2017 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill

[JetFan1983]

Here's hoping for a great week at Bay Hill. It looks like they got a great field despite some top pros skipping the event. It must be a really nice atmosphere today during the Pro-Am despite Arnie's absence reverberating throughout the grounds.

Yardage: 7419

Par: 72

Defending Champion: Jason Day (17-under)

Course Record: 62 (Greg Norman, Andy Bean, Adam Scott)

Most Victories: Tiger Woods (8)

The tournament sent letters to apparel companies with embroidery artwork and letters of authorization for them to use the Palmer Umbrella on the gear for this week.

And Billy Horschel has a photo of how he is marking his ball this week

This is kinda cool:

In honor of the late tournament host, the winner of this week's 39th edition of the $8.7 million invitational will be presented a with a red alpaca cardigan sweater similar to one Palmer often wore instead of the traditional navy blue blazer.

Nifty.

I think that is VERY cool!

Bringing a camera? Warmer by then, yes? I am watching some coverage on tape delay here. Looks like it got a bit warmer in the afternoon.

Certainly am. And yes it warmed up a bit. Chilly for here, but nice overall. I'll definitely try and get some good pics to post here. Last year it was rainy and quite muddy all through the grounds. I guess memorabilia items are available online...but if you want something let me know.

Yeah saw that on Insta yesterday. Looked like Rory at first sight.. Not as crazy if you know what you are doing.

I see that Matt Every is currently T13 (yeah, I know it is only Friday).
But Bay Hill must really fit his game - back-to-back wins in '14 & '15, and since then 44 events played with 2 top 25s and 34 cut/WD's. And those API wins are his only wins on tour.

You have to remember that they are just as afraid of you as you are of them! Yeah, right!

I can't fit its head in my mouth, though.

Fried alligator nuggets are tasty. Just sayin...
