HEAT
by Dr. Nathaniel Mitkowski,
University of Rhode Island
According the to The National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration, the
period of May through July 2010 has
officially been deemed the hottest 3
month summer period in the Northeast
and the Southeast since records were
started in 1895. For the past 115 years,
a span of 4 human generations, no one
has seen a hotter summer in our region.
During July, Manchester NH saw sixteen
90 degree days (four more were 89
degree days). Windsor Locks, CT (just
north of Hartford) saw two 100 degree
days, thirteen 90 degree days and four
89 degree days. Providence, RI saw one
100 degree day, seven 90 degree days and
four 89 degree days. And while July was
certainly the peak of the summer-long
heat wave, even the temperatures in May
and June were much higher than average
across the region. Without exaggeration,
spending the summer in Rhode Island
this year felt just like a normal year in
North Carolina or Virginia. And as hot
as it was here, the temperatures in the
South were even higher. Richmond, VA
saw six 100 degree days (two were 105)
and seventeen 90 degree days (most of
them above 95 degrees). Out of 31 days,
70% were 90 degrees or warmer.
All this talk about weather and
temperature is more than just interesting;
this information is absolutely critical
in understanding much of the decline
and damage that has occurred on turf
throughout the East Coast this summer.
In describing the level of extreme
temperature this summer, it is important
to examine the duration of the heat
wave. While New England frequently
experiences 90 degree days every
summer, normally those warmer days
are mixed in with many 70 and 80 degree
days. This year, it was not unusual to get
3-4 consecutive 90 degree days with a
single day of cooler temperatures before
the heat returned. In Hartford during

contact Scott Ramsay as soon as possible.
If you participated in the process, Great
Work! Remember to send a Thank You
email to the legislators that you contacted.
If you are yet to get involved, we still need
your help! Government Relations have
been, and will continue to be one of the
Golf Industries biggest challenges moving
forward. There are currently a myriad of
National and Local Regulations in the works
that are targeting Pesticides, Fertilizers,
and Water. Apathy is not an option, if
we do not seek out these legislators and
help to sculpt these Regulations, our jobs
and our livelihood may be at stake. Every
voice makes a difference, so speak up!
Government Relations Chairman, Scott
Ramsay has worked
tirelessly on these
issues, and we all owe
him a debt of gratitude.
Another season is in
the books, and as we all
prepare our courses for
winter and anxiously
await the season’s
first snowfall, we can
collectively take a deep
breath and be thankful
for a bit of down time.
This has certainly been
One Small Step…………………..
Thank you to all that responded to the
Water Diversion Regulation Process by
calling, emailing, and sending letters to
our Legislators. On October 26th, the
Regulatory Review Committee voted to
reject the Regulation and send it back to
DEP for modification. We may have won the
battle, but this was just the first step in what
will be an ongoing process. It is now time to
bring all of the innovation of our industry
together to make recommendation for
reasonable change that can be incorporated
into this imminent legislation. If you would
like to serve on the committee, or provide
some “brain storming” bullet points, please
a summer that we will never forget, and we
should remember to thank those that help
us through it. Our staff, co-workers, peers,
and especially our families. I would like to
publicly thank the Board of Directors and
Mary Jo Kennedy for their dedication and
hard work, our Commercial Members for their
continued support throughout these difficult
economic times, and you, our members for
making this association one that I am proud
to be a member of. I hope to see you all on
December 1st at our Education Seminar, and
on December 9th for our Annual Christmas
Party!

