Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club’s Copperhead Course is the host once again for the Valspar Championship and this will be the fourth year since the course overhaul.  It measures 7,340 yards in length and plays as a par 71 that features four par 5s and five par 3s.  Taking advantage of the scoring opportunities on those par 5s is key while managing par everywhere else is usually the formula for a good round.  The Snake Pit consists of Hole Nos. 16, 17 and 18 and each hole has averaged over par in every year of this event.  Successfully navigating this stretch of golf is necessary for those looking to contend.  Weather could also be a factor this week.  Winds will be the lightest Thursday morning as they gradually increase to about 13 mph by late afternoon.  Friday will be similar but not nearly to the same effect of Thursday.  When you also consider that the greens will be the purest on Thursday morning, targeting Thursday AM tee time golfers has merit this week.
