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

@Ridgeturf @dcmlands @DogsOfTurf Time to burn off 3 months of pent up energy.

@Ridgeturf @dcmlands Are you saying we need an inside pool added to the maintenance bay? 😉

[Dave Schierbeek @ridgegrounds]

@Ridgeturf @dcmlands Moisture level is probably still low. 😞

Closing comfort stations due to the extreme cold @RidgeGolfClub

[USGA Green Section @USGAGrnSection]

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:

Final round of #ASBDakotasTour underway. Great 3 days weather wise and some pretty good sticks. Proud of staff, they made my job look easy. Thanks for your attention to detail and pride @RidgeGolfClub @AmericanStBank @TheDakotasTour @ridgegrounds @theridgegrill

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

[Dave Schierbeek @ridgegrounds]

@francisdmarion Had this Epiphany this spring. Only took 19 years of changing the solenoid as fast as possible before the bulb lit up. Ha ha. Would have saved a lot of wet clothes and muddy backfills.

FrontPin|MiddlePin|BackPin stakes are now by tee signs instead of at 150. Doing this for obvious reasons, multiple employees moving items daily. -1 stripe front --2 stripes middle ---3 stripes back..
