Australian Trip on Arnold's November Agenda

Arnold Palmer heads for Australia on Sunday, November 21, to participate in week-long activities in connection with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Australian Open in Sydney.  Palmer will not play in the Hillcross Australian Open at the Australian Golf Golf, but the highlight of three golfing events in which he will participate during his stay Down Under will take place there.  On Wednesday morning prior to the start of the prestigious national championship, which Palmer won in Brisbane in 1966, Palmer will join Australian greats Peter Thomson, Bruce Devlin and Bruce Crampton in a nine-hole "Parade of Champions" exhibition at the championship site.  He will also play in events the next two days at the Royal Sydney and New South Wales golf clubs and will make a guest commentator appearance on the Centennial Australian Open telecast before returning to America.  It will be Palmer's first visit to Australia since the late 1980s when he and his Palmer Course Design Company created the Pines Course at Sanctuary Cove on Queensland's Gold Coast.
