Sports

Is there a better place to be on a sunny morning than out playing 18 holes? Orlando's golf scene is world class, containing several hundred courses, many of which are designed by PGA Champions. Some of the most popular tournaments are hosted near MetroWest, such as the Bay Hill Invitational. It isn't difficult to understand why PGA Champions such as Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods have made their homes in the beautiful Orlando metropolitan area.

Orlando's NBA team, the Orlando Magic, is a young and exciting group of basketball players.

Don't get carried away on the drive there, but the Daytona International Speedway is about an hour's drive from MetroWest. Daytona is the ultimate destination for NASCAR racing and the stomping ground for such legends as Dale Earnhart Jr. People from all over gather to watch racing events at this venue.

Florida Derby, Kentucky Derby? Horse racing? Orlando is just south of Ocala, where the largest horse breeding farms in the state are found. This $2.2 billion business is certainly worthy of mention. There were 4 Floridian horses in the 2005 Kentacky Derby. The legendary Gulfstream Park and Calder Race Course are just a few hours drive from Orlando.

As America's national pasttime, baseball surely deserves a mention. Florida has two MLB teams, the Florida Marlins and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. And if your favorite team doesn't make its home here, there's a good chance it has its spring training camp in central Florida.

Although the weather just doesn't quite work for outdoor rinks, hockey still flourishes in Florida. The Tampa Bay Lightning just scooped up the 2004 Stanley Cup! Tampa is less than a two hour drive from MetroWest.

Football is very strong in Florida. With three NFL teams (Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers), and several NCAA powerhouses, there won't be any trouble finding a game on the weekend.
