More quotes by 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.

If Tiger Woods slamming his club into the ground is the biggest worry wehave, our sport isinprettygood shape.
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
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'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
Success in golf depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character.
Arnold Palmer
I can't afford the luxury of music while I'm flying an airplane. I have to pay attention to what I'm doing.
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
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.

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
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
I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
Arnold Palmer
Swing your swing. I know, I did.
