A native Floridian, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here in Madison County, sharing my knowledge of the best greens in the world. When I'm not writing or hitting the links, I enjoy cruising the back roads on my Softail, looking for a barbecue joint or a conch steak sandwich. So, if you're looking for Florida golf tips and trips, and a little irreverence along the way - sing to me, baby!

Mix Some Golf With Valentine's Day Romance Packages

American males, beware: It's only a couple weeks before Valentine's Day. You'd better start planning something that involves golf before she plans something that involves something all mushy and stuff.

Valentine's Day golf specials are all over the Florida map. Here are a couple of specific suggestions, for elaborate weekends or quick, one-day discounts.

- The Renaissance World Golf Village Resort has a Valentine's special for $349 per night Feb. 10-14.

It includes a one-night stay, five-course dinner for two at the resort's Villagio Italian Grille, a "romantic welcome entity," which will include chocolate-covered strawberries. You also get a bottle of champagne, a dozen red roses and breakfast for two the next morning.

Remember, the Slammer and Squire course is literally just steps away from the resort, and the King and Bear is just down the road.

- The Longboat Key resort has chocolate-related romance stuff going on all through February, including tastings involving chocolate and scotch and chocolate and beer, and the sixth annual "chocolate-inspired" wine dinner Feb. 11.

Don't forget the Island golf pass can save you 25 percent off the resort's two excellent golf courses, two of my favorites in the Sarasota area.

- Pelican Point in Panama City has a two-for-one golf deal for Valentine's, so bring your wife or girlfriend for free. They also have a four-for-the-price-of-two deal, so bring another couple. Plus, you get 50 percent off lunch.
