CONNECTICUT ASSOCIATION OF GOLF COURSE SUPERINTENDENTS/ r CONNECTICUT CLIPPINGS Volume 27, No. 4 October, 1993 President's Message John F. Streeter, CGCS CAGCS President On September 25 and 26, a meeting of GCSAA chapter affiliate representa­ tives took place at our national head- quaters in Lawerence, KS. As your President and this year's voting dele­ gate, I eagerly volunteered to represent our association. Of the 130 reps invited, a total of 65 chapter reps were in attendance. A few intriguing rea­ sons inspired me to take an interest in this first of its kind meeting with GCSAA officals. Interestingly enough, at this very same time last year, the past adminis­ tration was campaigning via their by­ law proposals to eliminate the delegate voting system that our association has enjoyed by its side throughout all of the past years of growth and prosperi­ ty. Now, here we have an administra­ tion that is reaching out to the dele­ gate nation for input and be a part in the direction of our beloved associa­ tion . Democracy has arrived - keeping in mind that our bylaws still allow indiviual voting rights, I believe that our particular group is better served with delegate voting. Elimination of delegates or chapter reps would disinte- ( continued on page 2) How to prepare for a job interview by Lou Rudinski, Vice President, Mid-Atlantic Golf Course Superintendents Association With all of the recent job openings, the following article (which appeared in Turfgrass, MaUgr^ the newsletter of the MAAGCS,) seemed appropriate and timely. We have reprinted this article- with their permission. The golf course industry at present is experiencing some recovery from the slowdown of the past few years. Golf course superintendent job openings are scarce but when they occur, there is a flurry for a short time. Being prepared when the time arises will help in secur­ ing an interview. If you are an assistant going for your first superintendent interview, you've already rewritten your resume, applied to the courses that may suit your val­ ues and goals, networked with salesmen and other superintendents (hopefully the outgoing superintendent can help you), and it has finally paid off — you've landed an interview (but so do a half- dozen other hopeful applicants). There are no guarantees, but following basic interviewing guidelines can give you an advantage. One key to a good interview is to focus on the needs of the golf course doing the hiring. The golf course should share what they need from a new superintendent Then you should share your background with them. You want to help the Green Commit- tee/General Manager see how you can help get them from Point A to Point B. If you don't have certain experiences they are looking for, be honest; but, let them know you have the training to find the answers. Not all superin­ tendents have built greens, but we all know who has. State confidently that through your involvement with CAGCS you have developed a rapport with superintendents of many courses who have experienced similar direc­ tives. Listen carefully and when speaking find out what the course needs and be prepared to demonstrate how you can fill those needs. Most of the time, courses hire a superintendent not be­ cause of their skills, but because of the personality of the applicant Your (continued on page 3) President's Message (continued from page 1) f WHEN THE GROWING GETS TOUGH THE TURF KEEPS GROWING!

There are too many grass root members that would not participate in voting exercises that are key to our association's direction and operation and therefore creating 8ms©g> resentation. I, for one, applaud the efforts of our present administration to communicate and encourage input from die ranks via the chapter reps. Now, on to the meeting. All GCSAA board members were present and available for questions and answers. President Randy Nichols began the session by bringing forth the present state of GCSAA affairs, together with the intrigal parts of the Anderson study which was implemented to examine management and operational procedures at GCSAA headquarters. Many of us may summise that the results of this study related to the resig­ nations of our two senior management people, John Schilling and Diana Greene. This may be so. In any case, it is time to put all the dirty laundry behind, pick up our bats and gloves, and return to the playing field. The Anderson study revealed some problems relating to the management style practiced at GCSAA. Without getting into every detail, I will tell you that of the 25 employees that were interviewed, there were many common denominators, in there opinions, of the management style at GCSAA. To mention a few, non-equal treatment CAGCS Board of Directors President JOHN F. STREETER, CGCS Woodbridge Country Club Vice President PETER R.

