Golf In Orlando Fl | Orlando Vacation Homes Rentals

The start of the Arnold Palmer Invitational PGA golf tournament at Bay Hill is right around the corner. This year’s 2012 edition tournament begins Thursday, March 22nd and concludes on Sunday, March 25th. The weather is always terrific with event proceeds benefiting Central Florida charities. These include the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies.

As usual, the pre-tournament buzz will center around Tiger Woods. Mr. Woods won his first pro title in 2011 by winning the Chevron World Challenge in late December in California. In good times past, Tiger supercharged his ultimate Masters appearances by doing well at Bayhill. Local fans will hopefully be rewarded by Tiger’s appearance as well as a title run on Sunday.
