"The golf course has to be for the common man."

Thanks to Ron Whitten for Tweeting Demorris Lee's profile of 98-year-old Innisbrook designer Larry Packard who still lives in Tampa and attends the tournament.

Before he got involved in putting greens, Packard was in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during World War II, where he devised a camouflage scheme to prevent enemy attacks on an air base. He later designed what is now known as O'Hare International Airport in Chicago.

Most of Packard's courses include his trademark, the double dogleg hole. Many golf course holes are straightaway from the tee to the green. With the double dogleg, the tee goes left, then right and then left to the green.

Copperhead has a double dogleg at hole 14. It's one of four par 5 challenges among the 18 holes.
"I had to put a little challenge in the course," Packard said with a laugh.
