No doubt legendary golf royalty, Arnold Palmer ruled the golf world for six decades.  Surely, an extraordinary career. And a most extraordinary life. In a post-humous tribute, worthy of his noble contribution to the sport, the landscape of the poolside and pavilion area of the Arnold Palmer Bay Hill Club & Lodge was converted to an exhibition of his life and times.  A beautifully-presented,  representation of the King of Golf was staged between two custom-made wood frames and the balance of the pavilion enveloped guests with all of the elements in life loved by Arnold...

​

Elements like organics (thus a Pottery Barn-styled barn door stage scenic), white, cotton table linens with a subtle,  monochromatic golf-ball like pattern,  wooden chairs, menu holders made of bamboo and centerpieces tucked into natural containers.  But the most significant tribute to Arnold was in the ceiling treatment... chandelier-like groupings of Arnold Palmer's adored "red, white and green" golf umbrellas were hung upside down from the pavilion ceilings.  

​

The very exclusive group of 100 bankers, finance managers, sports figures and friends gathered under the umbrellas and around a dais where Arnold's beloved colleagues made warm tributes to a man that made golf a sport accessible to all.  They loved their environment and lauded Palmer for his charisma, humility, and approachability.
