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 ...

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
