Golfing Great Arnold Palmer Honored In Orlando

 

 

Professional golfer Arnold Palmer (1929-2016) is regarded as one of the greatest players in sport’s history, having racked up 62 PGA Tournament wins, including one U.S. Open and two British Opens during his stellar career.

The Suncoast District had the privilege of honoring the golf legend with the new Arnold Palmer Forever Stamp during a March 4 unveiling at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando. The event was held in conjunction with the 42^nd annual Arnold Palmer Invitational sponsored by Master Card.
