SUPERINTENDENT

OF THE YEAR
By Thomas Watroba

At the annual January Seminar, Stephen G. Cadenelli, CGCS, 
was presented with the 1991 Superintendent of the Year Award. 
Since this award is bestowed upon the recipient by a vote of his 
peers it has become our organization's most prestigious honor 
It is given annually to an active Class A or Life member who 
has held that classification for a minimum of five years. Ihe 
award is presented to an individual who has shown exemplary 
skills in maintaining a golf facility and has devoted his or her 
time and effort to benefit fellow superintendents, and local and
national golf associations. 
,

This year's award winner began his career in educatio . 

. 

with a Bachelor’s Degree in education from Northern Michigan 
University, he was prepared to embark upon a career as an educa­
tor A twist of fate led him to golf course management He 
became superintendent of Greenock Country Club in Lee, Massa­
chusetts, in 1973. That same year, he graduated from the Winter 
School for Turf Management at the University of Massachusetts 
and joined the Golf Course Superintendents' Association of
^0 1974 he joined the Connecticut Association of Golf Course
Superintendents shortly after becoming superintendent at Pequot
Golf Club in Stonington, CT. His next move was to the Coun­
try Club of New Canaan in New Canaan, CT, where he served as 
superintendent for eight years. It was during this periodI he 
became active in CAGCS, serving as Director, Newsletter Edi­
tor, Vice President, and ultimately as President in 1980 and

His commitment to the betterment of our profession intensi­
fied and he became seriously involved with GCSAA. He began
serving on committees which ultimately led to his winning a
Director's position with GCSAA.

In 1985, he left Connecticut to experience the birth of a new 
golf course, the now highly renowned Metedeconk National Golf 
Course in Jackson, NJ. His rise through the national chairs of 
GCSAA continued, serving as Chairman of the Education, 
Finance, Communication and Public Relations Committees; the 
Secretary/Treasurer position and Vice President. He has now 
reached the pinnacle ... President of GCSAA.

We can think of no individual who is more deserving or who 
better represents the essence and spirit of this award than this

is’ompleasure to announce the 1991 Superintendent of the

Year ... Stephen G. Cadenelli, CGCS.

SUMMER PATCH

( \ 

Dr. Bruce Clark

Specialist in Turfgrass Pathology

Rutgers University

Summer patch was first recognized as 
a disease of cool-season turfgrasses in 
1984. Prior to that time, it was an 
unidentified component of Fusarium 
blight. Summer patch has been report­
ed in North American on Festuca 
glauca. F„ longifolia. F. ovina. F. ru- 
bra. Poa annua, and P. pratensis. The 
causal agent has also been isolated on 
occasion from Agrostis palustris and 
Lolium perenne. The disease generally 
occurs on turf that has been established 
for more than two years.

Symptoms

On P. pratensis,. symptoms first 
appear in early summer as small, circu­
lar patches of wilted turf 3 to 8 cm in 
diameter. Patches may enlarge to more 
than 60 cm, but generally remain in 
the 6 to 30 cm range. Affected leaves 
rapidly fade from a grayish-green to a 
light straw color during sustained hot 
weather (daytime highs 28-35C and 
nighttime temperatures exceeding 
20C). Irregular patches, rings, frog-eye 
and crescent patterns may also develop 
and coalesce into large areas of blighted 
turf.

In mixed stands of Agrostis and Poa 
maintained under putting green condi­
tions, patches are circular and range 
from 3 to 30 cm in diameter. As P. 
annua yellows and declines, Agrostis 
spp. frequently recolonize patch cen­
ters. On fairways and lawns, rings or 
frog-eye patches may not develop. In 
such cases, symptoms may appear as 
diffuse patterns of yellowed or straw 
colored turf that are easily confused 
with heat stress, insect damage, or oth­
er diseases. Infected roots, rhizomes, 
and crowns turn brown as they are 
killed. Examination of these tissues 
typically reveals a network of sparse, 
dark brown to black, ectotrophic 
hyphae from which hyaline penetration

hyphae invade the underlying vascular 
tissue. In the latter stages of infection, 
vascular discoloration and cortical rot 
are extensive. No fruiting structures 
have been observed under field condi­
tions.

