President’s Message

Hopefully everyone has recovered from the recent floods without much damage done to their golf courses. It seems to be a 
carbon copy of 1983 only the floods of 1984 are being followed by extreme temperatures and humidity.

I wish to thank those members who took the time to support the Dick Parsons Memorial Tournament. I regret that more 

members don’t take the effort to support this event.

A beautiful bowl was anonymously donated for the winner of the Dick Parsons Memorial Tournament. The winner of the 
bowl, along with the Dick Parsons Memorial Trophy, was Suffield Country Club’s GCS Tom Watroba. Tom will keep the 
trophy, with his name inscribed on it, for one year, and then pass it along for the 1985 winner. Tom also receives a smaller 
replica of the Memorial trophy to keep permanently.

We hope to update our membership list soon and anyone with any changes please contact Armand LeSage or Ron 

Holcomb. Let’s hope that Mother Nature will be kinder to us this summer than she was in May.

Grasses
for Tees 

and Fairways

We should forget much of what we 
know about turfgrasses—or at least 
that part we learned some years ago. 
The development and release of grasses 
within recent years, specifically selected 
or bred for turf purposes, has drastically 
changed the use potential of certain 
grasses. We work with these new grasses 
annually at the Experiment Station as 
they are released. My concepts of 
grasses or mixtures for golf course 
usage has had to be altered. For years 
we promoted Kentucky bluegrass as 
new, improved, varieties reached the 
market. Today, I question the value of 
bluegrass for golf courses in our region. 
Not many years ago we considered 
perennial ryegrass a bad grass for turf 
and seldom recommended fine fescues 
for anything but roughs. Also, we didn’t 
promote colonial bentgrass greatly as 
varieties available had many weak­
nesses.

Through observation on many golf 
courses annually and discussions with 
many superintendents each year I am 
amazed at how poorly grasses or 
mixtures are still selected. Too few 
people, including your seed sales people, 
have kept abreast of developments in 
the seed industry. We seem to keep up 
with developments in the pesticide 
industry but not with grass develop­
ment. Too often the deciding factor in 
seed selection is price and that is a 
mistake. The particular grass species 
and varieties you select for all areas of 
your golf course should be one of the 
most important decisions you make. 
This decision effects your entire 
management program and manage­
ment budget It influences water needs, 
fertilizer needs, mowing requirements, 
pesticide usage and, most importantly, 
the kind of playing surface you provide.
In recent years we have appropriately 
become more concerned about reduc­
ing maintenance costs and being more 
environmentally aware—not wasting 
natural resources or using any chemicals 
we don’t really need. In this light, then, 
let’s consider the different grasses avail­
able to us today and see how we can 
take advantage of them to improve our 
efficiency.

Robert R. Troup,
Prominent Judge 
and Lawyer, Joins 

Met GCSA

Met GCSA President Charles A. Mar- 
tineau has announced that one of 
Westchester County’s most prominent 
lawyers and judges has agreed to serve 
as Legal Counsel for the Metropolitan 
Golf Course Superintendents Associ­
ation—eff e ctive imme diately and with­
out fee.

Bob Troup is a graduate of Colgate 
University and the New York Law 
School. His experience includes work­
ing with the New York District Attorney 
and the National Labor Relations Board. 
For 23 years and continuing today, Bob 
Troup has worked for IBM in the legal 
field. Presently, he is sitting for his 
second term as Town Judge for the 
Township of Mt. Pleasant, NY.

An avid golfer, Bob has been a mem­
ber of the Whippoorwill Club in Armonk, 
NY since 1965. A long time member of 
the Board of Governors at Whippoor­
will, Bob served the prestigious Club 
'as President for the two years of 1975 
and 1976.

It is expected that Bob Troup will 
work closely with the Met GCSA Board 
of Directors and the Chapter as it 
develops new programs and policies 
within the previously announced model 
Management Research Project. Bob’s 
experience will be especially valuable 
within the Chapter’s INDIVIDUAL 
CAREER COUNSELING PRO­
GRAM —where some emphasis is 
being given to developing employment 
agreements between members and 
local golf clubs.

While it is not expected that the new 
Legal Counsel will work with individual 
members with their occasional legal 
questions, he will be available to recom­
mend what steps should be taken for 
different sets of circumstances. We are 
pleased to welcome Bob Troup to the 
Met GCSA family.

(con’t. from page 2)
Kentucky bluegrasses— a wide range of 
greatly improved varieties available, 
however: slow to germinate and not 
competitive with Poa annua, or other 
grasses in seedling stage. Require a pH 
level above 6.0 and a minimum of 2-5 
lbs. of N/1000 annually. Not particularly 
adapted to the 5/8 inch, or less, cutting 
height required on tees and fairways. 
Even on new course construction I 
have seldom seen bluegrass fairways 
persist in New England.

Perennial ryegrass — many turf-type, 
fine textured, varieties have been re­
leased. These have had a tremendous 
impact on overseeded fairways and 
tees. Seed germinates rapidly and 
seedlings do compete with Poa. Will 
tolerate lower mowing and less fertilizer 
than Kentucky bluegrass. Winter sur­
vival o.k.—except on wet soils. Handles 
traffic well—a tough grass. PH levels 
should be kept reasonably high. Vari­
eties such as Rapell, Pennant and Regal 
contain a high level of endophyte which 
provides resistance to sucking and 
chewing surface insects. Still some 
disease problems with ryegrasses but 
not usually serious when used in mixture 
with other grasses.

Fine fescues—there is still no great 
improvement in creeping red fescue. 
Pennlawnian old variety) is still the 
standard. This is o.k. for roughs. Will 
not tolerate close cut. Other varieties 
are Fortress, Boreal and Ruby.

