More quotes by Arnold Palmer
I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
Arnold Palmer
All the things that I have derived either directly or indirectly through the game of golf are things I owe a great deal to the game and to the people who support the game.
Arnold Palmer
I would never felt good if I hadn't experienced losing, because losing is part of your life. And it something that if I could teach people to understand that I think it could help them a lot.
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 stopped playing in the Masters in 2004, I stopped playing in the Par-3 [Contest], and now it's time to end this part of my Masters career. I would love to go on doing it forever, but I don't have the physical capability to hit the shot the way I would want to hit it. So I'll have to be content to watch.
Arnold Palmer
Putting is like wisdom - partly a natural gift and partly the accumulation of experience.
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
The thing I probably love the most is driving out with the championship trophy under my arm.
Arnold Palmer
The secret of concentration is the secret of self-discovery. You reach inside yourself to discover your personal resources, and what it takes to match them to the challenge.
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
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 and endlessly complicated.
Arnold Palmer
Even before you step up to the ball, have a full battle plan for the hole worked out.
Arnold Palmer
It's a funny thing, the more I practice the luckier I get.
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
If you're stupid enough to whiff, you should be smart enough to forget it.
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 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
What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive.
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.
