Tampa area resort renames golf course to honor Republican presidents

August 14, 2012

Delegates to the Republican National Convention who are duffers will want to check out the Copperhead Course at the Innisbrook Golf Resort.

The Tampa-area vacation haven has temporarily renamed that course's holes after the past 18 Republican presidents, reports PGA.com's Golf Buzz blogger John Holmes.

Golfing convention goers from South Carolina and Florida who are staying at Innisbrook later this month will start at the Abraham Lincoln tee box and wrap up their rounds by holing out on the George W. Bush.

The Tampa Bay Business Journal had some fun in describing the presidential attributes of the renamed holes, notes Holmes, who cites several of the examples. My favorite is the tricky 14th, or as it's known while the 2012 Republican convention is in town, the Richard Nixon.

So I'm wondering if some Charlotte, N.C., course might follow suit with a Democratically renamed presidential course while Obama and the Democratic National Convention are in town in early September.

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
