For eight days, 20 subjects took either 2,000 mg of Vitamin C and 1,000 1U of Vitamin E, or placebo tablets. After exposure to ultraviolet rays, the C and E group developed milder bums. These vitamins may slow the oxidation damage that causes sunburn, says Richard Wagner, M.D., dermatologist at the University of Texas at Galveston. The combination provides an SPF of only 1.4, so topical sunscreen is still your best protection. Dr. Wagner advises that you consult your doctor before you take high dosages of C and E.

OFFICERS President's Message. & We are in the full swing of things as far as the golf season goes. Thunderstorms and DIRECTORS members’ complaints are moving in from day to day. I love this job! A big thanks goes out to Jason Barndt, Golf Course Superintendent, and the staff at 1998 Berwick Golf Club for the great hospitality at last month’s meeting. Great job, Jason! TURFGRASS I am sure Mark Eisele and his staff at Woodloch Springs are getting the course in ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT shape for all of us for the June meeting. If you haven’t played there yet, be sure to get Ron Garrison, CGCS out that day to experience all his fine work. This meeting will also include a qualifier Fox Hill Country Club for the PTC Tournament in October. Bring your “A” game that day. It is also time to dethrone Kelly Kressler and Tony Grieco. They have won at the last few meetings. VICE PRESIDENT Are you guys ready for a challenge? Jack Bird Remember to pick up the phone and give your neighboring superintendent a call The Hideout, Inc. every once in a while. Our support for one another will get us through the next few months.

Garrison, CGCS PAST PRESIDENT Jeff Peters, CGCS Wild Pines Golf Club DIRECTORS Stephen Stranzl Green Acres Golf Course Jim MacLaren Turf Specialty, Inc. From the Editor's Desk..... Thomas Wilchak Bethlehem Golf Club I saw the movie Bulworth the other day. It was a sad commentary on our political system and life in general. This is not about movie reviews, but the Gene Huelster commercialization of our industry. When did everything become about money? We Pocono Farms C.C. complain when golfers demand more than what they are willing to pay for, yet we do it in our own industry. Every time we have an outing, my golf course looks like the Tony Grieco, CGCS sidé of the road during election time. My employees look like billboards for the Silver Creek C.C. chemical industry. I’m just waiting to sell advertising space on the equipment, like a Nascar. I guess what bothers me the most is the demands we put on our associations to provide more and more. The GCSAA has sunk to selling our course information CHIPS & PUTTS STAFF (names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.) and every lunch, meeting, or golf event, just EDITORS to keep up with the demands of its membership. 1know that at this moment many of Tony Grieco, CGCS/Jim MacLaren you are thinking there is nothing wrong with it as long as my dues stay low. The 147 Hayfield Road problem is all that money will eventually lead to corruption. I don’t believe there is Shavertown, PA 18708 any in our association presently, but believe, as in every other industry, that it is 717-675-3800 inevitable. Don’t we have enough shirts, hats, and pocket knives? Do we really need Fax:717-675-0564 big money sponsors for every national event?
