Les Kennedy, Jr. CGCS – 2006 CAGCS
Superintendent Of The Year
The Superintendent of the Year award
is our association’s highest honor. This
award is special because you, his peers,
choose the recipient. We have asked each
of you, by your vote, to choose who is
most deserving of this very special designation.
This year’s superintendent is a long-term
veteran of the business, who grew up in
a family where golf paid the bills. He has
worked as both an assistant superintendent
& as a superintendent at 7 different
golf courses since the early 70’s.
He has been a member of the GCSAA
since 1979 and a member of the Ct. Association
of Golf Course Superintendents
since 1984 and has always been an active
member. He has also been a member of
the Metropolitan Golf Course Superintendents
Association since 1984 and rejoined
the Rhode Island Association of
Golf Course Superintendents in 2001.
He has served on the CAGCS Board of
Directors for 3 years as the Government
Relations/ Public Relations Director and
for 2 years as Treasurer. He has represented
us at GCSAA as our voting delegate
and has also volunteered his time to
take photographs for the Ct. Clippings.
With all the time he has given our association,
he has also served on numerous
committees with the GCSAA, including
the Ambassador Speakers program. He
did a talk in 1987 at the GCSAA Conference
and Show on “Major Renovation
in a New Position”; in 1992 did a talk
in Spain at their Promo Verde on “Golf
Course Maintenance in America” and
also published an article in the USGA
Green Section Record (Jan/Feb 1992)
titled “Washed Sod, A Viable Alternative
in Greens Construction”. He has also
participated in the GCSAA golf tournament
for over 20 years. He has been a
Certified Golf Course Superintendent
since 1986. He is also a lifetime member
of the Golden Tee Club.
His humble beginnings started working
for his dad, in the bag room at the
Pawtucket Country Club. It didn’t take
long to realize that working out on the
course, was the place to be and he joined
the grounds crew in 1972 and eventually
took his first superintendent position at
this club in 1976.
After leaving Pawtucket Country Club
in 1981 he worked at Ledgemont Country
Club as the Assistant Superintendent
for one season under Anthony Caranci,
Golf Course Superintendent. The following
year he worked at Belmont Country
Club as the Assistant Superintendent
for one season under Arthur Silva, Golf
Course Superintendent.
In 1983 he became the Golf Course Superintendent
at Oak Lane Country Club
and resided there for 11 years.

solid schedule of events for the year,
highlighted by our Scholarship and
Research Tournament being held a Lake
of Isles (Curtis Tyrell, CGCS) and a return
to the Great River Golf Club (Sean Flynn)
for our Annual Invitational. I would like
to thank all of the host Superintendents
and their Clubs for hosting us. It has
become increasingly difficult to secure
sites, as outing dates are few and far
between.
Sean Flynn, our golf chairperson, has
been working with Joe Parrillo, of the
CSGA, toward returning to the GHIN
system that we have used in the past.
There will be laptop on site at our
events and all scores will be recorded
the day of the event. Members will still
be responsible for posting non-CAGCS
event scores, which is very easy to do
online. Joe is a good friend to our group
and I would like to thank him, as well as
Sean for their efforts.
Finally, I was provided the opportunity to
speak at the CT Section of the PGA’s Spring
Meeting. As usual, they provided me with a
warm reception. I would like to thank Tom
Hantke, their Executive Director for having
me. Their group is very interested in being
a more significant part of our Invitational,
so I would ask that our members try to
include them for the day.
I hope everyone has a productive spring
and look forward to seeing you at our first
meeting at the Fox Hopyard Golf Club.
Good luck,
Keith Angilly
The 2007 golf season is now upon us.
It’s time to get the staff cracking, fill up
those irrigation systems, and do what
we do best. Hopefully we will be dealing
with a kinder and gentler Mother Nature
this year. Our Education chairperson,
Mark Mansur, has put together another

Next, he moved on to become the Superintendent
at the Country Club of Waterbury
where he stayed for 4 years, before
moving on to his present position at The
Blind Brook Club in Purchase, NY where
he is in his 8th year as the Superintendent
there.
Most of you by now, know who this
years recipient is, but you may not have
known his history. You may only know
him as the relentless seller of CAGCS
Scholarship and Research raffle tickets!
As you now know, there is much more to
this dedicated superintendent.
There are some special people in his life
who have mentored him over the years
that must be mentioned –
The mentors in his life - his dad, Les Kennedy,
Sr., formerly Golf Professional and
Superintendent at Pawtucket CC, Manuel
Frances formerly the Golf Course
Superintendent/owner at Green Harbor
Golf Course, in Marshfield, MA & Tony
Caranci formerly the Golf Course Superintendent
at Ledgemont Country Club,
Seekonk, MA.
We all know the woman behind the man, Mary Jo, and they have been married for 25-
years! They have one daughter, Katie who is attending Northeastern University, in Boston,
majoring in Accounting, with a minor in Red Sox baseball.
His hobbies: He enjoys playing golf, tinkering with his 1971 MGB, traveling, reading a
good suspense novel, watching sports - doesn’t matter what sport, he’ll watch them all!
Ladies and Gentleman, it is my honor and pleasure to present this award to our 2006
CAGCS Superintendent of the Year, Mr. Les Kennedy, Jr. CGCS.

