Mr. Dye's right hand man and TFP's Project Architect, Tim Liddy came to Ford recently for a shade management meeting with superintendent Nelson Caron. All golf holes were examined during the meeting with special attention considered to the front 9 foliage and the new grading plan. Signature trees were also identified and plans to showcase these specimens are being executed now. In addition to the shade management aspect of the restoration project, this summer has been tremendous in developing a long range plan for tree health on the course. Finally, a special thanks goes out to Mike Womble, the Naturalist here at Ford, for helping us balance the relationship of the shade management program and the Ford Plantation's rich wildlife and sensitive environment.
