Aerification Update


8th Hole Final
 

Aerification Update

Dear Oconomowoc Golf Club Members,
If you've been trapped, under a rock, or even recently in Italy, you may even know the weather hasn't worked in our favor for our greens aerification. Yesterday, we aerified and sanded the greens on the front nine including the putting green. Last nights rain has halted our plans to close the back nine and finish the greens aerification.
We have rescheduled the back nine greens aerification for this coming Monday or Tuesday. For an educational background on the process, see the fantastic photos taken from our photo journalist.
