Palmer Honored in Portugal
Arnold Palmer received another national honor during his working visit to Portugal in early May. Palmer, who was presented with the "Presidential Medal of Freedom" last June by U.S. President George Bush, was accorded similar recognition by President Jorge Sampaio -- the "Command Portuguese Order of Merit" on Saturday, May 7. Palmer was in Portugal to preside at the grand opening of the Victoria Course of the Vilamoura Golf Club in the country's Algarve resort area. The Palmer Course Design Company created the Victoria Course, one of more than 250 projects it has handled throughout the world over the last quarter century.
