Go For Broke

"A bold shot?
"Yes. You must play boldly to win. My whole philosophy has been based on winning tournaments, not on finishing a careful fifth, or seventh, or tenth."

"A reckless shot?.
"No. In 18 years of tournament golf I feel I've never tried a shot I couldn't make."

Those lines sum up what Arnold Palmer has to say about the right way to play golf -- don't retreat from a challenge. Later you remember the "sweetness" of the risk, not its dangers.

Go For Broke! is by its very nature autobiographical, but the stories Arnie tells of what's happened on the course over the years are invariably used to tell the golfer-reader how the game is best played. Sometimes it's a matter of technique. More often it's a matter of nerve, tactics, imagination, and the competitive instinct.
