S & R Tournament October 3rd Glastonbury Hills Country Club Glastonbury, CT Around the Board Table r Our President, Tom Watroba, on behalf of CAGCS, has made a request to GCSAA that Dr. Noel Jackson from the Univer­ sity of Rhode Island be considered for the Annual Distinguished Service Award which is presented at the GCSAA Conference & Show. The Rhode Island Association is acting as a co-sponsor with the Connecticut Association in this endeavor. Tom also sent thank you letters to all of our past monthly meeting hosts and also to the Connecticut Women’s Golf Asso­ ciation for their donation to our S & R Fund. Tom also sent a thank you letter to Golf Magazine for the arti­ cle written by Frank Hannigan entitled "A Super Job". That arti­ cle was reprinted in the August issue of the Clippings. Read it if you haven’t. CAGCS received a thank you letter itself from Larry O'Brien from the Basketball Hall of Fame thanking us for the opportunity to play in our Annual Invitational. Committee Activities Dave Stimson, Chairman of the Education Committee, has reported that speakers for our annual January seminar are in order. The four speakers we have committed to the seminar at this time are Dr. James Watson from the Toro Company; Mr. Donovan from Agridiognostics; Mr. Otis from the USGA; and Duane Patton, CGCS, from the GCSAA. The January seminar will be held January 8,1991. Greg Piontek from the DEP will also be one of our feature speakers at the seminar. He will be presenting us with a forum by which to have our questions answered in reference to the new posting and recycling laws which will become effective in 1991. Peter Pierson, our Representative from PPUC, has announced that the DEP will be working toward posting regula­ tions for next season. The testing procedures for the pesticide license exam are being revamped and a new study manual is being adopted. We also have been informed that as of January 1,1991, golf courses will be subject to the recycling laws. Commercial Rep., Stephanie Zanieski, has been busy preparing for the 1990 Superintendent of the Year Award. Stepha­ nie and her Committee, which is made up of past winners, have revised the cover letter and will soon be sending out a list of eligi­ ble members and a ballot for all to vote. The award, bestowed on the recipient by his peers, is given annually at the January seminar. Public Relations has announced that Golf Course News has requested to receive information from our Association concerning any job changes, new golf courses, election results and any other pertinent information that may come down throughout the season. We are also pursuing an interview to be conducted by A1 Terzi of Chanel 8 with four superintendents from the Connecticut area. Planning a Golf Course Irrigation System The Design/installation Team By Austin J. Miller, PE, CID Even with computer control of golf course irrigation systems, it is possible to build restrictions into the system which present a flexible watering program. Small pipe size, too many sprinklers on one control circuit, wide varia­ tions in elevation without proper pumping plant control, extensive looping and improper sprinkler spacing leave the golf course superintendent with pre­ cise control, but control over an inefficient irrigation layout Several years ago the New Mexico GCSA published an "open letter" on "the Achilles" heel of our water crisis. Most of the problems mentioned in the letter would not have occurred if the correct approach to the design/installation of a golf course irrigation sys­ tem had been followed. The Correct Approach Five individual inputs are needed to design/install a suitable golf course irrigation system: Owner, Board of Directors, Greens Committee; Golf Course Superintendent; Engineer/Designer, Equipment Distributor; Installa­ tion Contractor. If any of the above interests are not represented on the Design/installation team, the final product will not be an ideal irrigation system. The Owner . . . The owner's interest is paramount. Their input is knowledge of the finan­ cial resources available to the golf club, the long range plan or goal for the golf course regarding the property and the thinking of the members and players regarding the desired quality and status of the golf course. The owner's input might come from the private club Board of Directors or Greens Committee. With a municipal club, it might be the parks depart­ ment, golf commission, mayor, or other city official. In some cases, the individual club owner or group of owners is the one involved in the design/installation process representing the ownership interest. At any rate, the owner's input is important early in the project and repeated conferences are necessary to coordinate the design with the owner's goals. Golf Course Superintendent . . . The golf course superintendent provides his/her input in knowledge of the climate, soils, turf, cultural practices required, skill level and availability of labor and water required for the level of course maintenance selected. The superintendent is the coordinator of all those providing the inputs to the sys­ tem design. Without an aggressive superintendent, the design/installation process will not produce the best system.

