What’s Inside? GCSAA News Grass Catcher UST Regulations 3 5 7 President’s Message Steven L. Rackliffe, CGCS Firstly, let me thank you for electing me to serve the Association as President. I have been a member of the Asso­ ciation since 1982 and for the past ten years, I have had the opportunity to learn and grow through communicating and sharing experiences with fellow members. However, every now and then I hear a member criticize the Association for not "doing anything" for its members. Com­ ments such as these irritate me to no end. Those who feel this way should take a closer look at the Association and its accomplishments over the years - all of which have been done by hard-working volunteers. We are a small organization with a large voice ... a voice which is heard on both the national and state levels. CAGCS has had three of its own past presidents obtain the Presidential post of GCSAA (Charlie Baskin, Robert Oster­ man and Stephen Cadenelli). I am sure that ideas spawned and values learned as they held office in CAGCS helped guide them in their very successful terms as President of GCSAA. Also on the national level, many of our members have been appointed to committees to help guide the future of GCSAA on issues such as education, membership and the environ­ ment. On the state level, CAGCS played an intregal part in the formation of the nationally recognized organization of Professional Pesticide Users of Connecticut (PPUC) which has allowed us, as turf managers, to carry out our business under workable and rational laws. CAGCS has provided thousands of dollars in scholarships to its members, their families and their employees and has also donated thousands of dollars toward research projects which benefit our profession. It has offered and will continue to offer educational programs to its members, such as speak­ ers at our monthly meetings, January Seminars, GCSAA seminar, and last but not least, the Golf Summit (held in conjunction with the CT State Golf Association, CT State PGA, CT Managers' Association, and CAGCS on March 14) which was an enormous success. The saying goes, "A chain is as strong as its weakest link." Need I say more? Let's strive to unite!!! There are many things CAGCS means to each and every one of us. The most important thing it means to me is the friendships I have made and continue to make. I know if I have a question or a problem that there are 250+ fellow members I can call for help or advice. CAGCS is truly a great organization. I urge all of its members to get involved and support CAGCS and your fellow members. A trip to The Masters John F. Streeter, CGCS The alarm rang at 5:00 a.m. April 9, 1992. At that time I knew a dream was becoming a reality. For all of my adult life and most of my earlier years, the Masters, just like the World Series, Final Four, the Super Bowl, was always an intrigal sporting event in my life. I had known for quite some time that this journey would be taking place; but, not until I pulled onto the high­ way with my colleagues, was I sure Augusta was soon to be seen with my own eyes. The events of the day uncurled in an easy and fashionable manner. We boarded our plane and took off on time. Yeah... American Airlines!!! Sometime that afternoon we arrived at the gates of Augusta. To my sur­ prise, the checkin for superintendents was both convenient and hospitable. Now it was time to enter probably the greatest theatre golf has to offer. We passed the famous score board and walked onto the luscious and mani­ cured rolling terrain of Augusta National. We had arrived!!! Being in awe for the first couple hours at Augusta was my state of mind. The curling putts and the famous PGA pros did not turn my attention away from the things which contribute to this majestic golf course ... Wall-to-wall closely cropped, pure, rye grass adorned by meticulously land­ scaped, non-turf areas ... Undulating and slick bent greens, white sanded bunkers groomed to perfection. The beauty of Augusta cannot be captured through the television screen. Dean Beaman thought he discovered spectator golf; but, in my opinion, Augusta National is the frontrunner. Acres and acres of rolling terrain pro­ vide ample area for spectator golf. What a privilege our National Asso­ ciation has given to its Gold Card Members in reference to being able to attend such an event. Tickets are liter­ ally non-existant, and yet, superinten­ dents are given the opportunity to attend this international event. Any Class A member who has not consid­ ered taking advantage of this privilege should strongly consider doing so at some time. Throughout the next few days of the tournament, after many hours and miles, we managed to experience every inch of this majestic place. As we trucked from hole to hole, I was deter­ mined to find a flaw. It was not to be. I have never seen a golf course that was hosting an event such as this, or I was determined to find a flaw... It was not to be. for that matter any event of competi­ tion, and not have one single area marked with that dreaded white paint to indicate "free lift". To the average "Joe" this may not even enter his mind, but being in this business of golf course management, can you imangine having your course so perfect that not one can of white paint has to be put into battle. Not a stone, a pot hole or a weed was to be seen any­ where within Augusta's confines. "Oh what can be accomplished with "carte blanche!!!". Truly, the conditions must be con­ tributed equally to the maticulous and comprehensive managment procedures practiced by the Superintendent, and of course, the no-holds barred attitude from the architects and contractors who were responsible for this magnificent creation. Thanks to Mother Nature on Satur­ - 2 - day, we had the chance to spend the rain delay at the maintenance facility. Everything is a secert at Augusta. From the stimp reading to the heights of cut on the various mowing appara­ tus. However we did manage to extract some information from the head mechanic, who so graciously welcomed us to stay during the inclimate weather. The crew for the week of the Masters numbers 82 people, who are scheduled from 6 a.m. 