continued from page 1...
July, there was at least one stretch with 7
consecutive 90 degree days. In Richmond,
there was a 16 day streak of 90 degree days.
In general, the more 90 degree days we have
in a row, the more dramatic the decline in turf
quality. As the summer got underway, many
superintendents reminisced about the summer
of 1988, heretofore the worst superintendent
summer of all time. Without a doubt, the
summer of 2010 has surpassed it as the hottest
and worst summer in the Northeast for
growing grass.
A second factor also needs to be considered
and that is the manner in which soil heats
up and holds heat. Soil is an insulator. It
takes longer to heat than air and it holds heat
longer. In fact, the radiation of heat back into
the environment from the soil has a significant
impact on air temperatures. What this means
is that if the air temperature is 90 degrees, the
soil temperature will be at least that high and
probably higher. When temperatures drop
at night, soil temperatures drop much more
slowly. The consequence of this phenomenon
is that during continual high air temperatures,
plant roots are constantly experiencing
even higher and more consistently high soil
temperatures. This is a major problem for
turfgrass plants. Extensive research at Rutgers
and other locations has demonstrated that
turf quality and plant health decline rapidly
as plants are continually exposed to 24 hour a
day hot temperatures- exactly what happened
this summer. The physiological reasons for
this are complex but well documented.
A final factor to consider is humidity and rain.
When the air is dry, plants move water from the
soil and into the air through evapotranspiration.
This process also moves nutrients through
the plant and more importantly, cools plants
down. This past summer, high humidity shut
down evapotranspiration, causing plants to
get even hotter than if humidity had been low.
When evapotranspiration shuts down, water
remains in the soil. This then pushes oxygen
out of the soil. We often think that nitrogen is
the most important nutrient. Actually, oxygen
in the soil is the most important nutrient.
Plants can go along time without nitrogen.
When oxygen is pushed out of the soil, plants
die rapidly- within a few days. With no
oxygen in the soil, soil becomes anaerobic,
roots atrophy and plants die. And this whole
thing is complicated by watering. When roots
die plants wilt. In order to prevent plants
from wilting, plants must be syringed. This
adds water to the soil, increasing the level of
root atrophy. This cycle is particularly vicious
and nearly impossible to escape.
Despite the tremendous heat experienced this
past summer, not all golf courses faired poorly,
a few courses even thrived. However, the
most successful courses were almost always
those on USGA sand greens, with excellent
drainage, a high percentage of bentgrass,
little play and a lot of luck. While it is entirely
possible to grow grass on a putting green
under less than perfect conditions (i.e. poor
drainage, heavy soils, pocketed environments,
excessive shade and primarily Poa annua),
this is the year that marginal putting greens
failed. In fact, the summer was so severe
that courses in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania,
Virginia and Georgia closed entirely for weeks
at a time, some to simply recover and others to
completely regrass.
While bentgrass generally did better than Poa,
it was certainly not immune from summer
related problems, including a new bacterial
wilt of bentgrass, localized dry spots, take-all
patch and bentgrass summer decline. But
Poa annua took the brunt of the damage this
summer from both heat stress and disease.
Summer patch, bacterial wilt, nematodes, and
anthracnose were rampant. More Poa annua
greens were partially or entirely lost this
year than in any previous year in the last ten.
Other diseases were also common, including
Pythium blight and brown patch, neither of
which has a preference as to which host it
attacks. And for the first time in my career,
copper spot was widespread.
In short, the summer of 2010 was a summer
most of us would happily forget. However, we
can all take some of the lessons learned from
this year and apply them next year, hoping
for better weather. We should also never
forget that every golf course superintendent
is a farmer, a grower of grass. Despite all the
tools we have available to grow and manage
grass, we should remember that we cannot
always overcome nature and are often subject
to its whims.

