Noxious

We are in the thick of our annual noxious weed control program. This involves spot spraying areas that are annual hotbeds for noxious weeds such as Russian Thistle and Bull Thistle. I am humbled by the fact that The Ridge has come such a long way in our weed control in the native areas. Although this is one of those situations where many golfers do not notice when first playing The Ridge, I can assure you that walking through grass looking for (or playing out of) native areas with grass is much more enjoyable than walking through a field of Russian Thistle.
