Default Bayhill - Arnold Palmer Tournament --- TIPS?

Son and I are going to Bayhill for Saturday's round of the Palmer Tournament. Since I know a number of people from TV work the tournament, wondered if I could get some tips for:
- Parking (we'll be driving down)
- Viewing spots with some shade and action
- Time to arrive there for getting the above suggestions.

Any other tips that come to mind would be greatly appreciated. Also we may have a 3rd ticket that we won't use and might post it for sale.

We like the 6th green. Par 5 around the lake. Wondered for years if anyone would try and go over the lake. Shot of the year when Dechambeau did it last year. Port a potty and food vendors right there. Not much shade. Take lawn chairs.

18 gets pretty packed around the pond, across from Arnie's final house.
Great tournament. I love the par three 17, i think, is also really cool to sit in the stands and watch the shots from the elevated tee box.

definitely bring a chair.

We like hole number 8. It’s a par 4 with the second shot over a pond. There are Porta Potties and food close by and you can slip over to hole number 2 occasionally to see one of your favorite players. Parking only $15 at Universal and includes a motor coach ride to and from Bay Hill. Good luck and go early at least 8:00.

7th hole par 3. Can get up and close. 9th hole if you can a seat in the mastercard pavillion.
