We took a golf trip to the Tampa area last year the week after this tournament, and played the Copperhead course that Wednesday.  I REALLY liked this course.  I've played a handfull of top-notch courses, and this ranks #2 on my list behind only Merion (east).  As you'd expect the week after the tour was there, the course was in phenominal condition.  Even more than that was the layout.  As others have mentioned, the elevation changes as well as the interesting routing through the trees really makes this a special course.  Also, it was pretty cool to be playing while much of the equipment and grandstands were still there (I know some of the stuff is "permanent").

I normally want to go to a new destination for our yearly golf trip, but I would consider taking another trip to Tampa just to play here again....it's that good (imo).

As a side note: If anyone is thinking about going to the Tampa area for a golf trip, I would also highly recommend playing both courses at World Woods.  One course is modeled after Pine Valley, and the other is modeled after Augusta; both are Tom Fazio designs. The Pine Barrons course used to be in the "Top 100 Courses" list and gets all the (well deserved) acclaim, but our group agreed that Rolling Oaks should not be skipped.

Little chilly (mid-60s), breezy today. Spent about 10 hours out at Innisbrook. Will return w/ my father tomorrow a.m. for a few hours.   Respect for these pros - long holes, tight fairways, fast greens -

Unfortunately, Charlie Beljan didn't make the cut. I hope to see him at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. I noticed that he has a clinic on Monday at Orange County National -

Did anyone catch his story on NBC Rock Center last night?

Here's a link to the the video: hope it works.

I kinda hope Adam Scott pulls this one out. I do wish he'd stop using that stoooopid putter though. I keep waiting to hear a fart when he's putting.

Having only looked at the first page of the leader board, I'm pulling for KJ. Edit* just saw an updated leader board, gonna send a little love to Dufner and Kooch too. So I guess I have 3 horses in this race.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Pulling for Justin Leonard. Don't think he'll do it - but he could use a win big time in his career right now.  Really, anybody's ballgame.

Headed out early today for early pairings - then coming home to watch the leaders on GC and NBC.

Nice round by Boo.  Great ball striker but a really crappy putter, great to see him make some putts today

Don't know ... but I can't imagine it has happened much.  Did you see his awesome post round interview?

The announcer led him with "You kind of ruined your afternoon with this round, tell us why."  And he responded with something like "Well, I was gonna go up err'n Orlando an cetch some bass. But this is OK too."  Then the announcer asked if he saw this coming, and said "Nope."  Dude's awesome!  We need him the learn how to putt!