A Letter From Les
Thank you all so much for voting me
your 2006 Superintendent of the Year. I
am honored and truly humbled to receive
this great award. Having taken the Blind
Brook Club job in nearby New York 7
years ago, the last thing I ever expected
was to be recognized by this group. As a
member of 3 local chapters (the RIGCSA,
where I started my career, the MetGCSA
where I currently work, and the CAGCS
that I joined in 1984 when Mary Jo and
I first moved to CT) I have been blessed
with many great friendships in all three
groups. But as I stand before you today
to receive your highest honor I consider
myself to be a CT guy! Thanks again for
this honor means so much to me.
I could not accept this award without
speaking of my father, Les Kennedy, Sr.
He was golf professional at Pawtucket
CC in RI and he taught me this great game
that everyone in this room is associated
with. Without the game of golf we
would all be doing something different.
I was raised to be a player, the son of the
pro destined to become a pro himself one
day. But a funny thing happened along
the way. My game needed help, I did
not enjoy practicing and a future in the
golf shop was not very appealing!! As
the head professional my Dad also took
on the responsibilities of the greenkeeper
(as we where know in those days) and
in 1972 offered me the chance to move
onto the course maintenance staff to
see if a different part of the golf world
appeal to me. My career as a golf
course superintendent had begun. Later
in life my Dad would joke that it was
a good thing I could grow grass for a
living because I would have been a very
hungry (not very good) golfer!! I lost
my Dad to cancer in 2000
shortly after my Mom
had passed in the same
year. I miss them both
greatly and I know they
are here with us today
and are very proud of
their son. For everyone
here whose parents are
still with us, cherish them
while you can for one day
they too will be gone.
My wife of 25 years, Mary Jo, has been
the backbone of my life. She has made
it easy for me to achieve my goals in this
great profession and as your Executive
Secretary she has also made it easy
for me to assist the association in the
small ways I do. Thank you Mary Jo for
making my life complete.
To everyone in this room, there is no
greater honor than that which is bestowed
by your peers. Thank you all again from
the bottom of my heart, I am proud to be
the CAGCS Superintendent of the Year!!!

UConn Turf Students
in Anaheim
By: Nate Miller, Senior in Turfgrass Science
The students in the University of
Connecticut Turfgrass Science Program
would like to thank the Connecticut
Association of Golf Course Superintendents
for funding student travel to the Golf
Industry Show in Anaheim, CA. Through
their generous support, UConn was
able to send seven turfgrass students
to the national conference and show.
While in Anaheim, students were able to
interact with a diverse group of turfgrass
managers from across the country and the
world. We also appreciated the support
and interest from our local golf course
superintendents who stopped by the
UConn booth to “talk turf.”
In addition to the trade show, students
participated in the 13th annual GCSAA
Collegiate Turf Bowl. This year’s event
was very competitive and a total of 81
teams from across the country participated.
The University of Connecticut’s turfgrass
students did not disappoint as the top
team, consisting of Chris Orlich, Brian
Tencza, Marc Dubour, and Nate Miller,
finished in 14th place. A second, twoman
team of David McIntyre and David
Golembeski also had a strong showing
in the competition. In addition to the
undergraduates, graduate student Alex
Putman (advised by Assistant Professor
John Kaminski) took the top spot among
all competing graduate students. As has
been the trend for the past few years, teams
from Iowa State (1st and 2nd) and Purdue
(3rd - 5th) finished in the top five spots.
In addition to competing in the turf bowl,
turfgrass students Brian Tencza and
David Golembeski received individual
honors from the Association. David was
recognized as a GCSAA Scholar for his
academic achievements and potential
to become a leading professional in the
golf course industry. Brian was selected
to become a member of the GCSAA’s
Student Advisory Board. He will serve
as a student representative and work to
educate students on the benefits of joining
this network of professionals.
Additional financial support was provided
by the College of Agriculture and Natural
Resources, UConn Turfgrass Disease
Diagnostic Center, and Undergraduate
Student Government. Again, the Turf
Club would like to thank all those that
contributed to this experience. This
opportunity would not have been
possible without your generous support.
Turfgrass students at UConn look forward
to participating in next years GCSAA
competition and also hope to attend the
STMA conference in January. For more
information on how you can support
student involvement in local and national
meetings, please contact Turf Club
advisors Steve Rackliffe (860-486-1944) or
John Kaminski (860-486-0162).

