More quotes by Arnold Palmer
It's a funny thing, the more I practice the luckier I get.
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
I remember ones I lost [shot]. I remember the ones I won, but I remember the ones I lost, something that I will never forget. Did it ruin me or hurt my career? It taught me about life, how to take the bad with the good.
Arnold Palmer
Your worst putt will usually be as good as your best chip.
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
I'm particularly proud of anything the House and the Senate agree on.
Arnold Palmer
We just became very good friends [with Dwight Eisenhower], we played golf, we played heart exhibitions. Then his doctor said he should not play golf anymore.

Putting is a fascinating, aggravating, wonderful, terrible and almost incomprehensible part of the game of golf.
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
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
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.
Arnold Palmer
Concentration, Confidence, Competitive urge, Capacity for enjoyment.
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
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
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 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
Know how to win by following the rules
Arnold Palmer
If you're stupid enough to whiff, you should be smart enough to forget it.
Arnold Palmer
I was playing cowboys and Indians in the trees, and then I started hitting the golf club with clubs father sawed off for me, and I began playing right here with my father.
