Pete Dye Designed #7 Golf Development

 

Pictured here, #7 golf hole at TFP. This image was captured by satellite in 2012 during the overseeding grow-in process in the Fall . One main characteristic of this golf hole is the littoral shelf located at Lake Sterling's banks. Over the years, the shelf has become contaminated with cattails and other undesirable species, diminishing the design and aesthetics of the hole.

The old weedy plant material generated a lot of debris to be cleaned up.

 

An elevated picture of the 7th golf hole shows the littoral shelf cleaned up and an exciting addition to the shelf that will now stretch nearly 1,400 feet with beautiful aquatic plants.

A reverse look at the hole looking from the green down towards the tee shows the scale of the littoral shelf to be installed.

Look in the water behind the MacCurrach Golf Employees installing drainage at 7 green and you will notice how the shelf.

This image demonstrates a littoral shelf diagram that is similar to the one which will be installed at TFP. The predominate plant species Fuzzy Davis has decided to install is the Purple Pickerweed, which is a TFP member favorite. This Pickerweed and other aquatic plants will provide habitat, erosion control and improved aesthetics. This diagram is courtesy of the Pelican Landing Community.