Third Phase of GCSAA’s
National Golf Course
Environmental Profile
Project Coming Soon
Widespread participation of GCSAA
members and non-members is needed for
continued success in the third phase of the
association’s Golf Course Environmental
Profile Project. The results will be used to
provide an accurate portrayal of nutrient
use on golf courses.
This phase will collect data from golf
course superintendents on the amount of
nutrients applied to golf courses. Surveys
will be distributed beginning March 19 in
both hard copy and electronic forms, with
the cutoff date for the receipt of information
April 27.
“We have been pleased by the response
rate of the first two phases,” GCSAA Director
of Research Clark Throssell, Ph.D.,
said. “It is important that we have strong
participation by both GCSAA member and
non-member superintendents to compile
the necessary data. It is vital that we get
data from all types and sizes of facilities.
The information will help GCSAA to better
serve them in managing their facilities.”
The survey is part of a multi-year project
being undertaken by GCSAA that will
evaluate environmental performance on
golf courses. The Golf Course Environmental
Profile project is designed to collect
information that will allow superintendents
and other facility personnel to become
better managers, help them operate
more efficiently and lead to GCSAA developing
more valuable programs and services.
Such information will include details
about playing surfaces, natural resources,
environmental stewardship efforts and
maintenance practices on the golf course.
Throssell indicated the data are still being
analyzed from the first two phases,
one focusing on the physical profile of
a golf facility and the other on water use
and conservation. The first comprehensive
report of the first two phases will appear
in a peer-reviewed scientific journal this
year. The Environmental Institute for Golf
funded the first two phases of the project
thanks in part to a grant from The Toro
Foundation.
The Environmental Institute for Golf, the
philanthropic organization of the GCSAA,
is a collaborative effort of the environmental
and golf communities, dedicated
to strengthening the compatibility of golf
with the natural environment. The Institute
concentrates on delivering programs
and services involving research, education
and outreach that communicate the best
management practices of environmental
stewardship on the golf course. For more

10th Anniversary
Conference & Show
another Landmark
and Success!
Congratulations and thank you to everyone
involved in the 2007 New England
Regional Turfgrass Conference and Show
just completed! Being the 10th show, the
NERTF Board of Directors hoped to make
2007 a show to remember, and for at least
one individual a show they will never forget.
Mr. George Bell, equipment technician
at Brown University, whose boss, Pat
Vetere calls a “great guy”, should have no
problem remembering as he toots around
in his brand new 2007 Harley Davidson
Fat Boy Motorcycle that he won in the 10th
Anniversary Give-a-Way Raffle. Congratulations
George, drive safe and we sure
hope your wife likes it too!
In an industry dealing with an ever changing
work environment, the signs continue
to point to education as the constant key
to success. More than 275 attendees enjoyed
the opportunity to attend seminars
at this year’s conference and show, with a
whopping 175 individuals in the Turfgrass
Diseases of New England seminar alone!
Other education sessions over the three
days had strong attendance and support
from an excellent line-up of speakers from
across the states including Dr. Joe Vargas
of Michigan State University along with
many speakers from UConn, UMass, and
URI. We thank all those who made presentations
during the 4 intensive days of
education opportunities.
It was a tight room of 800 people as Rodney
Harrison of the New England Patriots
addressed the crowd as our highlighted
keynote speaker sponsored by Bayer Environmental
and LESCO. Rodney shared
some personal thoughts and laughs, and
then signed what seemed like a million
autographs on the trade show floor during
our opening trade show reception sponsored
by TPC. This year’s trade show was
larger than last year, thanks to vendors
support and additionally for the donations
of auction items, which were sold for
a record $22,500! The annual auction has
fast become a favorite event of many; as
Auctioneer Danny Calise and emcee Manny
Mihailides, with the help of Bobby “I’m
working here!” Gebo, who entertain and
convince the crowd to go to higher bids!
Added to the end of the auction this year
was the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful
reception of food and hors d’oeuvres right
on the show floor sponsored by Syngenta
and Harrell’s Turf Specialty! These funds
will all be applied to important Turfgrass
Research being investigated here in the
New England States. We wish to thank all
our sponsors, presenters, vendors, donors,
workers and attendees for all your generosity
over the last 10 years. To quote the
great Henry Ford: “Coming Together is a
Beginning, Keeping Together is Progress,
Working Together is Success!”
With 10 years now behind us, so what’s
next? This is a great question. The NERTF
needs everyone’s help to insure that this
great event continues to be on the right
track. We are including a survey with this
article and ask anyone who had the chance
to come to this year’s show to help us to
evaluate how we are doing with an incentive.
Please take a few minutes and fill out
the 2007 New England Regional Turfgrass
Conference and Show Turf 2007 Evaluation
sheet and send it into us. Just fill it
out, fold it over, tape it, stamp it and send
it! That is all we ask, and if you do it before
June 1st, you will be entered into a drawing
for a free 3-day Conference and Show
pass w/ a 2-night stay in the Westin Hotel
for 2008 ($450 value). So, please help us
with good information. If you have any
comments or questions concerning the
foundation, don’t forget you can talk to
your association delegates to the NERTF
Board of Directors or call our office 401-
841-5490. In the meantime, we hope you
enjoy the Spring!
