P resident’s M essage

Because the CAGCS has become aware of
a number of problems several golf course
superintendents have faced during the past
few months, the March 17 meeting was
devoted to discussing the current status of
professional golf course superintendents in
Connecticut. In addition, the meeting
touched upon how superintendents can
acquire job security and maintain, even
bolster, their image as professionals in the
golf course business.
Two positive results evolved from this
discussion.
First, it was established that increased
communication among golf course superin­
tendents is important and helpful. Stimulat­
ing discussion makes meetings more inter­
esting and worthwhile, and it helps all of
us not only to deal effectively with problems
we may face, but also to develop the selfconfidence needed to conquer these prob­
lems. It is much easier to deal with difficulties
when, through talking to others in our field,
we find that someone else has had to deal with
the same or similar situation. Very often, too,
we can gain insight from seeing how others
handle similar problems. But more impor­
tantly, effective communication is the way to
improve our status and reputation among the
golfing public and our superiors. Ideas for,
even practice at, communicating well can
begin at the CAGCS meetings.
Second, the CAGCS hopes to begin to play
a more aggressive role in several areas of golf
course management. First, it would like to
begin offering assistance in finding clubs
suitable employees to fill their superinten­
dent vacancies. In addition, it would like to
offer technical and employment advisory
assistance. Specific information regarding
these programs will be forthcoming within
the next couple of months.

ai^ys-popular Superintendent Invi­
tational wii^jpt>e held at the Race Brook
Country Club'oir June 1st this year and host
superintendent Armand LeSage promises
that the golf course will be a tough challenge
for this year’s entries.
Armand and his crew have been hard at
work getting ready for our arrival. They have
been overseeding fairways, planting trees,
topdressing like crazy (by hand—that’s
crazy!), and even rounding up a swan for the
pond on #2. The swan is the Race Brook
Country Club’s symbol, and Armand has
looked high and low for a suitable replace­
ment for the one that got “beaned” last year.
Race Brook Country Club is a 27-hole
private golf club. It was founded in 1912 as a
36-hole facility but was reduced to 27 holes
at the beginning of World War II. The
architect was Robert Pryde, a charter
member of the GCSAA.
Armand took over as superintendent for
the retiring Maurice Ryan in 1980. Before
taking over as superintendent, Armand
worked as assistant to Ryan from 1975 to
1980, and before that, beginning in 1969, he
was assistant superintendent at the Wethers­
field Country Club. Armand is a 1966
UMASS Turf School graduate and a Vietnam
War veteran.
Golf Professional Frank Selva and
Manager Thomas Flanagan promise to make
our day as enjoyable as possible, and anyone
who has ever played at Race Brook knows
that the enjoyment assuredly comes from the
meticulously groomed grounds and not
always from your golf score.
So ask your club officials now to sign up for
this highlight of our golfing season. Re­
member first come, first served . . . and
please, don’t bean any swans!

Ted Maddocks Country Club of Fairfield

The April 20th CAGCS meeting will be
held at the Country Club of Fairfield in
Fairfield, Connecticut. Your host, Ted
Maddocks, has been Superintendent at
Fairfield for just a few short months, taking
over for James Burke.
Ted is married, 27 years old, father of three
boys and holds an Associate’s degree from
the UMASS (Stockbridge) Turf School. Ted
comes to Fairfield from the Pittsfield
Country Club in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
The Country Club of Fairfield was opened
on July 2, 1921. The original architect was
Seth Raynor and in 1957 the course was
redesigned by Robert Trent Jones. The
interesting seashore layout is a true test of
your golfing skills. Anyone who played in the
1979 Superintendent Invitational can attest
to that. Don’t miss this special opportunity to
play on one of this state’s finest golfing
facilities.