Causal Agent

Magnaporthe poae Landschoot and 
Jackson, the causal agent of summer 
patch, is a newly described heterothallic 
fungus whose anamorph had previously 
been misidentified as Phialophora gra- 
minicola (Deacon) J. Walker. The fun­
gus forms dark brown to black, septate, 
ectotrophic runner hyphae on roots, 
crowns, and rhizomes of turfgrass 
hosts. Perithecia, which have only 
been observed in culture, are black, 
spherical (252-556 um in diameter), 
and have long (357-756 um) cylindrical 
necks. Asci are unitunicate, cylindrical 
(63 x 108 um long), and bear eight as- 
cospores. At maturity, ascospores are 
23-42 um long and 4-6 um in diameter. 
Ascospores are tri-septate with two 
intermediate dark brown cells and two 
hyaline terminal cells.

On half strength PDA, mycelial 
growth is appressed, olive brown to 
black, and curls back towards the center 
of the colony. Phialospores of the ana­
morph are hyaline, 3-8 um long, and 
1-3 um wide. Hyphopodia are globose, 
dark brown, and occasionally found in 
nature on stem bases and roots.

Disease Cycle

The pathogen is believed to survive 
the winter months as mycelia in previ­
ously colonized plant debris and in per­
ennial host tissue. Colonization and 
suppression of root growth has been 
shown to occur between 21 and 35C 
under controlled environmental condi­
tions, with optimum disease develop

Annual Christmas Party
A fine display of hospitality by the 
Woodbridge Country Club was wit­
nessed by all who attended our annual 
Christmas Party on December 13th. 
From the accommodations at the luxu­
ry Quality Inn to the elegantly decorat­
ed dining room and the encore of a fine 
meal proved to be the right ingredients 
for an enjoyable evening spent with our 
colleagues on this joyous holiday.

All who attended were pleased with 
the festivities and possibly our Social 
Committee will make this an annual 
stop for our Christmas party.

Mike Wallace, CGCS, has
been selected to handle the voting duties 
for our Association at the annual 
GCSAA meeting which will take place 
on February 17th in New Orleans, LA.

Mike is no stranger to the political 
wars which encompass the duties of a 
voting delegate. The Board is confident 
that Mike will serve our Association in 
our best interest.

Rumor has it that this may be the last 
year for voting delegates. GCSAA is 
considering a revamping of the voting 
procedure used to elect our officers and 
directors by replacing the voting dele­
gate procedure with the individual vote.

Annual

January Seminar

The CAGCS Annual Winter Seminar 
was once again heralded a success. Over 
120 members attended the very 
informative seminar held at the Ramada 
Inn in Meriden, CT.

Heading up the program was Dr. 
Bruce Clark from Rutgers University 
with his patch disease update. Rutgers 
was one of the prime innovators in dis­
covering causes and controls for this dis­
ease complex. His information updated 
us with the latest findings of preventa­
tive and curative measures. A synopsis 
of his findings can be read in this issue 
of the Clippings beginning on page 2.

Dr. Frank Rossi from Michigan State 
entertained us with his presentation on 
risk management, followed by Dr. 
Cooper from the University of Mass- 
sachusetts who covered the creeping

After a hearty poolside lunch, Wil­
liam Roberts, CGCS, Vice President of 
the GCSAA, updated us with informa­
tion regarding GCSAA's role in the 
environmental issues which face all 
golf course superintendents.

Oswald Inglese, Sanitary Engineer, 
briefed us on the Aquifier Protection 
Program which is being prepared for 
legislative review.

Rounding out the seminar was our 
perennial speaker from PPUC, Don 
Kiley. As usual, Don gave us all of 
the ins and outs concerning the political 
climate and when and where it may 
affect us as golf course superintendents.
Once again Dave Stimson and his 
committee did a fine job of organizing 
this annual event.

