Quotes about palmer (15 Quotes)


    I want to be a state finalist at 140. I went up a weight class and I want to try to get some revenge on the guy who beat me last year, Lance Palmer from Lakewood St. Edward. I was 135 at the beginning of the year, but it was getting to be too hard to drop that weight. Since I've been at 140 I haven't lost yet. All three of my losses were at 135.


    Arnold Palmer has what I call an 'Eisenhower smile'. Those two men, they'd smile and their whole faces would look so pleasant; it was like they were smiling all over.

    There isn't a flaw in his golf or his makeup. He will win more majors than Arnold Palmer and me combined. Somebody is going to dust my records. It might as well be Tiger, because he's such a great kid.




    Early in the semifinal round, we lost a little bit of wind. When (eventual runner-up Shawn Beard of West pinned eventual third-place finisher) Kenny Palmer in a semifinal, that took a little wind out of our sails, but we still came back to put 13 guys in the final round. I told the guys they had to be aggressive (going into the final round), and I think we might have been a little too aggressive a couple times.

    I can't believe that Babe Ruth was a better player than Willie Mays. Ruth is to baseball what Arnold Palmer is to golf. He got the game moving. But I can't believe he could run as well as Mays, and I can't believe he was any better an outfielder.

    The last time I played a practice round (with Tiger), he was still an amateur at the time. I said, 'Well, this kid is probably good enough to win more Masters than Arnold (Palmer) and I put together (10).' It's becoming closer to true every time.



    We would like to have had more pressure, but the play action kind of froze us. We stopped the run. Unfortunately, the result was they got away with a couple of big pass plays. (Palmer) threw the ball very well.

    With Sugar-Salem stacking the line of scrimmage to stop Marsh Valley's potent rushing game, the Eagles' coaching staff called a play-action pass, which left Tim Palmer wide open down the right sideline. He ran 70 yards for the score. They were loading the box up, ... They were bound and determined not to let us run, and we were taking advantage of that. Our game plan is to run the ball always, we throw it when we want to.