Greg Wojick Willimantic Country Club

The Willimantic Country Club is the site
for the May 12th CAGCS meeting. The club
opened as a nine-hole golf facility in 1922. In
1966, the back nine and a new maintenance
building were added, and the parking lot and
clubhouse were expanded. Today the club
has a membership of nearly 400 persons, and
plans are now being laid for future improve­
ments.
I got my start in the golf course business at
the Skungamaug River Golf Club, and I
broadened my experience by working at the
Balcones Country Club in Austin, Texas.
Upon graduation from the University of
Connecticut in 1978, I worked for a short
time for the Soil Conservation Service in
Storrs and then as an assistant to Golf Course
Superintendent Bob Chalifour at the
Shennecossett Golf Course in Groton. As
Superintendent at the Willimantic Country
Club for the past two years, I have under­
taken several improvement projects. The par
three, #10 hole has been altered to increase
the golfer’s “pleasure”; numerous trees and
shrubs have been planted to further define
and beautify the course; and a long-range
equipment improvement plan has been
initiated to increase job efficiency. Future
plans call for automating the irrigation
system which is, at present, manually
operated for tees and greens.
Our Pro-Manager, John Boucher, will
greet you in the Pro Shop and for all you early
arrivals, you are welcome to drop by the
maintenance building for coffee and donuts.

C oping With the
W ater Sh ortage

Each year it seems that some region of the
country is faced with a shortage of water. If
the problem becomes critical enough and
water use restrictions are imposed, one of the
first uses to feel the ax is golf course
irrigation. Notwithstanding the fact that the
golf industry generates millions of dollars in
goods and services and employs thousands of
people, golf course irrigation is considered a
recreational use of water in most states and
therefore is placed low on the priority list
during a water shortage. The limits placed on
course irrigation in any particular area may
vary from conservation to mandatory re­
strictions to a complete ban on all water uses.
In each instance, short-term and long-term
management programs must be thoughtfully
designed in order to ensure the best possible
survival of existing turf areas.
The following are some thoughts on how to
make the best use of existing water resources
and how to condition turfgrasses for drought
conditions.
The Irrigation System
A well-designed, correctly installed and
properly utilized automatic irrigation system
provides the best means of conserving
water. Water savings of 40 percent to 75
percent have been documented on golf
courses that converted from a manual to an
automatic system. However, regardless of the
type of irrigation system available, it should
be operated at peak efficiency and steps
should be taken to increase its efficiency if the
situation permits.
— Repair all leaks.
— Check nozzle size as it relates to available
pressure and resulting coverage.
— Check for nozzle wear.
— Where necessary, relocate heads to im­
prove water distribution.
— Use half-circle sprinklers where
applicable.
— Check pump performance and other
pumphouse systems.
Irrigation Practices
Proper use of the irrigation system is one of
the most important factors in conserving
water. Preparing turf for hot summer weather
requires that little, if any, irrigation water be
applied during the spring. Encourage the turf
to establish a deep, fibrous root system in the
spring by allowing the soil to become dry
between rains and/or irrigation sessions.
— Before irrigating, use a soil probe to
determine existing soil moisture and
rooting depth.

— Apply water as uniformly as possible,
depending on soil conditions and plant
needs.
— Apply water only as fast as the soil can
accept it. To avoid puddling and runoff,
use short, repeat cycles or else cultivate
the soil (core, slice, spike) to improve
water infiltration.
— Irrigate when there is little wind and
when the temperature is relatively low
usually at night.
— Hand water critical areas if it can prevent
overwatering adjacent areas.
— Constantly monitor the system to ensure
that all heads are operating as they should
be.
Cultural Programs
To paraphrase an old cliche, “a healthy
turf is a drought-resistant turf.”
— Aerification. Aerate (core) turf areas
during the spring in order to relieve soil
compaction, promote root growth and
improve water infiltration (note: concerns
about Poa annua encroachment after
spring aerification are of secondary
importance when drought stress may
place the survival of the turf in jeopardy).
— Cultivation. Spike and/or slice turf areas
when weather permits through out the
season so that good water infiltration is
maintained.
— Wetting agents. A wetting agent should be
used during the spring, and at lighter
rates during the summer, to promote good
water infiltration through thatch and soil,
improve soil water retention and prevent
dew formation. It is normally used on
greens and collars, but can be beneficial
to most turf areas.
— Fertilization. Use relatively low rates of
nitrogen fertilizer. A lush, fast-growing
turf uses more water and is more suscept­
ible to injury from other stresses.
Coordinate applications with predicted
rains or apply during light rains.