In Memoriam

John J. Perry, age 67, died June 
24, 1991, after a prolonged illness. 
John was a Class A-Life member of 
CAGCS of which he was a Director for 
over 12 years, and President in 1966 
and 1967. A member since 1955, John 
had served on just about every commit­
tee in our state organization.

In 1980, he retired from the Country 
Club of Farmington after 20 years. 
John also was the superintendent at the 
New London Country Club in Water­
ford, CT, and Pro/Superintendent at 
Purpoodock Club of Cape Elizabeth, 
Maine, before going to New London in 
1963.
John was a member of GCSAA for 
over 30 years. He was our first voting 
delegate for Connecticut and served on 
both the Advising Commitee and 
Nominating Committee, as well as 
making national presentations at the 
National Education Conferences.

Once again, CAGCS, in conjunction 
with the New Jersey Golf Course Su­
perintendents, will host a hospitality 
suite on Friday and Saturday nights 
during the GCSAA Convention at the 
New Orleans Hilton.

All members and guests are welcome 
to pop in to say "hello". The room 
number of the suite will be posted in 
the hotel lobby on Friday afternoon.

ment at 28C. In the field, infection 
commences in late spring when soil 
temperatures stabilize between 18 and 
20C. The fungus moves from plant to 
plant by growing along roots and rhi­
zomes. Symptoms develop during hot 
(30-35C), rainy weather or when high 
temperatures follow periods of heavy 
rainfall. Patches may continue to 
expand through the summer and early 
autumn and are often still evident the 
following growing season. Summer 
patch may be spread by aerification and 
dethatching equipment as well as by 
the transport of infected sod.
Epidemiology

Summer patch is most severe during 
hot, wet years and on poorly drained, 
compacted sites. Although heat stress 
plays an important role in disease 
development, drought stress is usually 
not a predisposing factor. Under ideal 
conditions, the causal agent can spread 
along roots, crowns, and stem tissue at 
a rate of up to 3 cm per week. Symp­

tom expression has been shown to 
increase with the use of arsenate herbi­
cides, quick release nitrogen fertilizers, 
and several contact fungicides. The dis­
ease is frequently stimulated when turf­
grass is maintained under conditions of 
low mowing height and frequent, light 
irrigation. Soil pH, a major factor in 
the development of take-all patch, 
apparently does not affect the incidence 
of summer patch.

Control

Because summer patch is a root dis­
ease, cultural practices that alleviate 
stress and promote root development 
will reduce disease severity. Since low 
mowing enhances symptom expres­
sion, avoid mowing turf below recom­
mended heights, particularly during per­
iods of heat stress. In the Northeast, 
symptoms are less apparent when 
lawns are maintained at a height of 5 to 
7 cm and golf greens and fairways are 
cut at or above 0.156 cm and 0.375 
cm, respectively. Fertilize turf with a 
slow release nitrogen source such as 
sulfur-coated urea. Irrigate deeply and 
as infrequently as possible without

inducing drought stress. Syringing to 
reduce heat stress, aerification, improv­
ing drainage, and reducing compaction 
are other practices that will aid in the 
control of this disease.

Overseeding affected areas with L. 
perenne. F. arundinacea. or resistant 
cultivars of P. pratensis represent one 
of the most cost-effective means of 
controlling summer patch. Use 
mixtures or blends of resistant turf cul­
tivars or species for best results. Con­
version of golf areas from Poa to 
Agrostis spp. will also reduce disease 
incidence.

Fungicides are available that can 
effectively control summer patch. Ap­
plications should commence on a 
preventative basis in late spring or 
early summer when soil temperatures 
stabilize between 18 and 20C. Sys­
temic fungicides have proven to be 
most effective but must be applied at 
high label rates and repeated two to 
three times at 21-28 day intervals. 
Efficacy is enhanced when products are 
applied in at least 1600 L of water per 
hectare. Certain contact fungicides may 
stimulate symptom severity when used 
repeatedly at high rates.
