My Dad and I are planning a golf trip in late March with a couple other guys.  We're heading down to the Tampa area, and we're playing, among others, the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort, and both courses at World Woods (Pine Barrons and Rolling Oaks).  I'm particularly excited to play at Copperhead because the PGA Tour will have just been there the week before playing the Transitions Championship so the course should be in immaculate shape!

Anyone been to the Tampa area for golf, and have any suggestions for some other great courses or hidden gems?

We were originally going to Myrtle Beach, but the weather in March will be too unpredictable.  It may rain when we're in Florida, but at least it'll be warmer.

I'm also curious to hear about others' planned golf trips over the next couple months.

No real experience in the Tampa area as most of my family is closer to Ft. Lauderdale, however I am going to New Orleans in February and playing The Bluffs, Belle Terre, TPC Luisiana, and one other course I forget the name of. I was in Hilton Head last February and found the weather was incredible so was a little suprised to see you passed on Myrtle Beach. Hope you have a great trip

I was really looking forward to Myrtle Beach, and I even had the courses all picked out.  I saw that the average temp in March is low-mid 60s...that's plenty warm for me.  The only problem is that it can still be windy, raning, and in the 40s at that time of year.  I'd really hate to plan the trip, be all excited to go play, and have that type of weather.  In Florida, it could still rain, but the weather is generally warmer and there's less chance of prolonged rain/cold.  We're basically just playing the odds.

As I have yet to go to MB, that trip is on my bucket list for sure.

Playing Messquite, NV in 2 weeks (highlight will be Wolf Creek).     In March, will be in Boca Raton, FL area & will get in a couple rounds.    If this weather continues, there will even be several more local outings ...

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