— Diseases and Insects. Avoid turf damage
from diseases and insects by utilizing a
proper pest control program.
— Weeds. Apply herbicides in the spring for
weed control only if large numbers of
weeds are present (broadleaf) or can be
anticipated (crabgrass). If spraying must
be done, spot-treat the worst areas rather
than making a blanket application.
— Cutting height. If possible, raise the
cutting height and reduce mowing fre­
quency on tees, fairways and roughs. It
is unlikely that much benefit will be
derived from raising the height on greens
already cut at 3/16” - 1/4”.
— Thatch control. If excessive thatch is a
problem, then thatch control measures
(aeration, spiking, slicing, verticutting)
and wetting agents should be utilizing on
a regular basis.
— Overseeding. On turf areas composed
primarily of Poa annua, plans should
include overseeding during late summer
or early fall with a more drought tolerant
grass species. Turf areas which cannot be
irrigated during the summer will likely
require renovation during the fall.
Reduce Other Stress Factors
Avoid placing turf under any unnecessary
forms of stress. A healthy, vigorous turf is
much more likly to survive the drought if
other stress factors can be reduced or elimin­
ated.
— Cart and foot traffic. Distribute traffic
across the turf as uniformly as possible.
Eliminate traffic on important play areas
when possible by keeping carts on paths,
banning cart use on certain days or weeks
during the season, and by careful traffic
monitoring.
— Drainage. Good drainage, even during a
water shortage, is a pre-requisite to good
turf. Turf in poorly drained areas is
usually shallow-rooted and weak. Work
on drainage installation any time weather
permits.
— Weeds, Insects, Diseases. As noted
above, eliminate competition and injury
from weeds, insects and diseases by
following proper pest control programs.
— Trees. Trees can weaken turf by pre­
venting good air circulation and creating
excessive shade, and tree roots can
compete with turf for available moisture
and nutrients. When possible, improve
sunlight penetration and air circulation
by thinning trees or their branches. Root
prune trees and greens to reduce moisture
stress in these areas.
— Wind barriers. Though not practical in
most instances, the establishment of wind
barriers near exposed sites can help to
reduce évapotranspiration water losses.
Continued on next page.

Establish Priorities
When water use is restricted to a certain
quantity, based on either a percentage of
previous use or on an absolute quantity per
facility, it usually becomes necessary to set
priorities with respect to which areas of the
course will receive the specific allotment.
When this occurs, the following priorities are
usually established:
1) Greens and collars
2) Tees
3) Approach areas
4) Landing zones
5) Other fairway areas
6) Roughs
Investigate New Sources of Water
When water rationing is imposed, it is
often those golf courses which utilize munici­
pal or public water supplies that are hardest
hit. Therefore, it usually pays a golf course to
establish alternative sources of water for
future use. Among the options are:
— Creating new ponds or enlarging existing
ponds and reservoirs to hold large
quantities of water which can be diverted
from streams, wells, catch basins or other
bodies of water.
— Digging wells to supply water directly to
the irrigation system or to existing ponds
or reservoirs.
— Dredging existing ponds, canals and res­
ervoirs in order to increase their capacity.
— Investigate using sewage effluent for
irrigation purposes.
— Collect and funnel runoff water, water
from air conditioners, shower water and
pool water into existing ponds.
Conclusion
Of critical importance in dealing with a
water shortage is the advance planning which
must be done to ensure that the best can be
made of a bad situation. The golf course
superintendent and course officials should
agree ahead of time as to the best program to
follow. Club members should be forewarned
about the kinds of restrictions that might be
placed upon them as the season progresses
and they should understand that turf losses
will inevitably occur should water use be
severly curtailed. When it comes to dealing
with the golfer and his course, the best policy
is one of no surprises.
The explanations for some of the above
recommendations are necessarily brief and
not all of the guidelines apply equally to all
golf course situations. For more information
on any of these recommendations, please
contact the nearest USGA Green Section
regional office.

