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
Hit it hard, go find it and hit it hard again.
Arnold Palmer
In my early days of flying, if you flew on instruments, you were inevitably going to fly in thunderstorms. That was just a part of the business of flying.
Arnold Palmer
I always said that if I have the perfect club then I should play the perfect game.
Arnold Palmer
There's no question that the galleries still like to see birdies and eagles. If you take them all away, it takes some of the dramatics, the excitement of a golf tournament and we [people] don't want to do that.
Arnold Palmer
I look back, it taught me something - it taught me how to live, how to be a better guy, not let defeat be the end of my life.
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
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
Here is a philosophy of boldness to take advantage of every tiny opening toward victory.
Arnold Palmer
The whole secret to mastering the game of golf - and this applies to the beginner as well as the pro - is to cultivate a mental approach to the game that will enable you to shrug off the bad days, keep patient and know in your heart that sooner or later you will be back on top.
Arnold Palmer
Players need to remember they didn't make golf. Golf made them.
Arnold Palmer
If you can see it, you can hit it and if you can hit it, you can hole it.
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
Golf never ceases to be a challenge, even when it really is just you and the ball out there and nobody else.
Arnold Palmer
