More quotes by Arnold Palmer
I still enjoy what I do. I haven't been playing much golf and none since I dislocated my shoulder, but I come to the office every day.
Arnold Palmer
Players need to remember they didn't make golf. Golf made them.
Arnold Palmer
Don't be ashamed to play safe.
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
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
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
I received many years of good advice from my father - how to live, how to play, how to be a gentleman.
Arnold Palmer
The most rewarding things you do in life are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.
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.
Arnold Palmer
I never rooted against an opponent, but I never rooted for him either.
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
What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive: the white ball sailing up into the sky, reaching its apex, falling and finally dropping to the turf, just the way I planned it.
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
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
It's a funny thing, the more I practice the luckier I get.
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 like the Miami because I could play golf all winter.
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
As long as I can stay competitive and have fun doing what I'm doing, I guess I'll keep doing it.
Arnold Palmer
I played with [Dwight Eisenhower] on the day after I won the Masters at his request. We became everlasting friends. I was with him the day before he died at Walter Reed.