'till 7 p.m. Every crew member is scheduled for a paticular task every hour of the day every day of the tournament. There are crews for stimp meter reading to litter removal. Fair­ ways are cut with 12 mowers in 1 1/2 hours (a record set on Thursday night). We counted 20 hand blowers, and got to watch the squeegy crew attack the water logged greens after heavy rains on Saturday. Yes, the visit to the mainte­ nance area was one of the fond memo­ ries I took home. After the rains had ceased on Satur­ day, our last day, we found ourselves touring the infamous Amen Comer one more time. As the sun set on Augusta National, and the last players marked their balls for resumption of play on Sunday, we found ourselves literally alone with the silence and beauty of this golf course. Our last position had been at the 17th green, so the most obvious route of travel was to proceed to #18 and out of the gates. As we approached, I thought to myself, "Of all the history synonymous with 18 at Augusta, what an experience it must be to walk 18 at Augusta". It doesn't mat­ ter if you're 10 over or 10 under - the reception is consistent. After a brief conference, my colleauges and I decided that this would an oppurtunity for four Superintendents to walk up the middle of #18. The officials had left; this was our last day at The Masters; and all that was left to do was to make the walk. There were no cheers to be heard as we approached the green, but I felt a cheer inside that I will never forget. Well sports fans, that is the long and short of a trip to Augusta. It was an ex­ perience that I will surely encounter again. % GCSAA CONFERENCE & SHOW A BIO SUCCESS More than 15,000 superintendents, turfgrass professionals and suppliers to the golf course industry attended the 1992 International Golf Course Confer­ ence and Show recently in New Orleans, LA. The conference and show exposed at­ tendees to a wide variety of continuing educational programs and the latest in golf course management products and services. A record 593 exhibitors showcased their products and services during the three day trade show at the New Orleans Convention Center.

Cur­ rently, only GCSAA chapter delegates are allowed to vote. . The Board of Directors will be au­ thorized to set annual dues, currently set by the membership, for all mem­ bership classes. • The Board will have authority to change membership classification requirements, presently codified in the bylaws and requiring a two-thirds majority to change. Other bylaws changes would allow amendments to the Association s stated purpose and definition of golf course superintendent, add membership classes (including non-superintendents), change nominating committee proce­ dures, and change the vote required to amend bylaws from two-thirds to a simple majority. GCSAA President Williamn R. Roberts, CGCS, presented the pro­ posed bylaws changes recommended by the Organizational Study Committee, to voting delegates at the Association s recent conference and show in New Or- Roberts stressed that the Association is a "business in a competitive busi­ ness environment. It is our aim to es­ tablish organizational parameters that allow for a maximum degree of com­ petitiveness in a dynamic business en­ vironment." Noting that the bylaws had stood since the founding of the bition covered nearly 172,000 square feet Nearly 1,600 registrants represented 44 foreign countries at the conference, which offered 52 continuing education­ al seminars, including one for the in­ ternational attendees. Overall, nearly 2,700 participants attended classes on environmental and water resource man­ agement, course design and more. Terry Bradshaw, National Football League Hall of Fame quarterback, delivered the keynote speech at the opening session. A standing-room-only crowd of 2,200 heard Jay Feldman, National Co­ ordinator of the National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides; Victor Kimm, Deputy Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agen­ cy, and John Stossel, news analyst and environmental reporter for ABC s 20- 20" program, debate the pros and cons of pesticide use at the Environmental General Session. William R. Roberts, CGCS, was elected GCSAA President for 1992-93 at the Association's annual meeting. Randy Nichols, CGCS, was elected Vice President, and Joseph G. Baidy, CGCS, was appointed Secretary/ Treasurer. Tom Watson, professional golf leg­ end, was presented with GCSAAs highest honor, the Old Tom Morris Award, at the gala closing banquet fol­ lowing the meeting. Recording artist, Kenny Rogers provided the