⛳️ Fore! Let’s dive into the excitement of the Arnold Palmer Invitational together! ⛳️

Welcome to our Channel and uh today I am back at the Arnold Palmer Invitational standing here in front of hole six it’s absolutely gorgeous this morning it is Wednesday it’s the proam day and uh I will be doing a little bit the whole week what is going on at the

Arnold pal rotational this week I’m going to be a standard bear uh to be able to adjust the scores for the players as they’re going through each and I’ll be walking with the players and uh it’ll be a lot of fun cuz every other year I’ve been a marshall on hole number

Two which has been a lot of fun but this year I decided to switch it up I’m going to be a standard bear so I’m looking forward to it so I will show you a little bit around the grounds of uh the Arnold Palmer Bay

Hill here in Orlando it’s going to be a lot of fun and yes I’ve been getting over some congestion so my voice is a little off hopefully by uh Sunday it’ll be better and hopefully I don’t forget to uh catch some great moments as well and today being Wednesday the program day

It’s where anybody can pay a certain amount to play with the players and I I believe I saw that it’s $112,000 a person correct me if I’m wrong if anybody knows but I think I saw that a couple days ago it’s $122,000 a person to play with a Pros so anybody can play

With a Pros on Wednesday and it’s uh it’s fun and I’m going to capture some of those Pros here in a little bit here we have a couple players coming up and Rory is with this group the proam group look got him pushed way back on the box just

Shorts right here we have Scotty Sheffer coming up on hole six he’s got a little facial hair going on this week so here we have JT Justin Thomas taking a couple practice shots out of the bunker over we on hole six again here is a a trailer full of beverages

Headed to the next tent that’ll last probably part of today so in this group here we got Trevor Lawrence quarterback for the Jaguars who just puted right there over there we have Vince Carter who used to be a former NBA player and they are playing with Colin morawa this is a star studded

Group Trevor Colin and Vince currently we are at hole two Jason day is about to get a tea off but this is the previous six years this is where I would work I was one of the marshals and as a marshall you hold your hands up

And quiet the crowd as the players are getting ready to hit right left of the hole I said right left exactly left of the hole that was a great shot you really want to they normally have standard Bears on proam day but the weather looks so bad for today

That yesterday they cancelled all the standard bears for today so unfortunately I can’t show you today what the standard bear is but probably in a couple minutes since on the video I’ll be able to show you since it’ll be tomorrow uh so we’re just walking around

Got me a water and uh see any else is up there we caught most of the big players but if you’re able to come on a pram day do so because it’s not near as many people and it’s much easier to get pictures and autographs here is the practice putting

Can come here and uh watch them hit some range balls and down here they have an area where there’s the bar at come grab you a drink not too sure if it’s complimentary or not I’ll find out here in a little bit your this is a putting simulator you get

Three putts and there’s two cameras there’s one here and one here and then it’ll tell you or give you some feedback on your putts and then this guy over here will talk you through the putts what you did and possibly how to improve on your putts as you can see Cory from

  4. Thank you Dale for sharing this. You got some really beautiful shots. Some of you guys were so gracious to share a pass with my husband Tony, so I got to see a glimpse of what he saw thru your vlog. Tony enjoyed attending so much, he’s strongly considering volunteering for next year. Thank you so much for sharing. What a unique experience on such a beautiful course.

  5. Thanks Dale. Awesome commentary!!! Love all your streams/vlogs. Thanks for explaining the meaning of “Marshal”. THAT really made me laugh since we chatted about that previously.
