SAM SAUNDERS KICKS OFF GOLF LECTURE SERIES

The grandson of Arnold Palmer makes name for himself during the first season on PGA Tour. With Bay Hill as his home base, and "The King" as his personal coach, Sam Saunders has jumped into life on the PGA Tour in 2010. And while he's used to being referred to as "Sam Saunders, Arnold Palmer's Grandson," he is in great position to create a professional golfing legacy of his own.

Sam will appear at the Winter Park Country Club Golf Lecture Series presented by the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and the North Florida PGA, on Monday, Aug. 16, at 7 p.m. Seating is limited and tickets are available for $10. All money collected will be donated directly to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children.

Saunders grew up in the shadow of Bay Hill's clubhouse in Orlando. He didn't start playing tournament golf until age 13, but picked up the game quickly, and won the Florida High School State Championship in 2004 as a junior at Trinity Prep in Winter Park. He later played three years at Clemson before leaving school early to pursue a pro career. He's made seven starts on the PGA TOUR in 2010, with his best finish at The Honda Classic in March.

Sam's visit will kick off the new season of this monthly golfing Q&A event at the intimate Winter Park Country Club. Previous guests have included Lee Janzen, Jan Stephenson, Scott Hoch, Kelly Tilghman, Rich Lerner, Jim McLean, Ken Green, Erik Compton, Cliff Kresge, and Gio Valiente.