Study cites golf’s environmental priorities A new research report confirms that golf course superintendents consider environ­ mental safety to hen an extremely important priority in maintaining their courses. A nationwide study by the Cento for Golf Course Management (GCCM) con­ cludes that superintendents are "very concerned about choosing maintenance practices that will not negatively affect the environment." When asked to rate their level of concern about the environment when making maintenance decisions, responses from superintendents averaged 6.27 on a 7-point scale, where 7 repre­ sented the highest level of concern. When asked to rank special areas of concern, superintendents gave groundwater protection the highest priority. Notifying the public of chemical applications, water-use restrictions, and regulations on underground storage tanks and hazard com­ munication were also cited as priority concerns. "This is strong evidence that our members are fully committed to doing their jobs in an ecologically responsible manner," said John M. Schilling, the executive direc­ tor of GCSAA. He added that "the study shows clearly that golf course superinten­ dents are very well-informed about our nation's environmental priorities. The study, Buying Habits of Golf Course Superintendents, was conducted by CGCM as part of a major new research effort to determine trends in golf course maintenance and to track the purchasing and budgeting practices of superintendents. CGCM, a recently created subsidiary of GCSAA, performs market research to docu­ ment facts and trends in the maintenance and management of golf courses. Several prepared reports are now available through the Center and companies can custom design reports on individual research topics. According to Schilling, several of the industry's leading corporations have already purchased copies of the Buying Habits report, which is available through CGCM for $945. The Maintenance Trends Report, which documents the opinions of certi­ fied golf course superintendents on five key maintenance practices and industry trends, can be obtained for $ 100. Companies or golf facilities interested in the studies can contact CGCM at 800/472-7878. GCSAA DISEASE IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL SEMINAR Co-Hosted by CAGCS January 14 & 15, 1991 Treadway Hotel Cromwell, CT This two-day educational seminar in applied turfgrass pathology will cover disease fungi, nematodes, viruses, bacte­ ria and other factors affecting plant health.

Daconil 2787 By K. P. Tyler, GCSA of New England, Inc. Braver referred to Daconil as a herbicide.) The following is a statement put out by the manufacturer of Daconil 2787, Fermenta Plant Protection Co., Mentor, OH. Several years ago, CBS television network ran a story on "60 Minutes" about the death of Navy Lt. George Prior. In that story, they claimed the fungicide Daconil 2787 caused his death after playing golf on a course sprayed with the product. Recently, CBS Nightly News referred to the case again in a segment on lawn care and continued to claim Daconil 2787 killed Lt. Prior. (During this segment, CBS reporter Rita Daconil 2787 STATEMENT Prior v. Diamond Shamrock Lawsuit: Listed below are the facts concerning the 1982 death of Navy Lt George Prior: On May 9, 1988, the TRIAL COURT in the case entered judgment IN FAVOR of the defendants. These are the facts: • Lt. Prior died from Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) which was caused by a viral infection. • A review of ALL medical writings regarding TEN con­ firmed that Daconil 2787 has never been associated with the disease. . Daconil 2787 has been used on golf course turf for more than 18 years with over THREE BILLION rounds of golf being played without any reported incidents of TEN. SODCO, INC.

NEWS FROM luPl GCSAA HEADQUARTERS Connecticut Superintendent Receives GCSAA Certification Barry Anes, Superintendent of Candlewood Valley Country Club, has been designated a Certified Golf Course Superintendent (CGCS) by the GCSAA. Anes has been superintendent of the New Milford, Connec­ ticut, course since 1984. To become certified, a candidate must have five years' ex­ perience as a golf course superintendent and be employed in that capacity. The candidate must pass a rigorous six-hour examination covering the rules of golf, turfgrass manage­ CAMPBELL TO RECEIVE 1991 OLD TOM MORRIS AWARD William C. Campbell, former president of the United States Golf Association (USGA), has been selected to receive the Old Tom Morris Award from the GCSAA. Campbell will be presented the award during the closing banquet of the 62nd GCSAA International Golf Course Con­ ference and Show on February 12,1991 in Las Vegas, Nev. GCSAA President Gerald L. Faubel, CGCS, said, "No one has given more to the game of golf than Mr. Campbell. He has dedicated his life to promoting the game and has demon­ strated many times his support for the golf course superinten­ dent. GCSAA is honored to present this award to Mr. Campbell." In addition to being a USGA past president (1982-83), Campbell also served as captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, Scotland. Campbell is only the third American to be named captain, joining Francis Ouimet and Joseph Dey. He is the only American to have held both TEE AND GREEN SOD, INC.

