More from Arnold Palmer
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.
Hard work will always yield positive results. Be fully aware of the world around you. Act purposefully on your strongest perceptions, and then with no regrets.
I appeal to you to try to restore a more kind and gentle atmosphere to this world of ours.