Employee policies were not enforced equally, and job assignments were con­ fusing, all leading to low morale due to the dictorial management style being practiced. Our board is in the middle of hiring new management personnel that will hopefully continue to operate GCSAA affairs with the integrity and dedication that has helped to make this a great association. Also discussed at this meeting were some proposed bylaws that will be brought to the table once again this year at the annual meeting in Dallas. Unlike last year’s ballot of bylaws, these are separated into their own cate­ gories and not lumped with other trivial ones which made decisions con­ fusing. The reps at this meeting reviewed each proposal together with Chairman Joe Baidy and a back and forth dialogue was encouraged. The proceedings were very open in their na­ ture and most of the sound ideas that were communicated to the board will be implemented in the writing of these bylaws. Some of the changes which will (continued on page 3) Connecticut Clippings is an official publication of the Connecticut Association of Golf Course Superintendents. Newsletter Corrmittee John F.

Emphasize the teamwork ethic you will bring with you toward the golf professional and the clubhouse staff. An interview is really a conver­ sation about whether there is going to be a perfect match all the way around. Learn how to market yourself so as to help the officials conducting the inter­ view. Make a list and be able to say you are creative, intelligent, organized, etc. Offer proof by example, give a good picture of yourself, allow your strengths to shine through. Ask questions about the important issues, i.e., budget, equipment, irriga­ tion system, direction the club is going. Do they realize the cost in­ volved? Does the budget reflect their expectations? Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day. Stress that care­ ful planning and goal setting should be prime objectives before jumping into a major project Do a dry run. Make sure your cloth­ ing is neat, clean and professional. Be sure you know where you are going even if you must drive out the day before. Review your resume, be as pre­ pared as you can so nothing stresses you out Always leave the interview on a positive note. If you don't get the job, your name could be passed on to other clubs in the area. If possible, leave with a clear-cut idea about a follow-up interview or an appraisal if you've been turned down. The apprai­ sal will help you in your next job search. It's important to communicate well with the committee since they will be assessing how well you get along with others. Maintain eye contact, listen carefully, and respond appropriately. Be positive. Don't bad-mouth a for­ mer employer. It's a small world in the golf business. President’s Message, continued result in the approval of these bylaw changes will be: • The reintroduction of additional classifications which will include our golf course staff members, club officals and golf association officials. • To enact a two-thirds majority vote at the board level on issues that may result in indebtedness to future boards of our association. • Classes AA, A, B and C dues will be decided by delegate vote at our annual meeting. All other class dues will be set by the board. • Publish the vote of delegates in Newsline. • The Secretary/Treasurer would become an elected position with two candidates running for that office. The Vice President will run unopposed. I think that because of the method used to revise these bylaws, they will be approved. I personally feel that our present board is on the right track and is encouraging our participation in the direction of GCSAA. I encourage your comments and concerns with GCSAA and will continue to keep you updated on current events in Lawrence. - 3 - Egypt Sterilized FARMS Tod Dressing WHITE MARSH, MD (410) 335*3704 1-800-899-SOIL (7(45) EGYPT FARMS EXCLUSIVE!

Schilling has resigned as chief execu­ tive officer effective January, 1994. Schilling has been with GCSAA for 15 years and has served as executive director and CEO during the past 10 years. He is leaving the association to start his own business. "John's leadership of the staff and his successful implementation of the board of directors' policies and programs have had a very positive impact on our asso­ ciation, our profession and our mem­ bers," said GCSAA President Randy Nichols, CGCS, in announcing the resignation to association membership. "It is with deep regret that I inform you that John has resigned." "The current board of directors has fully supported John and is extremely disappointed with his decision to resign," Nichols added. "However, we do respect his desires to begin his own business where his ability and skills will again be demonstrated." Diana Green, former GCSAA senior director of operations, and Robert D. Ochs, former GCSAA senior director of communications and association gen­ eral counsel, will join Schilling in his new endeavor. iKHBBlif (800) 243-7582 1 Choice of Bentgrasses Penncross • Providence • Pennlinks 3-Way Fairway Blend laBHk Pallets or Big Rolls I Washing Service Available High Fine Fescue Mix Versatile Blue-Fescue-Rye Mix Low-Cut Bh^e-Rye Available Earm Inspection Welcomed Schilling has agreed to stay on with GCSAA through January to assist the association in making a smooth transition in leader­ ship.