Chewings fescue—a subspecies of creep­
ing red fescue with many excellent, 
improved varieties. Seed germinates 
fairly fast. I believe this is a grass with 
much more potential for golf course 
usage than is generally recognized. 
Tolerant of acid, infertile, dry soils. 
Not a heavy feeder. Holds good color 
most of the year (including early spring 
and late fall), will tolerate close cut, 
very fine textured. Jamestown, aU.R.I. 
release, was one of the first of the 
improved chewings varieties. Other 
good varieties are Banner, Barealla, 
Highlight, Jade and Menuet.

Hard fescue —a slightly different species 
but somewhat similar to Chewings. 
They are fine-leaved and low growing. 
Very well adapted to low fertility situa­
tions (such as roughs) Beljart (C-26),

Rain-Loss Of 

Nitrogen

The heavy rains of the past several 
weeks have depleted the soil of nitrate 
nitrogen by two processes; first, by 
leaching out of the root zone, and 
second, denitrification. This is the 
process by which soil micro-organisms 
in water soaked soil get their oxygen 
from nitrates as there is not enough 
atmospheric nitrogen available (the air 
spaces are filled with water). As a 
result, the removal of the oxygen from 
the nitrates leaves the nitrogen in a gas 
form which quickly dissipates into the 
air. This is a rapid process and can 
deplete most of the nitrates in a day or 
so of wet soil conditions.

As soon as the soil drains, and a 
waterlogged condition is no longer 
present, a nitrate fertilizer should be 
applied to all vegetable crops.

For example, use one pound per 100 
feet of row of urea or ammonium nitrate 
or ammonium sulfate or two pounds of 
sodium nitrate.

Reliant, Scaldis, Silvana and Tourna­
ment are all varieties that have looked 
good in our trials.

Colonial Bentgrass—another grass that 
should be more widely used on our 
New England golf courses. It is fine 
textured and tolerant of fairway and 
tee cutting heights. Also adapted to 
somewhat acid, infertile soils. Requires 
less water than creeping bents. Com­
petitive and spreads by short stolons 
and rhizomes. Very compatible with 
Chewings fescue. Improved varieties 
are Exeter (a U.R.I. development), 
Bardot and Holfior. They are all im­
provements over Astoria. Highland 
bent is not suited to New England 
conditions.

It is my belief that more use should 
be made of Perennial ryegrass, Chew­
ings fescue and Colonial bents for fair­
ways and tees. In addition I believe we 
should only be using improved varieties. 
Mixtures containing 5-15% Colonial 
bent, 20-40% Chewings fescue and 20-

More information to follow!

40% turf-type Perennial ryegrass should 
provide an excellent overseeding mix­
ture for tees and fairways. If some 
Kentucky bluegrass is desired perhaps 
the finer textured varieties such as 
Mystic, Fylking, Vantage or Touchdown 
could be added. Mystic and Touchdown 
are very aggressive varieties.

The availability of improved varieties 
of turfgrasses makes it necessary to 
rethink usage. We can have better turf 
with less input of management if we 
utilize these fine new grasses.

Report on Brian Silva’s Presentation

at Greenwich C.C.

f 

David Kerr, Assistant Superintendent 

Innis Arden Golf Club

Brian Silva of Cornish & Silva Architects shared some valuable insights on course 
remodeling as he addressed the MGCSA at the Greenwich C.C. this past May 15.
He began with an emphasis on establishing a comprehensive master plan. 
Thorough research prior to any reconstruction is sure to yield better playability and 
keep costs to minimum. You must begin with the course’s original design, not its 
current condition. Old plans, past photographs, and conversation with old members 
should yield a good idea of the original design. Next, we should examine the extent of 
remodeling. Most remodeling is not wall to wall; therefore a clear notion of existing 
style and scale is important. Each golf course architect has his or her own style which 
should be consistent throughout the course. It is important to detail your wants 
when sitting down with an architect. If not, he or she will likely remodel to his or her 
own style—which is fine if that is what you want. Prior to meeting with the architect, 
establish whether you want to retain, slightly change, or introduce a new style to 
your course.

Be sure to include often overlooked considerations such as cart paths, irrigation 
needs, ornamental plantings, etc. in your master plan. For example, we recently 
recontoured our fairways at Innis Arden with the understanding that we had to 
adjust our irrigation budget to include fairway head repositioning where gross 
changes were made.

The latter part of Mr. Silva’s presentation was on bunker restoration, a key topic 
as many clubs are remodeling all bunkers. These clubs are remodeling because their 
bunkers are either old and deteriorating, have been built incorrectly, or have been 
altered over the years. When reconstructing a bunker, we should keep in mind the 
function of a bunker and some basic rules of design. A bunker must be of sufficient
( character or depth to prevent a player from making as easy a shot off the fairway or 
fringe. The closer the bunker is to the green, the steeper the face and deeper the 
bunker. Exploded sand must be kept to reasonable levels. Lastly, eye appeal, 
strategy, and future maintenance complete the basics of design considerations. Mr. 
Silva mentioned a common finding in his remodeling efforts in reference to the war 
years. Many bunkers, which for economic reasons were filled in during the war years, 
need to be reestablished. Other bunkers have been moved too far from the green to 
reduce exploded sand and still others have remained the same while the greens have 
decreased in size, once again for economic reasons.

The talk was accompanied by an excellent slide presentation and I feel we all are 
in a better position to consider our own remodeling needs and are pleased to have 
Brian Silva as a valuable reference in our area.
