Pete Dye Restoration Visit, November 15, 2013

Mr. Pete Dye was again on property Thursday and Friday to design the TFP golf course. The main objective of the visit was to focus primarily on putting greens and green surround design at golf holes 7-15. In particular, the functionality of the playability, strategy and agronomy of the green sites were studied and then executed.

In addition, “Macro” direction concerning infrastructure, agronomy and design was given by Mr. Dye at golf holes 16, 17 and 18. Those directives will be performed over the next several weeks. TFP Members will start to see progress on the finishing holes soon.

Don’t forget to join us on November 26^th for the next golf course tour. Nelson, CW and Dr. Bill Thompson will be guiding members through some of the work that has been completed and be available to answer questions.
