First day of school, Cart paths and so much more

 Hello Members of Oconomowoc Golf Club,

You may have noticed a couple more roped off sodded areas around the course. No we aren't doing another renovation, we are just touching up a couple areas that were affected during or after the bunker renovation finished up. A lot of these areas being cart path on and off points, these areas are a pinch point for carts and are tremendously affected by the condensed cart traffic.




We have had success with a product called Traqmatz that helps protect the plant from the ware of cart tire traffic. That is what the black mats that you see out on the course and in the pictures are. Over time the turf will grow around and absorb the mats to the point that you may not be able to see them. But they are still doing their job underneath the surface.


Our team works extremely hard 7 days a week to give the best possible product to the membership. So we ask that you take a little bit of consideration when decided where and how you drive your carts. The picture below shows a tire rut that was left in front of 5 green.




This is Dylan, Dylan is a amazing member of our team. But he is also a Senior at Oconomowoc High School and apart of the KMMO hockey team. He had his first day of school the other day but not at the Highschool, he is apart of the youth apprenticeship program. So he spends his morning working and learning at the course and then spends the 2nd half of his day sitting in class leaning about not as fun stuff!.

He got up to early for his parents to take a first day picture so I asked him to pose!
