May the Forse be with Tedesco Ron Forse of Forse Design Inc., the golf course architect who helped Salem Country Club with its long-term improvement plan in advance of the 2017 U.S. Senior Open, on Oct. 17 toured the ongoing renovation project that he is supervising at Tedesco Country Club in Marblehead. Nearly every bunker on the course is being remade according to the original design. >>> WHAT MAKES THIS AREA SO BEAUTIFUL IS WHAT MAKES IT SO DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH. ~RON FORSE ” PHOTOS: Spenser Hasak 14 >>> WINTER 2017
RON FORSE “We’re out here talking about where bunkers will go, the elevation of them, and how many,” said Forse as he walked around the elevated green of the 12th hole with Matthew Staffieri, owner of MAS Golf Course Construction, who was using an excavator to carve out the bunkers. “Ledge rock dictates what is done,” said Forse. “What makes this area so beautiful is what makes it so difficult to work with.” “I love New England,” said Forse, who grew up in New Jersey but spent a lot of time on Cape Cod as a kid, visiting family. “I love the history, landscape, soil, rock, and topography. Courses in this area have character and quirk.” “You don’t need a water feature or ocean to make a course interesting, the landscape can do that.” Forse Design has worked on more than 15 clubs in Massachusetts. l OPPOSITE PAGE: Golf course architect Ron Forse, left, and Matthew Staffieri, owner of MAS Golf Course Construction, discuss bunker shaping and placement around the 12th green at Tedesco Country Club as part of the ongoing renovation project.
