Arnold Palmer is known as one of the best ever mens Golfers to ever play the great game of golf. I never saw him play when he was at his best, but from what I hear, he was an amazing player, perfect gentlemen and a great ambassador for the game itself...
Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated.
I have a tip that can take 5 strokes off anyone's golf game. It's called an eraser.
I never quit trying. I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
