More from Arnold Palmer
I've made 20 aces in my lifetime, which doesn't sound like very many when you consider I've played golf since I was four years old, but the odds of making a hole-in-one are around 2,500-to-1 for a professional (and 25,000-to-1 for an amateur).
Each one of you, realize and understand that you are now in a position to make a difference. Make a difference in the world you are entering.
Maybe you'll fail most of the time, but until you've dared to try and have brought off an impossible shot from the rough or from the water, or have salvaged a hole by laying a monster of a 2-iron shot stiff against the pin, you will have missed golf's greatest playing thrill.
