More quotes by 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
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 always said that if I have the perfect club then I should play the perfect game.
Arnold Palmer
I've noticed the sound of the golf ball being hit by the golf club is different, and much more realistic, with the hearing aids. The sound with the hearing aids makes sense, and better represents what I know is happening to the golf ball. So you could say that the hearing aids help give me confidence regarding my golf game.
Arnold Palmer
If you can see it, you can hit it and if you can hit it, you can hole it.
Arnold Palmer
I'm particularly proud of anything the House and the Senate agree on.
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
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
It's a funny thing, the more I practice the luckier I get.
Arnold Palmer
One thing I've learned over time is, if you hit a golf ball into water, it won't float.
Arnold Palmer
The game has such a hold on golfers because they compete not only against an opponent, but also against the course, against par, and most surely- against themselves.
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 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
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
If you're stupid enough to whiff, you should be smart enough to forget it.
Arnold Palmer
Players need to remember they didn't make golf. Golf made them.
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 received many years of good advice from my father - how to live, how to play, how to be a gentleman.
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.
