I am leaving on a 4 day trip to Innisbrook today.  We are playing Copperhead, the Island course twice and the North course.  To me it will be especially interesting because I have the Island course on my golf simulator.  I got it recently and have played it a bunch.  I have never played a course that I have played on the simulator.

I am very excited.  Probably setting myself up for disappointment.  At the end of last season I started scoring a lot better.  My ball striking improved, it showed itself in greens hit and proximity to the hole.  I finally became more connected.  It limits my big misses and makes my distance control much better.  That good play has continued on the simulator.  I am hoping to throw up at least a couple good rounds.  We will see.

Has anyone done Innisbrook?

You'll be surprised at the number of hills for a Florida course. Very nice resort all around and the weather here the next 4 days looks perfect for golf. A little chilly in the morning but nice all afternoon. Enjoy!

Had a chance to do it 4 years ago during a trip to the Tampa area but got rained out. Went down and played Waterlefe down in Bradenton instead. Very nice 'resort' type, super manicured course. 

Hit 'em well! Always nice to catch a good break from the cold.

I played in the Golf Channel end of year tournament here 2 years ago.  We played Copperhead, Island, North (and Fox Hollow off the Innisbrook facility).  I liked Copperhead the best.  It seemed like the course that was tough but fair.  Was cool playing the "snake pit."  I don't think it's as snaky as it reputation implies though.  Seems like the Island was my least favorite, really narrow and if you missed the fairway those scrubby trees kinda sucked up your ball. 

Had a blast though and really enjoyed the experience (even though it was some of my crappiest golf for the season).  Hope you have a great time too.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
