Remembering Arnold Palmer
Other than Tiger Woods, arguably Arnold Palmer was one of the most popular players of all time. He was born September 10, 1929, and was one of the most popular golfers ever. He is considered to be the most charismatic of all golfers and liked by almost all who knew him.
We would like to celebrate Arnie’s memory during his birth month with 10 of his best quotes cited by Golf Monthly. They are funny, truthful and thought-provoking. Enjoy!
1) “Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening – and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.”
2) “You can argue about major championships and whether Tiger will surpass Jack’s 18 majors but what can’t be argued is this: Tiger Woods is the most dominant, most skilled player we’ve ever seen.”
3) “Concentration comes out of a combination of confidence and hunger.”
4) “I have a tip that can take five strokes off anyone’s golf game: it’s called an eraser.”
5) “Success in golf depends less on strength of body than upon strength of mind and character.”
6) “I never rooted against an opponent, but I never rooted for him either.”
7) “I’ve always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn’t have a chance to win.”
8) “You must play boldly to win.”
9) “What do I mean by concentration? I mean focusing totally on the business at hand and commanding your body to do exactly what you want it to do.”
10) “The more I practice the luckier I get.”
Arnie's gigantic personality and charisma is missed.