AMERICA’S BEST COLLEGE
GOLF COURSE
By Sarah Scott, Yale Daily News
The Yale Golf Course was recently named
America’s best college golf course by
Golfweek magazine. Yale Golf Course
superintendent Scott Ramsay renovated
the course after arriving in New Haven six
years ago.
Yale has always been known for its
architecture, from Sterling Memorial
Library to the Yale Bowl. But a mere 12-
minute drive from campus, there is an
architectural gem of a different variety.
Earlier this month, Golfweek magazine
ranked Yale’s golf course, The Course at
Yale, the number one college golf course in
the magazine’s “Best Campus Courses” in
2010. “At Yale, the golf course is as good
as the education,” said Scott Ramsay, the
course’s superintendant. Bradley Klein,
Golfweek’s architecture editor, said he and
a team of 625 course evaluators stationed
around the world rank golf courses in
various categories. Klein has been in
charge of “Golfweek’s Best” for the last 16
years, he said. According to “Golfweek’s
Best Courses Rater Handbook 2010-’11,”
the evaluators judge courses based on 10
criteria, including the overall land plan,
variety and memorability of various pars,
conditioning, integrity of design (for classic
courses) and quality of shaping (for modern
courses). Golfweek’s acknowledgement of
Yale’s course, which has also been ranked
among the overall top 100 courses in the
United States in various other publications,
is another accolade for a course that already
had a storied past.
BACK TO THE ROARING ’20s
In 1924, Sarah Tompkins gave 700 acres of
land to Yale in memory of her husband,
Ray Tompkins, class of 1884. Yale employed
United State Golf Association co-founder
and legendary golf course architect Charles
Blair McDonald to design each of the 18
holes. Famed golf course architects Seth
Raynor and Charles Banks implemented
McDonald’s designs. The $400,000 final
product, which opened in 1926, was one of
the most expensive golf courses ever built at
the time, Klein said. Men’s head golf coach
Colin Sheehan ’97 added that the course is
a relic of the Roaring ’20s, going hand-inhand
with Yale’s other ambitious projects
of the time, including the residential
colleges, the Yale Bowl and Payne Whitney
Gymnasium. Peter Pulaski, director of golf
operations at The Course at Yale, said the
course is one of the best examples of early
American golf architecture.
“I find it amazing that the people involved
did what they did with very little modern
machinery,” Pulaski said. Klein said the
architects adopted British and Scottish
elements on an enormous piece of land
with lots of rock, heavy soil and dramatic
trees, resulting in a course of Gothic
proportions. “There’s nothing soft about
it,” Klein said. “It’s very pronounced and
theatrical.” Furthermore, Klein said the
top-quality course was designed for a topquality
golf program; Yale went on to win
four NCAA championships in the 1930s.
TENDING THE GARDEN
Yet over time, the golf course lost its
classical charm. Klein said the ’80s and ’90s
were periods of modernization to a “softer,
Florida look.” In September 2003, Klein
went as far as to say, the course in was
“a landmark gone askew.” Ramsay, who
has studied golf course architecture for 20
years, came to the Yale golf course six years
ago and began the on-going turnaround.
“I took a photograph of [the golf course
from] 1934, and I studied the bunker
profiles, the tree lines, the fairway mowing
lines and the shapes of the greens,” he said.
“I got a sense of what the original intent of
the architect was.” Sheehan said Ramsay
restored the fairway and green
sizes to their original specifications,
solved drainage problems and
cleaned up the tree lines. After
trimming trees and mowing
lines, Ramsay said he is still only
halfway there. There is more tree
work to complete, along with
leveling tees, improving drainage
and upgrading the agronomy.
Klein said that in “Golfweek’s
Best” judging criteria, Yale has
stood out in its conditioning — or
quality of course maintenance. He
said Ramsay, who won Golfweek’s
Superintendant of the Year
award in 2006, under-stands the
classical design of the golf course.
In particular, Klein said Ramsay
has made the bunkers more
severe and stark as opposed
to the “Florida look.” “We’re a
throwback,” Ramsay said. “The
course is not tidy and park-like.
We let things get overgrown…
This lends itself well to being very
environmentally friendly.” As to
whether or not use of the golf
course has increased as a result of
the course’s improvements,

Ramsay said the course play at
Yale has held its own through the
recession.
PLAYING THE GREEN
Ramsay and Pulaski’s efforts have
attracted top golfers to play for
Yale. Klein said that regardless
of where a golfer attends college,
he or she develops an emotional
relationship with the golf course.
In the case of Yale, the course is
unique because it syncs with the
museum quality of the rest of the
campus. Men’s golf captain Tom
McCarthy ’11, who was named the
Ivy League Player of the Year last
year, said the accessibility of the
course to campus, as well as the
challenging nature of the course,
were clinchers for him. “When
you’re playing a very hard course,
you’re more likely to get better,” he
said. “Princeton and Cornell have
good courses, but ours is much
more challenging.”
McCarthy added the severe nature
of the property, with elevation
changes, gives off an intimidating
visual appearance. Because golf

is a very mental and visual game, hazards and uphill shots may cause even the best players to make a
mistakes. Women’s golf captain Alyssa Roland ’11 said the golf course at Yale helped her choose to between
Yale and Harvard, as Harvard’s course is farther away from campus and the school does not own it. “[The
course] makes golf a whole new sport,” Roland said. Women’s golf coach Chawwadee Rompothong ’00
said that while she did not think the golf course was necessarily the clincher for her players to attend Yale,
the course experience, including an extremely supportive staff, made the course very attractive. “There is
no question the course helps [to attract players],” Sheehan said. “The University is its own attraction for
students, and then the golf course seals the deal.” He added: “The design of the Yale Golf Course belongs in
the elite echelon of golf architecture in America. It does deserve to be considered one of the top 20 courses
in the country.” Copyright 2010 Yale Daily News Publishing Company, Inc. All rights reserved. Printed with Permission.
