chips v puns OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE Founded in POCONO TURFGRASS ASSOCIATION 1936 TURFGRASS ASSOCIATION VOL. 4, NO. 6 AUGUST 1998 Prepare Your Research Proposals Research - It’s the time of year to start thinking about submitting research proposals for the National, Chapter Cooperative and The Chapter Grant-in-Aid Research programs. The research department will accept proposals August 1 - November 1, 1998. Each program serves a specific purpose. The National Research Program is designed to fund projects with broad, national scope or projects with results that can be applied to a broad geographical area. National projects may be co-funded with other agencies such as the USGA, the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program or other organizations. Support through this program is limited to $10,000 per year for up to five years per project. The proposals must be accompanied by a letter of support from the president of a GCSAA-affiliated chapter that attests to the need and relevancy of the research to the golf course industry. All qualifying proposals will be considered by the research committee early in 1999. The committee will recommend which projects to fund, and The GCSAA Foundation Board of Trustees will act on the recommendations at its meeting in Orlando in February. The specific requirements and guidelines for the proposals can be found on the GCSAA Website or you can obtain a copy of the guidelines by calling the service center. If you would like to obtain a sample of a proposal or have questions about the guidelines, conta.ct Anne Woods, research coordinator, at 800-472-7878, Ext. 615, or email to awoods@gcsaa.org.

Today we completed our eighth consecutive day with the irrigation running. We all knew it was going to be a strange year with all that El Nino hype this past TURFGRASS 1998 ASSOCIATION winter! I must extend a “Thank you” to a few people for their work the past few months: PRESIDENT Mark Eisele and staff for hosting the June meeting at Woodloch; Dr. John Grande for Ron Garrison, CGCS his talk at Woodloch; Steven Taggart and staff for hosting the July meeting at Fox Hill Country Club Shawnee; and Gene Huelster, Chairman, Education Committee, for getting the round table discussion started. I know we didn’t get the response we were hoping for, but VICE PRESIDENT new things take some time to get established. A special thanks to Nat Binns, Jack Bird Schuylkill C.C. for donating $50.00 to the Association. Thanks, guys! The Hideout, Inc. Why does it seem much easier to be negative and critical, than it is to stay positive and compliment a job well done. I may be venturing into an area best suited for our SECRETARY/TREASURER editor, but here goes... Scott A. Schukraft It’s been a strange year. Huntsville Golf Club Our monthly editorials have created a lot of discussion and criticism. Last month I did not write a President’s Message because I think I reached a point of disgust that I PAST PRESIDENT initially set forth not to do. How soon people forget how far we all have come. Not Jeff Peters, CGCS only in this association, but in our everyday lives and daily routines. Wild Pines Golf Club The article that was written in the area where the President’s Message is usually printed was put there to possibly stir some interest and get people involved. The DIRECTORS Stephen Stranzl (Continued on page 3) Green Acres Golf Course Jim MacLaren Turf Specialty, Inc. From the Editor’s Desk..... Thomas Wilchak Bethlehem Golf Club Recently the Nation mourned the loss of one of its great astronauts, Alan Shepherd. Why mention this in our newsletter? Because many forget the Gene Huelster contribution he made to our livelihood: golf. Alan Shepherd, you may remember, is Pocono Farms C.C. the astronaut who hit a golf ball on the moon. Although this feat is often excluded from the annals of g o lfs rise in popularity, it did come at a very opportune time in the Tony Grieco, CGCS sport’s history. Silver Creek C.C. I often use this space to gripe about something in our industry or life in general, but I would like to mention something positive this time. Last month Valley Country CHIPS & PUTTS STAFF Club was hit by a small, but very damaging storm (see Eric Reed’s letter in this issue) and earlier Fran Davitt lost his maintenance building in a fire. One of the great things EDITORS about our profession is the way in which people work together and help each other. Tony Grieco, CGCS/Jim MacLaren It’s easy in this day and age to make excuses and look the other way. I know I did. I 147 Hayfield Road told myself those clubs are too far away; I’ve got enough problems of my own this Shavertown, PA 18708 717-675-3800 time of year, and so on.

That is the kind of people superintendents are (you guys in sales are included!). I can’t think of any other business or aspect of our industry that supports EDITORIAL COMMITTEE each other the way we do, and it makes me proud. Can you imagine the chef Doug Bowman borrowing food from another club if he ran short before a major function? Even the John Chassard Scott Schukraft pro comes to me when he is short of carts for an event because his calls to other pros Jonathan Suitch go unanswered. So next time you’re depressed and wondering why you ever got in the business, just think of all those individuals that are not golf course superintendents. Don’t forget, that wasn’t a bat and baseball they took to the moon!