GCSAA's board of directors currently is conducting a nation­ wide search to locate a replacement A new fund created by the GCSAA Scholarship & Research Foundation will offer emergency financial assis­ tance to association members who are suffering personal losses resulting from natural disasters like the recent Midwest floods. "This is a significant new benefit for our members," said GCSAA President Randy Nichols, CGCS. "Superintendents have always banded together to help when disaster strikes. This fund will allow us to offer imme­ diate help to our colleagues." The GCSAA Emergency Assistant Fund is designed to provide an immedi­ ate grant of up to $250 to GCSAA members who need short-term financial help to compensate for personal losses resulting from a disaster. "It's set up with floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes in mind," said Nichols. "We want to help GCSAA members and their families cope with the per­ sonal challenges created by these human tragedies." The GCSAA board of directors voted unanimously to establish the fund with a $5,000 "seed" gift and a number of chapters are planning gifts to supple­ ment the fund. In the meantime, the GCSAA S & R Foundation is urging individuals and companies to make "one-time" gifts to build the fund. "Our goal is to raise about $20,000 for this to make it a permanent fund that carries over from year to year," said Nichols. To apply for emergency funds, mem­ bers should contact their chapter presi­ dents or call GCSAA Scholarship & Research at (800) 472-7878.

July had us down by the seashore at the beautifully manicured golf course at the Madison Country Club. In September, we journeyed to the ever- challenging layout at the Black Hall Club, and most recently in October, we had the privilege of playing the meticlous condi­ tions at Wethersfield Country Club. Host superintendents Mike Chrzanowski, Phil Neaton and Fred Bachand are to be commended for some of the purist playing conditions I have witnessed this year. All pro shop and clubhouse staffs were very gracious and served our needs admirably. On behalf of CAGCS, I wish to extend our sincere gratitude to all meeting hosts and their clubs. Attendance at all three meetings have been astounding. Registrations of 100 to 130 were the norm. With this type of participation, it is essential that all members make an effort to uphold their registration obligations. It is diffuclt enough coordinating procedures with the host club when we have timely reservations. The late registrants, the no shows and the on site registrants raise havoc with our system, a system that helps to make for a smooth, organized day for all. Congratulations to all who reserve on a timely note. As professionals, at the very least, we should all be able to to take a post card and insert it in the mail box in due time if you intend to attend. The following are the scores from these meetings.

GCSAA garnered the coveted interna­ tional management award for its suc­ cess in developing and administering a highly effective program involving all aspects of international management The program addresses items such as membership, educational conferences and seminars, trade shows, informa­ tional services, technical assistance, multi-language trade publications and many others, and is targeted at golf course superintendents in every comer of the world. The program's remarkable success has earned GCSAA one of only three International Achievement Awards giv­ en by ASAE this year. The award was presented during a ceremony in August in Minneapolis. "With a burgeoning number of inter­ national golf courses under construc­ tion or development, GCSAA took ad­ vantage of the opportunity to provide educational programs and services to international golf course management professionals," ASAE said in announc­ ing the award. "Through its efforts, such as opening an extension office in Singapore...for its Pacific Rim mem­ bers, GCSAA hopes to better service its members all over the world." Altogether, nearly 13,000 members in some 50 countries around the world take advantage of the educational pro­ grams, services and other benefits that GCSAA provides for the golf course management profession. "GCSAA is very flattered to have been chosen to receive this prestigious award. A lot of very talented and dedi­ cated people worked didilgently to achieve the successes that are being recognized. We are all very proud of these efforts on behalf of the members of GCSAA, "said John M. Schilling, GCSAA chief executive officer. "A growing number of superintendents around the world have asked us to share our knowledge with them and we obliged. We think it was the appropri­ ate thing to do and we plan to continue with and expand those activities." GCSAA was founded in 1926 to ad­ vance the art and science of golf course management through professional edu­ cation. The experience gained in 66 years of successfully developing and delivering educational programs and the commitment to providing quality edu­ cation to the superintendent/ greenkeeper put the association in the position to continue to expand educa­ tional programs in the United States and to further extend similar opportuni­ ties to superintendents/greenkeepers throughout the world.
