We had 2.2-2.5” depending on location during this mornings storm, that puts us at 4.25” for the week, so yes we have areas that need time to dry. Having 200-250 rounds play with carts going everywhere would be damaging. We appreciate your understanding @RidgeGolfClub

A mild winter day can be a great chance to play golf, but there is a risk of serious course damage if the surface thaws and soil is frozen below. Footsteps or cart traffic can cause soil to slide, damaging grass roots. Learn more about the risk of root shear:

Our Asst Mark Wright of 29 years blew my mind this morn as we tackled 3 solenoids. Years past I would pinch the control tube with vice grips. Always concerned they were too abrasive and would rip control tube. He said use a dummy head ya dummy! Screw off, screw on. 🤯🤯 #KISS – at Middletown, OH

Unfixed ball marks is one thing. Ball marks are part of the game. But this behavior is just uncalled for. Why?!?😑🤬