51 Ways to Cope
1. Minimum nitrogen, higher potash.
2. Higher cut on greens, tees, fairways.
3. Hold back on first watering to harden
turf.
4. Establish priorities on watering, i.e.,
greens, tees, approaches, landing areas,
etc.
5. Use anti-transparents on grass and
shrubs. (Experiment)
6. Advise membership now concerning
water problems we will be facing.
7. Watch herbicide-fertilizer application.
Less amounts if water availability is in
question.
8. More hand watering, less sprinkler use
on greens.
9. Determine how much water you have to
work with (capacities of lakes, ponds,
etc.). Adjust watering program to
possibilty of not having any rainfall to
replenish these amounts.
10. Omit fairway watering if necessary.
11. Capture rain water roof gutters, from
club buildings for filling spray rigs,
cleaning, etc.
12. Get back to old-time basics of golf course
management, i.e., old courses in
Scotland, no water, but still beautiful.
13. Consider sprigging Zoysia grass in
fairway areas prone to wilt and moisture
loss.
14. Use wetting agents for more uniform
water profile. (Experiment)
15. Keep nitrogen on the 3-4-pound rate per
year.
16. Program or apply irrigation in dawn to
early a.m. hours.
17. Use soil probe to determine water need.
18. Cut less area as fairway - shorter and
norrower.
19. Insist on water person timing all moves.
20. Cut down nozzle if possible.
21. Educate water person as to desirability
of “skipping” low fairway areas.
22. Use herbicides only if needed (can
reduce roots).
23. Educate your membership, write a
special newsletter and follow up articles
laying it on the tables as to what will
happen.
24. Re-evaluate all your water requirments.
25. Reduce number of rounds of golf
allowed on days of stress.
26. Allow for the maximum recovery time of
a turf area before use again.
27. Develop a crisis management program.
28. Water 5-10 minutes daily between 5:00
and 7:00 a.m.
29. Use sewage effluent for water use.
30. Night watering only.
31. Less frequent mowings.

With L e ss W ater

32. Begin watering as late as possible in
1981.
33. Consider mowing at night to reduce
stress.
34. Water in daytime, to be able to supervise
and observe better.
35. Conserve, adjust watering down to base
minimum.
36. Use mulches on plant materials.
37. Erect wind barriers where needed.
38. Seek additional water sources (drains,
ditches, wells, ponds, marginal water,
roof systems, air conditioner water,
etc.).
39. Meter usage.
40. Improve efficiency of system (fix leaks,
relocate heads, check nozzles, train
waterman).
41. Minimize spring nitrogen applications.
42. Aerate turf areas this spring, to establish
good roots and ensure good water
infiltration.
43. Keep turf “hardened” prior to summer
by irrigation as infrequently as possible
during the spring.
44. Irrigate at night when possible — less
wind, lower temperature, less evapora­
tion.
45. Check soil moisture and depth of roots
before deciding to irrigate, and then
irrigate only to depth of roots.
46. Reduce or avoid other stress factors
(insects, diseases, weeds, good traffic
control and good drainage.)
47. Consider using more organic fertilizers
less inorganic fertilizers, to lower salt
index and reduce need for frequent and
copious watering.
48. If watering is prohibited, consider pump
house renovations and improvements.
49. Communicate with an informal local golf
associations, such as PGA, MGA, etc.,
on what effect altered maintenance
programs will have on playing condi­
tions.
50. Read April 1981 issue of Golf Course
Management.
51. Pray for frequent rains!

FRIDAY - In at dawn again and fell over
the barn dog, before I get a light on. Friday is
the day we do EVERYTHING. Assistant late
again, sometimes I wonder about him. He
wouldn’t even hold still when I had to cut
the bubble gum out of his hair—got mad
because I cut his headband. This is the day I
was going to spray because I missed last
Friday that should have gone on the Friday
before that. Maybe Monday. Maybe by then
the cutworms will have turned to moths and
have flown away. Looped around the course
in the pre-dawn light and saw four joggers, a
mushroom picker, two ball hoppers in the
pond, three members walking dogs, an old
Italian lady cutting dandelions and a part­
ridge in a pear tree. Threw a rock at the last
mentioned. I love the course early in the
morning—so quiet, so peaceful and tranquil.
I think I’ll call the state troopers and have all
these people arrested. Picked up the remains
of a big beer party by the fifteenth then went
to work.
SATURDAY—Everybody in the world
loves weekends but Greenskeepers. More
turf disasters have happened on Saturday
and Sunday than all the Mondays, Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays put
together. Right off the bat four pins and a
dozen markers missing and the usual
moronic messages written in the sand traps...
why can’t they write inspirational thoughts or
the weather report? A neat group partied last
night. All imported beer, an empty Southern
Comfort bottle and two Cutty Sarks—
members’ kids. Went to look at a very large
pupa dangling from the tree by the ninth and
after gazing in wonder for two seconds
realized it was a tampon. Left it there, maybe
it will hatch.