Also, an on-site inspection of Anes* golf course operation was conducted by two currently certified superin­ tendents: Peter Burnham, CGCS, of Southbury, CT, and Ray Beaudry, CGCS, of Fairfield, CT. GCSAA instituted the certification program in 1971 to recognize outstanding and progressive superintendents. More than 1,100 active GCSAA members currently hold "CGCS" status. the presidency of the USGA and the captaincy of the R & A. During his USGA term, Campbell also presided as Joint Chairman of the World Amateur Golf Council. In 1985, Campbell was honored by GCSAA with a Dis­ tinguished Service Award. In 1990, he was elected to the PGA World Golf Hall of Fame. He was the recipient of the National Golf Foundation's Herb Graffis Award in 1989 for his efforts in preserving the true spirit of the game. One of America's most distinguished amateur golfers, Campbell has won more than 30 golf titles, including the 1964 U. S. Amateur Championship. He has been a mem­ ber of the Walker Cup team eight times, never losing a singles match. In 1965, Campbell was awarded the USGA's highest honor, the Bobby Jones Award, for his sportsmanship in golf. Campbell received the William Richardson Award from the Golf Writers Association of America In 1983 for his outstanding contributions to golf. In his nomination for the Old Tom Morris award, Camp­ bell was also cited for his efforts to tighten the bonds between the USGA and GCSAA. During his presidency, the USGA launched major fund-raising campaigns to finance the development of Golf House and the establish­ ment of test facilities for clubs and balls, as well as a long­ term program for turfgrass research, notably in the area of drought-tolerant grasses. GCSAA established the Old Tom Morris Award in 1982 to recognize individuals who have made outstanding life­ time contributions to the game. The award is named in memory of Old Tom Morris, greenkeeper and golf profes­ sional at the R & A, clubmaker, ballmaker, four-time British Open champion, and golf course architect. Campbell joins Arnold Palmer, Bob Hope, Gerald Ford, Patty Berg, Robert Trent Jones, Sr., Gene Sarazen, Chi Chi Rodriguez and Sherwood Moore, CGCS, as recipients of the coveted Old Tom Morris honor. Golf Course Irrigation Systems (continued from page 2) Without an aggressive superintendent, the designlinstallation process will not produce the best system. Engineer/Designer . . . This input requires knowledge of hydraulics, irrigation system materials, sprinkler head performance, automatic control systems, pump theory, pumping plant control and computer analysis of the pipe grid and computer scheduling. The engineer/designer provides perfor­ mance analysis, plans, specifications, bidding and contract documents, contract administration, and field and final inspec­ tion. Bids and contracts are based on what the course wants and needs in an irriga­ tion system, and not on what particular products the material supplier is han­ dling. The bidding procedure then pro­ vides for the contractors and material suppliers to be evaluated fairly. Computer analysis by the engineer/ designer of each piping branch allows the "what if game to be played. "What if a pipe size is reduced or enlarged? What impact will this have on performance and cost? These analyses can be done manually, but no one today has the time. When cost per pound of pipe and cost per kwh of electricity is inserted into the computer program, the lowest cost size of pipe will emerge based on amortiza­ tion and pumping hours per year. These parameters may be changed to suit a particular golf course, but an effi­ cient design will result Computer programs also show a pat­ tern of distribution plots for the actual sprinkler stakeout of greens, tees and fairways. The sprinkler layout can be changed as required to suit the superin­ tendent's estimate of water required for that particular area. This data allows the superintendent better control of watering during chang­ ing weather conditions. Most states do not require that a regis­ tered engineer make the irrigation design. Designers provide the great majority of these services. To raise the level of expertise in the industry, the Irrigation Association (IA) has established the Certified Irrigation Designer (CID) Program. Any irriga­ tion designer showing the CID seal has demonstrated that he/she has passed a basic test in at least the following areas of knowledge: hydraulics, electricity, soil/water/plant relationships, irrigation scheduling, irrigation terminology and pumps. Additional testing is required in the specialty of golf course irriga­ tion. There is no guarantee that the suc­ cessful completion of the tests makes the designer an expert, but it assures the client that the designer has at least a minimum level of competence. CID's may work for irrigation suppli­ ers or contractors and belong to the Contractor or Distributor Division of the IA. Some CID's are in private prac­ tice and belong to the Professional Consultants Division of the IA. Professional Consulting Engineers/ CID's are employed and paid by the golf course owner and thus work in the owner's interest. CID's in the employ of the distributor or contractor cannot spend the approximate 300 staff hours required for a professional irrigation design and thus their plans and specifi­ cations are quite often standard ones not tailored to that particular golf course. The cost of hiring a Professional Engineer/Designer is minimal compared to the cost of the installation and this cost can generally be recovered several times over through a more efficient irrigation system and lowered bids. Equipment Distributor . . . Many people believe that selection of an equipment distributor is more impor­ tant than selecting a brand of equip­ ment. The distributor should be located in the trading area where the golf course is located and provide on time delivery of the material and equipment at reasona­ ble prices. They should provide good service during the guarantee period, and must stock parts for equipment sold. A - 8 - good distributor provides replacement parts and is a liaison with the various manufacturers. Today, the distributor often substi­ tutes for the Engineer/Designer. This leaves the owner without technical or administrative representation. The burden of evaluating the design, specification, and installation is then placed upon the golf course superinten­ dent The superintendent is generally not trained thoroughly enough to replace the Engineer/Designer function in the modem complex irrigation system process. Contractor . . . The contractor's job is to furnish the manpower, equipment and materials for the irrigation system installation and coordinate these into a finished installa­ tion that is commercially perfect It is particularly important that the contractor and his employees have the skills necessary to provide high quality workmanship. A contractor is often able to suggest cost saving installation ideas. The plans and specifications should be reviewed with the successful contrac­ tor so his ideas for increasing the sys­ tem’s efficiency and reducing cost may be evaluated. A contractor must be able to provide fast warranty service during the guaran­ tee period. Summary When any of the five inputs required for a golf course irrigation system de- sign/installation team are missing, the success of the project is jeopardized. The golf course superintendent and the engineer/designer should be the co­ ordinators of this process and make sure that all five groups are represented.