evening s entertainment following the banquet The 64th International Golf Course Conference and Show will be held Jan­ uary 23-30, 1993, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. - 3 - GCSAA, continued Personnel management guidelines offered in GCSAA model handbook A sample handbook for setting policy, writing job descriptions, devel­ oping pay scales, and handling other golf course personnel management issues, is now available from GCSAA. The handbook, available to both members and non-members, was devel­ oped to assist golf course superinten­ dents in developing their own personnel manuals, tailored to their club's existing personnel policies. Topics covered include employment status, work schedules and pay, atten­ dance, employee conduct, performance reviews, standards of conduct, employee benefits, guidelines, employ­ ment laws and job descriptions. Sample general duties and job requirements are listed for the assistant Bylaws changes, continued from page 3 Association, "one must ask whether a set of operational parameters that were initiated in 1926 haven't become (instead) operational limitations that restrict our ability to realize our full potential impact on the industry." Roberts said any feat of decision­ making being concentrated in the hands of too few is "unfounded." "The mem­ bership retains final authority over direction of Association affairs through the election process," he noted. Members of the committee which made the recommendations were: Roberts, Randall P. Zidik, CGCS; Joseph M. Hahn, CGCS; Dennis J. Orsbom; Charles G. Baskin, CGCS; Michael K. Fabrizio, CGCS; and Randolph Russell. When You Can’t Afford To Take a Mulligan You have enough trouble keeping your operation going forward without having to worry about your turfgrass showing signs of stress. It’s not like you can take a mulligan and start again, or request that club members play somewhere else for a week or two while you straighten things out. When your reputation as a turf specialist is on the line (as well as your sanity) make sure you include ironROOTS® Concentrate and NoburN™ Natural Wetting Agent in your treatment programs. So next time you see Bill Raus from R.F. Morse or Bob Lippman from Westchester Turf, ask them about ironROOTS® and NoburN™. Or give us a call at (203) 786-5295.

The coordinators of this historic event, representa­ tives of CSGA, CT Section PGA, CT Club Managers, and CAGCS believe it was an unqualified success, with paid reg­ istration numbering over 200 people. To our knowledge, it is the first time every major golf organization within the stale cooperated in jointly sponsoring a seminar of this type. The purpose of the Summit was to bring together an informed group of golf experts to share their views and advice for the benefit of those in attendance. The program was targeted for club officials, committee chairpcople, managers, golf course superintendents, professionals, and other individu­ als with a special interest in golf in Connecticut. Each golf organization contributed speakers to serve as workshop leaders in concurrently run seminars. The CAGCS sponsored workshop, Golf Courses and the Environmental Challenge, was well attended. Excellent presentations were given by Don Kily and Steve Cadenelli. A significant amount of credit is due Russ Palmer, Execu­ tive Director of CSGA and Chairman of the Summit Coordi­ nators. His enthusiasm and energy for this project (which was his concept) never wavered through the many months of meetings prior to the Summit. I would like to thank the Class A members of CAGCS and their club officials who supported this event and a special thanks to Steve Rackliffe for his assistance during the plan­ ning stages and throughout the event. I am anticipating an even more successful 1993 Connecticut Golf Summit. On behalf of the Board of Governors and members of CAGCS, a special thanks to past president, Tom Watroba, for being a forerunner among the Association leaders in orga­ nizing this event. CAGCS Invitational June 1, 1992 To all Class A CAGCS Members...Mark aside June 1st on your calendar and come and enjoy the day with your club officials at the CAGCS Invitational. As in the past, this day promises to be the premier event of our Association. The opportunity for us to join in a day of professionalism and comradery with our club officials is one not to pass up. This year's Invitational will be held at the Country Club of Waterbury hosted by Charles Baskin, CGCS. A full decor of food and beverages, favors, and gross and net prizes will garnish the day's activities. Look for your invitation and be sure to make every effort to attend. ■■■ - 6 - Hie Polv-Sdiffcrence: a unique multiple coating system. Each Poly-S™ particle is manufactured using a com­ puter-controlled, two-tier coat­ ing process that allows nutri­ ents to be released steadily and safely by controlled dif­ fusion through the polymer coating. Thus the rate of re­ lease can be regulated over a pre­ programmed period of time over a wide variety of weather conditions — providing higher nitrogen analysis than SCU products with less sensitivity to temperature than fertilizers coated with poly­ mer only. Itis the most efficient—and cost-effective — turf fertilizer technology ever developed. For more information about Poly-S fertilizers and their performance advantages, con tact your Scott Tech Rep.
