Lake Ridge Weekly Newsletter July 24, 2017
Want to give a huge shout out to Russell Bastien, our Superintendent and his staff for doing a great job on the course. I have never seen our greens look this good. Their hard work and dedication is paying off and if you see them on the course, please give them a huge thanks. This summer has been very challenging with issues with the water pump and the heat and humidity. The course looks great…
JUNIOR TOURNAMENT
