Please Welcome Our Newest Members
North: November 9-19 AM November 3, 26
From the Desk of the Director of Golf: Valued Members, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your patience and understanding this summer as we restored the Copperhead back to its original design. I know it has been frustrating not having the Copperhead to play for the past six months but I’m confident that once you see the finished product you will agree that it was worth the wait. Mother Nature was not very cooperative this summer as we dealt with record amounts of rain and cloudy days in July and August. Despite these challenges, I’m happy to report that in no way did it disrupt the quality of work by our team. If fact, one could argue that it only made it better. The teamwork that I witnessed this summer, as everyone pulled together under adverse conditions, was something we should all be extremely proud of. Our team was persistent and determined and did not let the rain and wet conditions get them discouraged; their hard work and determination will be evident come November 27, when the course reopens. Our new Member Guest Tournament in January is filling up fast! To date, we have 40 Members committed to play, leaving only 20 spots left. If you would like to participate, please call, email or see Christine in Membership as soon as possible to secure your spot. We’re looking forward to a spirited event and expect it to be sold out shortly!

In addition to the Member Guest Tournament, I would like to personally invite you to our new and improved Innisbrook Merchandise Holiday Sale that will take place at Inverness Hall on December 4, 5 and 6. The hours will be Friday 6-9pm, Saturday 12-6pm, Sunday 12-3pm. This sale will be bigger and better than ever and it’s also our way of showing our appreciation and to say thank you for your commitment to Innisbrook. I hope to see you there!

Nature Watch Racoons
Written and photographed by Golf Operations Dave Noel
pipeline | 25
Raccoons are one of Florida’s most common urban animals, frequently seen around parks, campsites and homes. Under most circumstances they are fun to watch and harmless when left alone. Problems arise because people find it difficult not to feed them. Raccoons are highly intelligent animals that will eat practically anything. The word ‘raccoon’ is thought to be derived from an American Indian word meaning ‘one who scratches with his hands.’ Because raccoons use their hands to search for food, both on land and in water, there is a commonly held belief that raccoons always wash their food before eating it. Even the raccoon’s Latin name ‘lotor’ means ‘the washer.’ However the belief is not true. The most likely explanation for the washing behavior is that raccoons are not washing the food but feeling for frogs and crayfish beneath the surface. Studies have shown that the dabbling behavior, we interpret it as washing, is a stereotyped behavior pattern used for searching for aquatic food in the wild. Raccoons are serious predators on nesting birds and sea turtle eggs. On prime turtle nesting beaches park staff patrol the beach early in the morning to locate turtle crawls and identify nest sites. You may notice sandy areas marked with a wooden stake and covered wire mesh. These are turtle nests that have been covered in an attempt to stop raccoons digging up the eggs.
